Sheet metal fabrication

Sheet Metal Fabrication

As a leading UK sheet metal fabrication supplier, WEC Fabrication delivers complete solutions from design through to finishing.

Using profiles produced by our advanced laser and waterjet cutting divisions, we work with a wide variety of materials including stainless steel, aluminium and mild steel. Our fully equipped workshop allows for MIG/TIG Welding, CNC bending, folding, pressing, and polishing, along with finishing techniques such as powder coating, shot blasting, and vaqua blasting. We also have clean welding dedicated areas for high-end sheet metal fabrication projects, as well as specialist assembly capabilities.

Every project is managed in-house, ensuring tight quality control and reduced lead times. Whether it’s a small precision part or a complex sheet metal assembly, we deliver with consistency, speed and precision.

Advanced Assembly Capabilities

Our 33,000 sq. ft. purpose-built production facility in Blackburn features a temperature-controlled, dust-free clean room designed for the precision assembly of multi-part aerospace components, ambulance tail lift sub-assemblies, and intricate machine tools.

Maintained through regular calibration to uphold the highest cleanliness standards, the clean room allows us to meet the stringent requirements of the aerospace, defence, and healthcare sectors. With six dedicated welding bays and ASME VIII and IX accredited welders, we deliver rapid batch production without ever compromising on quality.

Types of Welding we offer

We provide a comprehensive suite of welding services tailored to fabrication and sheet metal fabrication projects, including:

• TIG Welding (Tungsten Inert Gas) – delivers precise welds with exceptional control, ideal for thin sheet metals and high-quality fabrications.
• MIG Welding (Metal Inert Gas) – efficient and reliable, perfect for thicker materials and heavy-duty fabrication work.
• MMA Welding (Manual Metal Arc) – versatile for various metals and fabrication environments, offering strong, durable welds.
• Submerged Arc Welding – suited for thick structural fabrications, providing deep weld penetration and superior strength.
• Robotic Welding – advanced automation for consistent, high-volume sheet metal welding with precision and speed.

By utilising this diverse range of welding techniques, we ensure the most effective and high-quality fabrication methods are applied to meet the exact requirements of each project.
