Where our work goes
We're based at Moreteyne Farm, Marston Moretaine, off the A421 between Bedford and Milton Keynes. We send engineers to your site to see the job and measure up, build everything in our own workshop, then organise delivery through our logistics partners. With everything in-house, that often works out cheaper than a local fabricator. Your installer or contractor fits it.
Most fabrication work comes from within 40 miles. Containers travel further as a matter of course: a 20ft or 40ft unit goes out on a lorry whether the site is 10 miles away or 100, so for container work the distance makes little difference to the price per unit. Larger fabrication jobs, such as frames, enclosures, stairs and structural steelwork, are worth sending a long way when the batch is big enough to carry the delivery. We'll tell you straight if it isn't.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work further than 100 miles away?
Sometimes, mostly on container orders and larger batches where the delivery cost is small next to the job. Send the drawing and the site postcode and we'll say whether it makes sense.
Do you install on site?
No. We fabricate in our workshop and your installer or contractor fits. We send engineers to measure up and organise delivery of the finished steel or containers to your site, ready to fit.
Can I visit the workshop?
Yes, by appointment. Plenty of customers come to see a first-off part or a unit part-way through. Call Daniel on 07365 129991 to arrange it.
