Getting your order out

Dispatch runs from the plant directly. For local deliveries we load and send the same week wherever stock allows; for made-to-order sizes the lead time is confirmed in writing at order acceptance, not estimated afterwards.

Bundles are strapped and tagged with the size, grade and heat so material stays identifiable on site. If your project needs a particular bundling or marking convention, tell us at the enquiry stage.

Visiting the plant

Customers and inspectors are welcome at the works. Arrange the visit in advance through the sales office so the right people from production and QA are on site when you arrive.

How it is made

From coil to consignment

Six stages, every one of them inspected. Nothing leaves the mill without a certificate against the standard it was ordered to.

  1. 01

    Coil in, inspected

    Prime mild steel, galvanized or pre-painted coil is checked for gauge, width and surface before it is accepted onto the floor.

  2. 02

    Slit to width

    Coil is slit to the strip width the finished profile calls for, so the cover width lands where the drawing says it should.

  3. 03

    Roll formed

    Strip runs through the forming stands to corrugated, trapezoidal, IBR or tile profile — or through the draw blocks, for wire.

  4. 04

    Cut to length

    Profiled sheet is cut to the length ordered rather than a standard length, which is what removes end laps from a long run.

  5. 05

    Coated or drawn down

    Sheet leaves plain, galvanized or colour-coated. Wire is drawn to gauge and then left hard, annealed soft, or zinc coated.

  6. 06

    Tested and certified

    Gauge, coating mass, cover width and tensile checked, and the mill certificate raised against the consignment.
