Stainless steel fabrication solutions
Our stainless steel fabrication service is one option from the full-service metalwork solutions we offer. In our fabrication workshop, we take different materials that have been through our quality checks, design, cutting and forming processes and weld them together, before linishing and dressing in readiness for finishing with powder coating.
The high level of skill and control that comes from our experienced team ensures that we deliver high-quality parts and components through to fully finished products every time.
We are continually investing in our workshops and tooling to ensure we have an optimised environment to carry out our steelwork. The dedicated fabrication workshop within our precision manufacturing facility provides ideal operational conditions, ensuring the finest products are ready for the next stage of their manufacturing journey, on time and to exceptional standards.
Types of steel used in metal fabrication
Both mild steel and stainless steel are raw materials that can be used for the fabrication of components or products. If you are not sure which is the best material for your application, our experienced team can advise.
Pros and cons of mild steel
Mild steel, or low-carbon steel, is a popular choice for a variety of industrial projects. Mild steel lends itself well to machining and welding, as it is ductile, malleable and transfers heat easily.
It is more affordable than some other materials but is not suitable for harsh or damp environments due to its susceptibility to corrosion.
Pros and cons of stainless steel
Stainless steel offers corrosion resistance, as well as durability, high tensile strength, temperature resistance and low maintenance. Although a harder material than mild steel, it is easy to form and fabricate and provides an attractive appearance on products and components.
Our fabrication process is all taken care of in-house by our experienced and skilled team.
Which steel is best for fabrication?
Both types of steel are great materials for metal fabrication. Which one is ‘best’ will depend on your project and requirements.
JC Metalworks undertakes all types of projects for bulk production, for many different applications and industries. For each specific project, our experienced team will identify the best steel based on many factors including the industry, environment, application and fabrication requirements and discuss this with you before undertaking the work.

Our stainless steel fabrication process
From concept to delivery, we have a complete end-to-end solution under one roof. We strive to give our customers the best possible experience, with unparalleled industry insight and expertise.
When you choose us you’ll be assigned a project manager, who will stay with you through the entirety of the project – whether that’s a one-off bulk order or a complete range to be delivered every month.
Our process begins in the design and engineering department, where our expert engineers will bring your idea to life through design, development and prototyping.
Manufacturing comes next, first into laser cutting and punching, then forming, before heading into the metal fabrication area. After this, it’s on to finishing, assembly and packing, before your products are despatched directly to you or held in storage.
