Delivery & turnaround
Most jobs are quoted the same working day and cut within a few working days. Collect from Andover or we'll ship across the UK — and for rush work, there's a same-day option through Next Day Laser.
Three ways to get your parts
Pick what suits the job — speed, collection or nationwide despatch.
Collect from Andover
Pick up from Unit 4 Brunel Gate, West Portway, by arrangement. Ideal for local engineers and fabricators — no carriage cost and you can eyeball the parts before you leave.
UK delivery
We ship parts nationwide by courier or pallet, packed to arrive undamaged. Carriage is quoted on the size and weight of the job and added to your firm price.
Same-day rush
On the clock? Our sister service Next Day Laser dispatches same-day on orders placed before 9am, for next-working-day delivery.
Typical turnaround
Indicative only — your committed lead time is confirmed with your firm quote and depends on material stock and current workload.
| Stage | What happens | Typical |
|---|---|---|
| Indicative quote | Instant online figure from your file | Seconds |
| Firm quote | Engineer reviews the file and confirms price & lead time | Same working day |
| Cutting | Parts nested and cut on the fibre laser | A few working days |
| Finishing (optional) | Folding, welding, deburring or powder coating | Add 1–3 days |
| Rush (Next Day Laser) | Order before 9am for same-day despatch | Next working day |
Need it finished, not just cut?
Because we fold, weld, deburr and powder coat in-house through Hurstbourne Forge, finished parts don't disappear off to a sub-contractor and come back days later. We'll fold the blanks, weld the assembly and coat it on our own line, then despatch — usually only a day or two on top of the cutting time.
Ready when you are
Upload your drawing for an instant indicative price — we'll confirm the firm price, the lead time and the carriage in one go.
