A Trusted Partner in Stainless Steel
We’re a reliable choice for stainless steel projects where precision, strength, and quality are critical. With extensive experience in fabricating and machining high-grade stainless steel, we deliver consistent results for bespoke builds and large-scale production, meeting your expectations every time.
They’re not just fabricators; they’re integral to our supply chain. Universal Fabrications’ expertise in stainless steel machining and fabrication ensures our components meet the highest standards, even in demanding environments.
Why Choose Stainless Steel for Your Project?
Stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant alloy with at least 10.5% chromium, is a top choice for applications demanding durability, hygiene, and aesthetics. Its versatility makes it ideal for construction (e.g., structural beams and railings), defence (e.g., corrosion-resistant fittings and enclosures), and food processing (e.g., sanitary equipment and storage tanks).
Key benefits include:
Midlands-based Stainless Steel Machining and Fabrication Specialists
Fabrication & Welding High-Grade Stainless Steel
As stainless steel fabrication specialists in Coventry, we craft a wide range of structures, from architectural railings to defence-grade enclosures. Our welding processes – MIG, TIG, CMT, and robotic – are tailored to maintain material integrity and prevent distortion. All welders are qualified to BS EN ISO 9606-1, and our BS EN 3834-2 accreditation ensures compliance with safety-critical standards.
We work with industry-standard stainless steel grades, including:
We accept client-supplied materials or source from approved UK suppliers.
Precision CNC Machining for Stainless Steel Components
Machining stainless steel requires advanced tooling to handle its hardness. Our 3, 4, and 5-axis CNC mills (up to 2m x 2m envelope) and CNC lathes (500mm diameter) achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.01mm, perfect for intricate components or post-fabrication finishing. With crane handling up to 10 tonnes, we manage heavy-duty workpieces with accuracy.
Repeatable Fabrication with Robotic Welding
For batch production, our robotic welding systems deliver consistent, high-quality welds, ideal for repeatable components like frames or enclosures. Overseen by certified engineers, this ensures efficiency and precision, reducing lead times for stainless steel fabrication and machining specialists projects.
Chassis & Sub-Assembly Build
We deliver complete chassis and sub-assemblies, integrating machining and fabrication for precise fits. This is critical for applications requiring mounting points for hydraulic systems, electronics, or drivetrains in defence and industrial projects.
Testing & Surface Finishing for Stainless Steel Projects
We provide pressure and leak testing for sealed enclosures, ensuring integrity in hygienic or defence applications. Our surface finishing options enhance durability and aesthetics:
Accredited Quality Systems
Our ISO 9001:2015 certification guarantees quality and traceability. We supply weld maps, procedures, First Article Inspection Reports (FAIRs), and dimensional reports. Our inspection team uses calibrated Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) to verify precision.
From Prototypes to Production-Ready Stainless Steel in the Midlands
Whether you need a single prototype or a full production run, Universal Fabrications in Coventry is your partner for stainless steel machining and fabrication in the UK, delivering quality, consistency, and control at every stage.
