We design, laser cut, fold, weld and assemble sheet-metal parts and enclosures for teams that can’t miss deadlines. From one-offs and pilots to steady repeat builds, we keep things simple: clear drawings, clean parts, and reliable dates. If you’re fighting late deliveries or inconsistent quality, we’ll help you get control of your schedule.
Hocklynn offers a full range of sheet metal fabrication services from a single site in Bristol. Our team handles every stage of the manufacturing process, from initial CAD design and converting flat sheets of raw material through to laser cutting, CNC folding, metal forming, welding, finishing, and final assembly. We fabricate in mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, galvanised steel, brass, and copper. Whether you need a customised sheet metal bracket, a batch of powder-coated panels, or a fully assembled product ready for your customer, we manage the entire fabrication process under one roof.
Quality is built into every process at Hocklynn, not bolted on at the end. We operate a quality management system, with full traceability from raw material to finished part. Every component is inspected against the customer drawing before dispatch. Many of our manufacturing team have been with the company for decades, and that depth of experience shows in the consistency and strength of the finished product.
Whether you need a single prototype or ongoing batch production, our setup handles both. We are built for short-run manufacturing, typically 5 to 50 units per batch, which suits OEM manufacturers, design houses, and engineering consultancies who need a responsive fabrication partner. Our best customer relationships start with a prototype and grow into long-term repeat production partnerships. If you are developing a new product and need a manufacturing partner who can touch every stage from design input through to finished assemblies, get in touch.
Sheet metal fabrication is the process of converting flat sheets of metal into finished parts and products through a combination of cutting, folding, welding, and finishing processes. It covers everything from simple brackets and panels to complex multi-part assemblies. At Hocklynn, we handle the full fabrication process, from laser cutting and CNC folding through to welding, powder coating, finishing and final assembly.
We work with mild steel, stainless steel (304 and 316), aluminium, galvanised steel, brass, and copper. Our laser and press brakes handle a wide range of thicknesses, and our team can advise on the best material for your application based on strength, weight, corrosion resistance, and cost.
There is no minimum. We produce single prototypes, short runs of 5 to 50 parts, and ongoing repeat production batches. Our setup is designed to be efficient at low volumes, which is why OEMs and product designers choose us as a manufacturing partner.
Send your drawings or specifications to sales@hocklynn.co.uk or use our contact form. We accept DXF, DWG, STEP, and SolidWorks files, or even a rough sketch with dimensions. One of our engineers will get back to you with a clear quote, an honest lead time, and any design suggestions that could reduce your costs or improve manufacturability.

From precision components to custom electrical enclosures, we handle all fabrication processes under one roof.
If you’re fighting late deliveries or inconsistent quality, we’ll help you get control of your schedule – and keep it.
If you already have a defined spec, we’ll build to it. If you’d like input, we’ll suggest small changes that make parts easier (and cheaper) to run – without changing function. Communication is straightforward: one point of contact, honest lead times, and progress updates you don’t have to chase.
