Want to ask a question?

If you want to place and order then the quickest way is to either telephone or email, currently we don't take orders on-line as we're old fasioned and like to write things down (this way we know if we have physical material stock on our shelves for an enquiry.) We're always available to help with a material selection or advise on an engineered part, please feel free to give us a call as one of our engineers will be happy to help.
