Profile Cutting Services For The Construction Industry

Supplying Essential Steel Parts To UK Construction Projects

At Patrick Steel Ltd, we support the construction industry by supplying key fabricated steel components. Our core services include profile cutting, welding, surface preparation and precision grinding. These services are used to create base plates, end plates and other structural steel parts that are vital to the safe and effective assembly of steel frameworks.

Most of our customers are active in the UK construction sector. We supply them with mild steel plates that are cut and prepared to exact sizes. These plates are usually fixed to steel beams and columns, making them ready to connect to other parts of the structure.

Profile Cutting Applications

Profile cutting is a vital step in the fabrication process. It shapes steel plates into specific forms based on project drawings. These are used as connection points on site, meaning every cut must be accurate and consistent.

Flame Cutting For Thick Section Steel

Flame cutting is ideal for heavy-duty work. It allows us to cut thick mild steel sections cleanly and accurately. We use this method to produce strong plates that can handle structural loads. It’s a trusted choice for base plates and end plates used in steel frames.

Lumsden Grinding For Flat, Uniform Plates

Once plates are cut, Lumsden grinding is often used to smooth and level the surface. This gives a flat finish and even thickness across the plate. For clients in the construction industry, this means better welds, neater joins and a more secure fit.

Plasma Cutting For Complex Shapes

We also undertake plasma cutting for projects that require detailed shapes or thinner profiles. This method is fast, clean and accurate, making it ideal for parts needing to meet tight tolerances. It's often used for brackets, holes and cut-outs on structural components.

Heat Treatment For Extra Strength

Some steel parts need to be heat treated before use. We can provide this service to adjust the hardness or strength of the steel. This improves how the parts handle pressure and wear, making them last longer in active use.

Shot Blasting For Clean, Weld-Ready Surfaces

Before welding or painting, steel plates must be clean. We can provide shot blasting to remove surface imperfections, giving the surface a clean and textured finish. This improves the bond for welding and also helps coatings adhere better.

Welding For End Plate Attachment

Our team can weld end plates directly to steel beams before delivery. These welded plates make the beams ready to install on site. It’s a fast, efficient solution that saves time for contractors and reduces work on site.

Steel Beams & Columns Cut To Spec

We can supply steel beams and columns as part of our service. Each beam can be cut and prepared to meet the job spec. We help contractors get the right parts, ready to fit, with minimal effort once delivered.

Built For The Demands Of The Construction Sector

Construction sites need fast turnaround, strong materials and reliable suppliers. Our setup is designed to meet those needs. We work with a wide range of clients and understand how to deliver quality, on time.

We take care of cutting, grinding, blasting, welding and delivery, all from our facility in Coventry. That means fewer delays, better quality control and a single point of contact. 

If your project involves structural steelwork, we’re here to help with reliable, made-to-order components.
