Laser Cutting & Fabrication Services

Richards Sheet Metal Ltd was established in 1973 by Donald Richards.  Starting out from his garage he quickly had to move to bigger premises. We now operate from a 10,000 sq ft workshop facility which houses both our Laser Cutting machines and metal fabrication facility. For over twenty five years we served the large Lucas Aerospace & Automotive factories nearby. Nearly forty years on we have built up an enviable reputation as well as an outstanding team of loyal and dedicated employees. We have around 300 regular customers ranging geographically from Portsmouth and as far north as the Hebrides plus a small number on mainland Europe.

What Are The Benefits Of Our Laser Cutting Services?

Laser Cutting ServicesLaser cutting is faster and more efficient than the old methods of cutting metal and can be used in cutting or etching other materials as well. Here are just a few of the benefits that laser cutting can provide.

Superior Cutting Edge

When using laser cutting to cut metal you get a clean cut edge that doesn’t need deburring, which means that once the piece is cut, the edge is already finished,  shaving time off the overall cutting of the metal. Best of all, the cuts made by our laser cutting services are extremely accurate eliminating the amount of  wasted material.

Intricate Detail

Laser cutting can also be used to add intricate detail onto metal cutting designs. This is one reason that schools and even artists are changing to laser cutting for a number of projects. Whether you want a few simple holes cut into your sheet metal or entire designs cut out, our laser cutting service can provide the intricate designs and details you are looking for.

Laser Cutting Allows For The Cutting Of Complex Shapes Without The Need For Tooling

With the old method of cutting metal and other materials if anyone need a shape that was a bit complex the machines that cut the metal needed to be tooled or retooled to do the job. This all took time and often meant delays on complex orders. With laser cutting the need for any tooling is eliminated, meaning complex shapes no longer pose a problem therefore  ensuring orders these are dealt with without any delays.

Fast Turn Around Time
