Steel fabrication is only half the job. Getting it installed correctly, safely and on programme is just as important. Ultra Fabrication offer a complete metal work and installation service across York and Yorkshire, handling everything from the initial cut and drill through to the finished, painted installation on your site.
We are not just a fabrication shop that drops materials at the gate. We are a team that takes ownership of the whole process, from workshop to finished installation. That is what makes us the preferred metalwork contractor for builders, developers and homeowners across York.
Our Metal Work Services in York
Cutting and Drilling
Precision cutting and drilling is at the foundation of quality metal work. We cut steel sections to exact lengths and drill holes to specified positions and diameters, ensuring that every component arrives on site ready to install without modification. This saves your site team time and keeps your build programme on track.
Painting and Priming
Exposed steelwork needs to be protected against corrosion, particularly in Yorkshire where weather conditions can be demanding. We offer painting and priming as a standard part of our fabrication process. Whether you need a simple red oxide primer for steelwork that will be covered up, or a full paint system for exposed architectural steel, we can accommodate your specification.
Shot Blasting
Shot blasting removes mill scale, rust and contamination from steel surfaces to provide a clean key for paint systems. It is the preferred preparation method for structural and architectural steelwork that will be exposed to the elements or where paint adhesion and longevity are critical. We arrange shot blasting as part of our fabrication and finishing service.
Galvanizing
For steelwork that will be permanently exposed to the weather, such as gates, railings, external platforms and agricultural structures, hot-dip galvanizing provides the most durable corrosion protection available. We arrange galvanizing through our network of approved processors, coordinating collection, processing and return to keep your programme moving.
