FAQs – Sheet Metal, Signage & Custom Fabrication

Metal Sheets Ltd does more than supply premium sheet metal — we design, cut, fabricate, finish and deliver complete products. From a copper kitchen island or bespoke brass plaque to custom signage or aged metal panels, these FAQs cover the essentials. If you can’t find what you need, get in touch with our team — we’re always happy to help.

What products do you make from sheet metal?

We manufacture a wide range of bespoke metalwork including kitchen worktops, bar counters, tabletops, splashbacks, signage, engraved plaques, metal lettering, and decorative wall panels. All are made to order in copper, brass, zinc, stainless steel, aluminium, and mild/Corten steel.

Do you only supply raw metal sheets?

No — while we do supply high-quality sheet metal, we also offer complete fabrication and finishing services. Whether you need a simple cut panel or a fully fabricated bar top or sign, we can help.

Can you cut and shape metal to my design?

Yes. We provide guillotine cutting, laser cutting, press braking (folding) and custom fabrication. Send us your sketch, cutting list, or CAD drawing and we’ll quote accordingly. Learn more about our facilities.

What finishes can you apply?

We specialise in patina finishes for copper, brass, zinc, and pewter — including antique, aged, verdigris, and rustic effects. Other options include brushed, polished, hammered, embossed, and powder-coated surfaces. Patina samples are available on request.

Do you make signs and logos for businesses?

Yes. We create bespoke metal signs for retail, hospitality, distilleries, architects, and designers. These include engraved logos, raised lettering, and patinated branding panels. See our metal signage.

Can you engrave my artwork or logo?

Absolutely. We offer rotary engraving, CNC routing, and laser engraving. Whether it’s a small plaque or a large-format 3-metre sign, we can engrave brass, copper, aluminium, zinc, and stainless steel.

Do you offer patina services for customer-supplied items?

Yes. Alongside patinating our own metalwork, we provide a subcontract patina service for customer-supplied items such as brass panels, copper sinks, or signage.

How long is the turnaround time?

Typical lead times range from 1–2 weeks for cut panels to 3–6 weeks for large fabricated or patinated projects, depending on complexity. We’ll confirm your timeframe at the quoting stage.

Is there a minimum order?

No. We handle one-off prototypes as well as production runs. Whether you need a single custom plaque or a batch of counters, we can help.

Do you deliver finished products across the UK?

Yes, we deliver both raw materials and finished products nationwide. Small items go by courier, while larger pieces are sent by pallet. You can also arrange collection from our workshop.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we can export metal sheets and fabricated products worldwide. Crated or palletised delivery ensures safe arrival. Please contact us for an export quote.

Can I visit or speak to someone for advice?

Of course. Give us a call, send an enquiry, or visit by appointment. Whether you’re a designer, architect, tradesperson, or homeowner — our team is happy to advise.
