FAQs – Sheet Metal, Signage & Custom Fabrication

Metal Sheets Ltd does more than supply premium sheet metal — we design, cut, fabricate, finish and deliver complete metal 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, wall panels, engraved plaques, and custom signage. All items are made to order in copper, brass, zinc, stainless steel, aluminium, and mild/Corten steel, cut and finished in-house.

Do you only supply raw sheet metal?

No — while we supply high-quality sheet metal, we also provide complete fabrication and finishing services. Whether you need a single cut panel, a fabricated bar front, or a series of branded signs, we can design and manufacture to your brief.

Can you cut and shape metal to my design?

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

What finishes can you apply to metal?

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. See our patina finishes gallery.

Do you make custom metal signage and logos?

Yes. We create bespoke metal signs for retail, hospitality, and architecture — from engraved logos and raised lettering to patinated branding panels. Explore our metal signage.

Can you engrave my artwork or logo?

Absolutely. We offer rotary engraving, CNC routing, and laser engraving for plaques, panels, and large-format signs in brass, copper, aluminium, zinc, and stainless steel, with optional enamel infill or patina.

Do you offer patina services for customer-supplied items?

Yes. We provide a subcontract patina service for client-supplied pieces such as brass panels, copper sinks, or signage, letting you access our finishing expertise without outsourcing production.

What are your typical turnaround times?

We’ll confirm timescales during quoting and advise if express options are available.

Is there a minimum order value?

No. We handle everything from one-off prototypes to batch production runs for trade and design clients.

Do you deliver across the UK?

Yes — small items go by courier, larger pieces ship on pallets or via specialist carriers. You can also collect from our Liverpool workshop by appointment.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we export sheet metals and fabricated products worldwide. Orders are crated or palletised for protection. Contact us for an export quote.

Can I visit or speak to someone for advice?

Of course. You can call, email, or visit by appointment. Our team is happy to advise designers, architects, makers, and homeowners.

Where can I see examples of your previous work?
