About us

Commitment to Quality

Quality sits at the heart of everything we do, from initial design through to fabrication and installation. Our Assessment Body Certifications are not simply certificates on the wall; they underpin our processes and provide assurance that every project is delivered to recognised industry standards.

James Engineering holds the following accreditations:

• BS EN 1090-1– Structural Steel Factory Production Control Execution Class 4
• BS EN ISO 3834-2 – Comprehensive Quality Requirements for Fusion Welding
• EN 13084-7 – Free-standing chimneys and steel liners (cylindrical steel fabrications)
• BS EN ISO 9001: – Quality Management

These credentials demonstrate our commitment to controlled procedures, full traceability and consistent workmanship. Clients can be confident that their structures are designed, fabricated and installed to stringent safety, performance and compliance requirements.

Fabrication Facilities

As a leading specialist steel fabricator in the East Midlands, James Engineering operates four dedicated manufacturing shops with extensive lifting capacity and modern equipment.

• Workshop 1
  Measuring 30 m x 19 m and equipped with a 10‑ton overhead crane, Workshop 1 is set up for efficient handling and fabrication of a wide range of steel components.
• Workshop 2
  At 38 m x 13 m, Workshop 2 benefits from both 10‑ton and 6‑ton overhead cranes, providing flexibility for varied project sizes and configurations.
• Workshop 3
  The largest facility, 57 m x 18 m, is fitted with 25‑ton and 7.5‑ton overhead cranes to accommodate heavy and oversized fabrications. This workshop also houses our submerged arc welding (SAW) capability, combining power, precision and productivity for large weld runs.
• Workshop 4
  A dedicated stainless-steel workshop measuring 30 m x 27 m, physically separated to remove any risk of cross‑contamination with mild steel and maintain the integrity of stainless fabrications.

All fabrication shops operate in line with the regulation EN 1090-1 Execution Class 4 requirements, supporting consistent quality and safety across every project.

Welding Capability

James Engineering offers a comprehensive range of welding processes, including MAG, MIG, TIG, MMA and SMAW -submerged arc welding, enabling the team to select the most appropriate technique for each material and application. Skilled welders work within controlled procedures to deliver strong, consistent welds that meet both design and code requirements.

From one‑off fabrications to large multi‑tonne structures, the company’s production capability is geared towards delivering high‑quality steelwork on time and in line with client expectations.

Customer Focus

Customer satisfaction is central to the way James Engineering operates. Projects are managed with clear communication, collaborative problem‑solving and a focus on buildability and safe installation. By combining robust quality systems with a family‑owned ethos and practical engineering experience, James Engineering aims to deliver steel fabrication services that not only meet but exceed client expectations.
