Recommended SS fabricators in Kent/Essex

[andybussell]

I need some stainless steel brackets made to carry curved track for a newly rigged self-tacking staysail. The track is concave upward on a cambered coachroof.

I'm looking for a quality ss fabricator. I'm Medway based so prefer a local company as I'd like to have them visit to measure up, but anywhere within a couple of hours would be of interest.

Thanks for replies in advance.

Mr Stainless at levington marina on the Orwell is a top fabricator, may be a little too far but a phone call may make it worth the journey.. mrstainless.co.uk

There's a place called advanced fabricators or something like that, about 3 buildings away from the Pirate's cave.

They re-welded and reconstructed my alloy gooseneck for a drink, and seemed friendly and helpful... I think they do SS...

There is one in Faversham,in the Upper Brents. I'm planning to drop my snapped stanchion in there,because it is the closest ss welder to the boat. They say £30 per hour,so hopefully it will be a tenner for 3" of weld!

That cantankerous old b at Mr Stainless can be a pita, but can't recommend him too highly. The best for bespoke stuff. I even have some kit he made out here in Florida!
