We don’t just make awning brackets. Customers are realising we can make almost anything that solves a fixing problem — from roof-mounted pergola brackets to special one-off commissions — designed, fabricated and delivered painted within about four weeks.

Roof-mounted pergola brackets on the bench — base plates, U-channel uprights and clean weld joints, ready for paint.

Problem-solving hardware, not catalogue-only

Standard spreader and gutter ranges still do most awning jobs. When the wall, roof or structure doesn’t fit the catalogue, we design the bracket around the load path: plate size, stud layout, channel geometry and finish colour matched to the job.

One-offs and short runs, same workshop

Special commissions often land as small batches: stud plates, box-section arms, non-standard mounts. Same laser, press, weld and paint route as our awning hardware — just geometry written for the problem in front of us.

Designed and delivered painted in about four weeks

Typical path: photos or dimensions in → drawing sign-off → fabricate → paint → ship. Lead time is usually around four weeks painted, depending on complexity and finish. Trade and public use the same workshop.

If you’ve got a roof mount, pergola post, odd cassette or a problem the catalogue doesn’t cover, send photos or a sketch — or call the workshop on 0121 798 1596.
