Mechanical engineering work on machinery at SK Metal Works

Service Overview

Engineering help that solves the problem in front of you.

When a machine breaks down, wears out or no longer suits the job, you need someone who understands both the engineering and the fabrication. We look at what the equipment needs to do, then design and build a fix that lasts.

From replacing a worn part to modifying a machine for a new process, we can model the change in 3D, fabricate the parts and fit them, so you deal with one team the whole way through.

What’s included

  • Inspection of the problem
  • Practical design options
  • 3D modelling where needed
  • Custom part fabrication
  • Fitting and adjustment
  • Ongoing repair support

What We Can Build

Mechanical work for plant, machinery and equipment.

Typical mechanical engineering jobs we take on for industrial and commercial clients.

Machinery repairs

Worn, cracked or damaged machine parts repaired or rebuilt to get you running again.

Equipment modifications

Changes to existing equipment so it suits a new product, process or layout.

Custom replacement parts

Parts made to replace items that are worn out, obsolete or hard to source.

Mounts & frames for equipment

Bases, frames and mounts that hold motors, pumps and machines securely.

Conveyors & handling

Chutes, hoppers, conveyor frames and handling equipment built to suit your flow.

Prototype & improvement work

New ideas and improvements developed, modelled and built as working parts.

Built To Spec

Engineered to work, built to last.

How we approach every mechanical engineering job.

Understand the cause

We look at why a part failed or what the machine needs, not just the symptom.

Design a practical fix

Solutions are planned around strength, access, maintenance and your budget.

Fit and test

Parts are fitted and checked so the equipment runs as it should before we hand back.

How It Works

From problem to working machine.

A clear process for mechanical repairs and engineering work.

  1. Describe the issue

    Tell us what’s happening with the machine and send photos if you can.

  2. Inspect & plan

    We look at the equipment and suggest practical repair or design options.

  3. Make the parts

    Parts are modelled if needed, then fabricated in our workshop.

  4. Fit & hand back

    We fit the parts, check everything works and hand the equipment back.

What types of machinery can you work on?
We work on a wide range of industrial, manufacturing and plant equipment. Tell us about your machine and we’ll let you know how we can help.
Can you make a replacement for a part that’s no longer available?
Often, yes. We can measure the old part or work from drawings, model it in 3D and fabricate a replacement.
Can you modify our equipment for a new process?
Yes. We can design and build modifications so existing equipment suits a new product, process or layout.
Do you come to our site?
Yes. We can inspect equipment and fit parts on site, and bring work back to our workshop when needed.
Can you help us improve an existing design?
Yes. If a part keeps failing or a machine could work better, we can suggest and build practical improvements.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos and a short description of the problem through the quote form, or call us to talk it through.
