At Coombes, we use the latest technology to ensure every job is done with precision and care. When you choose us, you're getting top-quality results, every time.
We also offer custom metal laser cutting and fabrication for classic cars, the motor racing industry, drifting, and jet boats –
we’ll fabricate anything, no job too big or small. We also supply sheets and off-cuts in galvanised steel, aluminium, stainless steel, and copper. Send us your drawing, and we’ll turn your bespoke ideas into reality.
We’re always happy to chat through your project – whether it’s big, small, or something a bit different. Walk-ins are always welcome – we love when people drop in to talk through their ideas in person.
A Tradition of Dynamic Excellence
It’s been over 65 years since Coombes opened their doors in 1957, and our tradition of delivering sheetmetal fabrication excellence is as strong as ever. In fact, that’s our strength. Just like the old timers, we’ll turn our hand to anything, from extensive commercial runs to individual bespoke projects, giving every job the attention it deserves and ensuring our customers always get the best results.
Owned and operated by Cantabrians, we’re proud of our exceptionally talented team, all of them highly qualified and experienced. Artisans of their craft, our people are problem solvers, practical thinkers, skilled operators, creative designers, uncompromising perfectionists and all-round good people!
However, just because we serve up old-fashioned excellence, doesn’t mean we deliver it the old-school way! Instead, you’ll find the latest technology on our factory floor. Our engineering capabilities are extensive and our thoughtful and planned approach is backed by inhouse state-of-the-art equipment, ranging from the latest sheet and tube laser cutters to the fine precision of high-tech laser welding.
Passionate about what we do, call Coombes today for the very best of contemporary excellence and traditional values.

Wonderful service from start to end. Cannot fault anything. Andi went out of her way to make me feel understood from the very first phone call. It was a pleasure working with you for my specific aluminum fabrication. I arrive to collect the stand the very next day after ordering which was a fantastic turn-around, only to find out that it wouldn't fit in my car. These amazing folks delivered it to me to help me out. Incredible service team!. I'd give you 6 stars if i could 🙂

A+ Customer service! I had a difficult situation, one of our computer mounts started to bend and needed rewelding. I didn't have much experience in this area of welding and didn't how things go but on the phone the receptionist was really friendly and made me felt at ease. It was such a small issue that I almost thought it wasn’t worth getting someone to fix and considered just living with it. But Coombes were very pleasant to deal with, and they managed to repair it quickly and the welding was great — everything was sorted by the afternoon. They’ll definitely be my go-to in the future, and I’ll be happy to recommend them to friends and family.

Unbeatable service! Went in with an unexpected project that needed completion within a week for my son’s hospital visit and the team were able to pull together and get the project done in the time frame required. Friendly staff that were happy to work with me to achieve my goal!

They helped us in a difficult situation. The side mirror of our car was stolen, and there was no suitable replacement part available. So the mirror mount had to be welded. Within 24 hours, we got help here and they found the perfect solution to our problem! Thank you so much!

Excellent service - I had a very small job (broken lawnmower handle) and was worried I wouldn't find somewhere that would bother to take the job. Coombes fixed it quickly and at a great price!

These guys have been amazingly helpful, despite my annoying questions regarding my project they never try to rush me through or fob me off. Their wonderful receptionist is a joy to deal with and actually follows through when she says she'll call you back with some detail!! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to ANYONE in need of any metalwork, no matter how big or small the job. They will be my only stop for my future projects.

As a small-project person whose skills stop short of TIG welding, it's great to discover Coombes willing to make time for small one-off jobs. Quality service, with a welcoming smile. Thank you.
