After an eye watering estimate off the firm I normally use I reckon it's time to test the water with some others. Anyone have any recommendations to try?
Near to me there is mostly the WEC group, but after poor responses I tried a company in Burnley called Richards Sheet Metal Ltd.
Much better response and even for a one off sheet job 8ft by 4 ft, I felt I was dealt with very well.
You can but try them. I sent a dxf in to them, they have nesting software there as well for best utilisation of a sheet, if you are only wanting a small part sheet then it will be a suck it and see I would assume unless they are cutting from the same type and have left over space on a sheet?
The quote I had will have included designing the cut I wanted. I can knock up a dxf from a CAD package if needed as it's not complex as a design and the firm I use only charge for the portion of the sheet used. It was triple what I had estimated which is why I'm looking for some other prices. Thanks for the tip.
