Metal Laser Cutting for UK Manufacturers

Our metal laser cutting covers everything from thin sheet to 40mm plate, in steel, stainless, aluminium and specialist grades. For thicker work, our laser profiling service handles profile cutting of flat parts from plate up to 40mm thick. Send your drawings and we will cut to your exact spec, with full material traceability on every order. One supplier for cutting and bending, so you get finished parts faster.

Learn more about Durbar/Tread plate

Checker plate is a flat metal sheet that has raised diamonds on one face, this is to improve grip and reduce accidents. Checker plate is also known as tread plate, Durbar floor plate, diamond plate or Positive Grip Pattern (PGP) floor plate. The plate has a flat alternate face for securing to other surfaces.

The raised surface pattern of Durbar is extremely slip-resistant. It creates a self-draining surface making it easy to clean and corrosion resistant. Domestic and commercial applications for Durbar sheets include: commercial vehicles, safety platforms, containers, stairs and walkways.

Known as 5 bar tread plate, Aluminium Diamond Plate and Aluminium five bar, offers excellent grip and corrosion resistance which makes it very suitable as flooring in industrial buildings, food processing, vehicle manufacture, shipbuilding and marine equipment.

Stainless Steel Checker plate has all the strength and durability of mild steel while having far superior corrosion resistance.

It can be cut, drilled, or welded. The multi-directional raised pattern aids drainage and increases grip in all directions, making it easy to position.

Maximum Sizes

The maximum sheet size for most materials is 3000mm x 1500mm, a 10mm border is required around the outside, so the maximum part size we can cut is 2980mm x 1480mm. There are exceptions to this rule – these are marked in the materials tables.

I needed a small part for my boat to help smooth the launch and recovery of the spinnaker. It involved tapered and bent marine grade stainless to my own design and measurements. No problem for Lasered, despite my hand draw design, they produced a CAD version and the part 👍 which arrived really well packed. Now I’ve got to fit it! They kept me informed on progress and were very helpful.

I’d just like to extend my thanks to Lasered Components for doing a perfect job for me. It was only a small job but I literally could not fault the work. We were in a right mess following the replacement of a troublesome shower mixer valve for a different one with a completely different shape and design, this left a hole in the tiled shower area where the old valve was. We could no longer get the tiles as they’re no longer manufactured so replacing the tile was not an option. The only solution we came up with was to have an escutcheon plate made for the shower mixer – a quick google and found a local company - after sending Lasered components the dimensions I wasn’t sure how it would look when in place but at the price they quoted it was worth a gamble. I’m glad we took that option because it looks brilliant. Thanks to team Lasered. You smashed it.

Really appreciated the helpful and quick responses to my enquiry. As a lettering artist I have only used laser cutting once before, several years ago, so I was reassured that my files were correct before production went ahead. Delivery was unbelievably fast with my pieces really well packed. I hope to use this service again.

Thank you for the 5 star service we at Relay Technologies experienced with Lasered Components. Not only were they super transparent and helpful (might I add patient) throughout the onboarding and quotation process but the parts themselves arrived in half the time stated and at an exceptional finish and quality. The parts exactly fit the spec and we are thrilled with the parts we received.

Packaging & Delivery

What we do differently at Lasered Components

 

Our laser cutting processes cut sheet metal quickly and accurately, which keeps production times short and costs down, and we pass those savings on to our customers.

Our team reviews our lean working methods at every stage, from quote to final quality check, so lead times stay short and consistent without cutting corners on quality. We aim for above 96% on-time delivery every month.

Laser cutting handles a wide range of materials and grades, including stainless steel, aluminium, copper, RaeX, Corten and brass, which makes it suitable for applications across a wide range of industries.

We work with trusted material suppliers to source the right material for each job, and we hold between 500 and 700 tonnes of stock on site at any time, so your orders are not held up waiting for material.

Our laser cutting technology cuts intricate designs and complex patterns with minimal error. Our Estimators and Auditors get to know every part of each project, so the small details get the same attention from us as they do from you.

Laser cutting produces clean, burr-free edges that need minimal finishing, giving you components that meet strict quality standards. We provide full traceability on our materials, with full supplier documentation available.

By appointment, we offer a full tour of our Braintree, Essex site, with a hands-on look at production. See our accreditations.

Nesting is the process of placing multiple parts on a single sheet of material, and sheet utilisation means making the most of every sheet by positioning those parts in the best possible way. Together they cut material waste and make laser cutting more efficient.

We combine high-end nesting software with experienced eyes to get the most from every sheet. That makes production more sustainable and lets us pass the savings on to you. To learn more, find out about our technology.

Continuous improvement & training

Continuous improvement and staff training are at the core of how we work, because we invest in our team as well as our technology. Clear processes for sharing knowledge internally keep our approach consistent for every customer and our operation lean.

Training keeps our team up to date with the latest laser cutting technology and techniques, which means better quality parts and a better experience for our customers.

Every project comes with clear communication, transparency and regular updates, so you always know where your order stands.
