Raymond Sussex
Metal Fabrication
Philip fabricated a stainless steel support bracket to my design to be installed on a sail boat. The quality of fabrication and finish was excellent. It was a pleasure to work with on this project. And his other works are very impressive too. More...
What do you love most about your job?
Whether is it making my own sculpture or fabricating metalworks for others, the process of creating something from a raw or stock material, and seeing it grow and evolve.
The magic of welding!
Achieving a high level finish
Seeing the finished article installed
What inspired you to start your own business?
Being placed with an established metal artist when I was at university - I had paid work experience with him that taught me a lot about sculpture and metal fabrication. This changed my direction and led to starting my own practice as soon as I left University.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have a very particular attention to detail and produce very neat metalwork.
When fabricating for others I use the same exacting standards as I would for my own work.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Fabrication cannot be delivered online, but project proposals and costing can, as well as concept design and simple CAD drawings.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I work alone so can easily work and keep distance from others. If a larger project requires more people I am strict on my polices to keep distance, wearing masks and washing hands.
I ensure distance is kept when accepting deliveries and am careful in my general life to follow guidelines.
I always carry a mask and hand gel.

MIG Welder
I am an experienced MIG welder, with City & Guilds accreditation.
I have been MIG welding for 12 years, using my skills to fabricate a range of things from metal sculpture and theatre sets to gates, railings and bench work.
I am currently studying an EAL Lvl 2 Welding Engineering course which covers MIG, MMA, TIG and oxyfuel welding as well as oxyacetylene and plasma cutting. The course will lead to codings in these welding processes.
Flame Cutting and Brazing
Use of oxyacetylene to flame cut steel. Cutting freehand profiles, artwork components and sculptures. Brazing uses the same process to join steel and other metals together. Joining metal components with silicon bronze.
