Column moulds
- Open on hinges for easy demoulding
- Adjustable height, to cast columns of different lengths
Steel moulds for precast concrete, built in Somerset.
Since 1970 we have designed and made the moulds that precasters pour into: columns, beams, stairs, walls, tunnel segments and sea defences.

What do you need to cast?
The design and manufacture of steel moulds, for precast or in-situ elements, is a large part of what leaves our works. From CAD design through to manufacture, all under one roof.
Beam moulds
- Internal and external stopends lift out and reposition
- One mould, a range of beam sizes
Wall moulds
- Rotating top section, for corners at different angles
- Adjustable internal stopend to change the unit height

Out of the works
Moulds leaving for precasters in Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Liverpool, Leeds, Hull, Bristol and Exeter, and steelwork of every other kind.

Structural and bespoke engineering
Not everything we build is a mould. If it is steel and it is awkward, it is probably our sort of job.
Structural
We produce working drawings from your design, or build direct from your drawings, for a range of steel structures, in whatever finish the job calls for.
Bespoke
One-off products and machines, designed and made to solve a particular problem on your site or in your process.
Machining and repair
Turning, milling, drilling and tapping, and shaft reclamation work, in our own 300 square metre machine shop.
Send us a drawing
Tell us what you need to cast or build and attach a drawing if you have one. We will come back with a price and a lead time.
