The best metal fabricators in Leeds deliver top-quality parts on time!
I may not have a PhD or a lab coat, but even I can tell half the Earth would halt without metal fabrication. Cars wouldn’t roll, planes wouldn’t fly, and almost every building would be one gust from falling.
And it’s not just the large-scale sectors that’ll suffer either. See, the chair in your living room or the watch ticking on your wrist most likely came from cutting and bending metal.
Not every bloke with a welding mask can fabricate metal efficiently, though. That’s why if you need A-tier metalwork, it’s best to ring the maestros, especially the tested names we reviewed down there.
How much does metal fabrication cost in Leeds?
The cost of metal fabrication in Leeds differs from service to service, with welding often priced at £60 to £120 per hour and laser cutting averaging £60 per hour (usually £1 per minute). Complexity and scope usually dictate the final price.
1. Troydale Fabrications Ltd
Address: Cedar Terrace, Armley
Contact Detail: 0113 279 5714
Operating Hours:
- Mon to Fri – 8 am to 5 pm
- Sat – 8 am to 1 pm
Troydale is well-regarded for steelwork (it’s even in our top steel fabricators list). Their 1990 opening and product quality have something to do with that, especially if we’re talking gates and railings.
Communication is also ace. A few teammates requested a quote via the website, and Wayne, the director, rocked up within two days to take some measurements and give them a price for free.
That said, it’s efficiency that gets most folks coming back. It usually takes Troydale 3–5 days (sometimes even quicker) to complete a project, with weather and temps rarely mattering.
Quality doesn’t come cheap, though. While not sky-high, their prices aren’t the lowest around.
In addition, they’re steel through and through. That’s a snag if you want to fabricate something else, like aluminium.
The good news is you can book Troydale’s punctual and friendly team for various solutions. Think repairs, alterations, priming, painting, and onsite welding.
Courteous and Professional
Wayne and his team have done a fantastic job with our new gates. From initial survey with Wayne, who was very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and polite, to his installation team Dave and Wellington who worked tirelessly to install the gates. Again, helpful courteous and professional, the fit and finish are superb, they cleaned up thoroughly after themselves and left the place spotless. I would highly recommend Troydale Fabrications for all your gates and fabrication work. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Friendly and Helpful
Wayne d the team have been incredibly friendly and helpful from the first message sent, right through to the work being completed. Our gate and railings were ready sooner than we had anticipated and we’re fitted within a few weeks of the initial measuring. They were very competitive with there pricing and the standard of work and attention to detail is second to none. We can’t recommend this family run business enough! Thanks guys!

2. PC Fabrications
Address: Unit 24 Brown Ave, Gelderd Rd, Holbeck
Contact Detail: 0113 241 0007
Operating Hours: Mon to Fri – 7:30 am to 3:45 pm
If you need shorter lead times and a surgical approach, PC Fabrications is worth checking. This one houses a high-spec Bystronic 5.2kW CO₂, which is capable of precisely cutting through mild steel, galvanised steel, aluminium, stainless steel, and Zintec.
The laser cutting machine also eliminates the need for deburring and finishing (a perk most of these laser cutters also have). That’s sweet for boosting efficiency and lowering expenses.
They’re especially well-rated for bespoke signage work. Clients love the weather-resistant and lightweight products, some even staying for over 10 years because of that perk.
We can’t ignore the weekend closure, though. A handful of their competitors run until Saturday.
You’ll want to plan ahead as well. PC Fabrications’ positive rep attracts several clients, so getting a slot can get tricky.
On the upside, they’re good at answering questions and replying fast, chiefly Ryan and Julie. Both are often praised for providing regular updates and design inputs.
Very Clear Communication
Absolutely fantastic service, I dealt with Ryan Shaw and from initial contact to completion of my order Ryan was brilliant. Ryan was incredibly helpful with every part of the process, very clear communication and kept me updated of options and progress. I will definitely be sending them more work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Thank you Ryan, top class!

Delighted with the Outcome
Thank you so much for a great job. Ryan was so friendly and efficient. We were delighted with the outcome. Although it was a very small job, Ryan did not hesitate and was incredibly helpful.

3. ML Gates and Railings
Address: 87 Pontefract Ln
Contact Detail: 07939 815617
Operating Hours:
- Mon to Thu – 7 am to 8 pm
- Fri – 7 am to 7 pm
- Sat – 7 am to 5 pm
ML Gates and Railings has over 20 years in the industry, and as the name gives away, gates and railings are their main gig.
Specifically, they craft and install aluminium, security, and electric gates/railings, all bespoke and practical, with palisade and paladin designs as the most raved about.
Repair and maintenance solutions are on the cards as well. The former’s lead time is incredibly short, often within a day.
Price-wise, they’re one of the most competitive in Leeds, and you can typically count on them to honour quotes and deadlines. That applies to both domestic and commercial projects.
Slots don’t stay open long, though. In fact, we’ve stumbled upon a few clients who didn’t get a response due to ML’s packed schedule.
They may also not appeal to those after different projects, given the heavy focus on fencing.
Very Hardworking
Used ML Services a few times now and every time their work has been of high quality & products have been great!!
James is honest and very hardworking, he is very trust worthy, reliable and super punctual. nothings too much trouble, very knowledgeable and helpful, Couldn’t ask for better!

4. Wharfedale Fabrications Ltd
Address: Unit 12, Farm, Kirk Deighton
Contact Detail: 07748 082614
Operating Hours: Mon to Fri – 8 am to 4:30 pm
Wharfedale Fabrications is a safe pick for architectural metalwork. After all, they’ve been designing, fabricating, and installing components for gates, fences, balconies, and handrails for over 5 years now.
There’s no cap on what they can take on, too. Our interviewees, for instance, were residential and commercial property owners.
The problem is, you can’t book them on Saturdays. Some of our picks don’t have that restriction.
Wharfedale isn’t the biggest team either. You’ll normally get Dan sorting out the measurements and fitting.
However, that setup has its perks. The service, for one, is properly tailored; Dan personally handles the comms, and he’ll listen to your design suggestions or revisions.
He’ll also happily take on-site fabrication requests, even if it’s for a construction site. If you need emergency repairs or custom adjustments directly on a property, that feature can minimise downtime.
Brilliant
So pleased with the hand railings Dan made and fitted for my mum. From start to finish he was brilliant. The finished product is exactly what we wanted and we would not hesitate to recommend the company. We would certainly use them again in the future. Thankyou.

Would Definitely Recommend Him
We wanted a metal front gate and fence panel fitting. Dan measured, designed, manufactured and then fitted them. The work was perfect. I would definitely recommend him.

5. Keith Lomas Fabrications
Address: Home Farm, Scholes
Contact Detail: 0113 217 0370
Operating Hours: Mon to Fri – 8:30 am to 4:30 pm
With over 20 years of experience in steel, aluminium, and composite fabrication, Keith Lomas didn’t crack a spot here out of luck.
Anybody who’s had them do metal gates and railings knows exactly what we’re talking about. Their work often lasts, thanks to the weather-resistant coating they apply to products.
Paying via Ideal4Finance is also possible. That allows clients to spread costs over 12–24 months for zero interest, and most competitors don’t come with that option.
Past that, Keith’s lot is easy to work with. While they provide suggestions or improvements, your ideas won’t go unheard.
The best part for me, though, is their pricing. It’s fair enough for Leeds, and they’re good at keeping to deadlines.
Unfortunately, Keith Lomas halts operations on Saturdays, which limits flexibility a bit.
They also mostly deal with railings and gates. Say you need furniture or balconies, other picks are a better shout.
Couldn’t Be Happier with the Results
What a fantastic experience from start to finish! We contacted Keith Lomas, following a friends recommendation, to fabricate and install a new gate for our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.
From the first consultation, they listened carefully to all of my ideas. They took my initial design and made some brilliant improvements that truly enhanced the final gate.
The installation was probably one of the most challenging. The old gate posts were dug so deep they could have reached Australia, but the team preserved.
A huge thank you to Conor and all the team at Keith Lomas for being so friendly, professional, and easy to deal with. We highly recommend them to anyone needing a new gate!
