Quality Craftmanship
At Perfect Fabrications, we specialize in the design and fabrication of one-off parts, as well as small and large batch production. Our capabilities include design services, MIG, TIG, and stick welding, drilling, tapping, cutting, finishing, steel folding, and inserting.
Highly Skilled Welders
With this comprehensive range of processes, there’s little we can’t handle. We work with a variety of materials, including stainless steel, aluminium, mild steel, galvanized steel, and brass. To complete the package, we also offer a full assembly service.
Metal Fabrication
Fabrication involves a range of processes, including welding, cutting, grinding, and sanding. While metal fabrication refers to the comprehensive procedure that a component undergoes, welding constitutes an integral aspect of this overall process.
Welding occurs when two metal pieces are joined through the application of heat. This heat generates a weld pool that solidifies upon cooling, forming the joint that unites the two pieces. Typically, this joint is stronger than the original metal.
TYPES OF WELDING
There are several welding techniques available, such as MIG (Metal Inert Gas), MAG (Metal Active Gas), TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), and synergic welding. Each welding method serves distinct applications and offers unique benefits.
Our fabricators are certified to weld a broad spectrum of material thicknesses in both stainless steel and mild steel. They have undergone a stringent testing process conducted by an external certification body to confirm our compliance with this standard.

Tungsten inert gas welding (TIG welding) is the process of welding using electricity to melt and join pieces of metal together. It combines an electrode, which heats the metal, and a gas (typically Argon) which protects the weld puddle from airborne contaminants. It was initially invented in the 1940s as a better way to weld magnesium and aluminium together; it is now a widely used practice due to its versatility, cleanliness, and minimal finishing requirements.
Metal Inert Gas Welding (MIG Welding) is the most common type of welding. It is an arc welding process where a continuous solid wire electrode is fed through a welding gun into the weld pool. This is what brings the two base materials together, forming a join. MIG welding also uses a shielding gas to protect the weld pool from airborne contaminants.
The three main types of welding are stick welding also known as Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding and Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding.
The difference between the two is how the arc is used. In MIG welding, a wire feed constantly moves through the gun to create the spark; this melts to form the weld. In TIG welding, long, handheld rods are manually fed into the weld puddle whilst the electrical current is varied with either a touch mounted control or a foot pedal.
We work hard to ensure that our welders are protected from harmful fumes. We use extraction LEVs at every station and have air masks available for each welder. Extraction LEVs (Local Exhaust Ventilation) capture hazardous fumes and remove them from the entire workplace, keeping the individual welder safe and the whole workshop. Air masks protect the individual welder from dangerous fumes by stopping the fumes from entering their personal breathing space.
