Custom manufactured sheet metal work in Hampshire UK

Wednesday, August 27th, 2025

For four decades, V and F Sheet Metal have been making bespoke components right here in the UK. They offer a friendly, local touch that many larger operations just can’t match. On top of that, they’ve built deep expertise across lighting, heating, audio and electronics sectors. Their work feels personal, and they truly care.

Let’s dive into why choosing V and F Sheet Metal for your next custom manufactured sheet metal project makes so much sense.

Precision CNC punching

To start with, they bring real experience. Over the past 40 years they’ve crafted custom manufactured components for lighting, heating, audio and electronics industries. That long history gives them an edge. They know how tricky designs can be, and they nail consistency every single time. They’ve seen, tested and refined the full process, so your job proceeds smoothly.

Even better, their toolkit is impressive. For example, they use a Trumpf 3030 3 kW fibre laser cutting system, which gives precise, clean cuts across various thicknesses. Plus, their CNC bending tools—such as the Safan e-Brake and Trumpf 7036—ensure that bends are accurate and repeatable.

Also, they don’t stop there. They combine laser cutting, CNC punching, CNC bending, welding and roll forming all under one roof. That synergy saves your time because you don’t need to liaise with multiple suppliers. Everything happens in one place, which is efficient and smooth.

Moreover, they work with materials that suit your application—from aluminium and steel to stainless steel. On top of that, they can apply finishes like powder coating, wet painting, zinc plating and screen printing. So, whether you are aiming for functionality or flair, they’ve got you covered.

You’ll also love how flexible they are. Whether you need a quick prototype or a long production run, they handle it all equally well. That’s because they have modern tooling and deep know-how. Plus, they support you from design to finished piece with their in-house team.

Another neat perk? They do rolling and forming too. Their machines can shape curved components up to a metre long—which is perfect for things like light housings, curved heating units or speaker grilles. This makes them especially valuable when you want something beyond flat metal pieces.

They are based in Fareham, Hampshire. That means if your business is anywhere in southern England, you’ll enjoy fast turnaround times and easy communication. Being nearby lets you stay involved and tweak things quickly, without delays.

Because they’ve spent forty solid years serving UK industries, they’ve refined their customer service too. They are approachable, responsive and practical. When you send them drawings or CAD files, they get right to it. That attention means fewer surprises and smoother delivery.

Even though I’ve already said it, it’s worth noting again—they specialise in manufacturing custom manufactured components tailored to your needs. And they’ve done that for forty years. That long track record just speaks volumes.

You’ll also appreciate how they support local industry. By choosing them, you keep production within the UK, and you support local jobs. That matters, and it feels good.

So, in short: V and F Sheet Metal make custom manufactured sheet metal parts, using great kit like laser cutters and CNC benders. They do everything under one roof. They handle small or big volumes. They work in lighting, heating, audio and electronics. They include forming tools for curves. They are based in Hampshire, so they stay close to you. And, after forty years, they know their craft.

In the end, picking V and F means you get reliable, streamlined results. You’ll save time, cut hassle, and work with a friendly, experienced UK-based team. It truly feels like dealing with a partner, not just a supplier.
