// about us

Built to respond. Equipped to deliver.

Hurstbourne Forge is an Andover fabrication business combining highly responsive service with continual investment in modern machinery and bespoke software, so work can be quoted accurately and manufactured quickly from first drawing to finished part.

Made under one roof in Andover

Most metalwork passes through three or four suppliers before it's finished — a laser cutter, a fabricator, a welder, a coater — each adding lead time and a chance for things to slip. We brought the whole chain in-house. Our CNC fibre laser, press brakes, welding bays and powder-coating line all sit in the same unit, run by the same team, to the same standard.

That means tighter tolerances, shorter lead times and a single point of contact from drawing to dispatch — whether you need one bracket or a full production run.

Who we work with

We supply trade, industry and the public — from engineers and installers who need replacement parts fast, to manufacturers who want a reliable production partner, to homeowners buying from our own range of metal homeware and garden pieces.

Everything we make is built on the same shop floor, by people who care about getting it right.

Why work with Hurstbourne Forge?

Responsiveness is designed into the business—from the first accurate reply to the last inspection before dispatch.

Everything under one roof

Cut, bend, insert, weld and powder coat in one unit, with fewer supplier handovers.

Fast, honest turnaround

We plan around the real required-by date and tell you clearly what is achievable.
