What we do
Hickman Engineering provides comprehensive mechanical engineering, mobile welding, and bespoke fabrication services across the UK.
From 24/7 emergency breakdown engineering to precision CNC machining, line boring, and thermal lancing, we deliver robust solutions that save you both time and money.
We specialise in keeping industries including marine, ports, construction, and FMCG, in smooth running operation. Backed by our transparent 24/7 Flat Rate Promise and a rapid 90-minute local response time, we confidently tackle the complex, high-risk projects that other firms turn away.
Our Engineering Services:
Precision Traditional Machining Specialists
We manufacture bespoke components from steel, aluminium, bronze, and plastics. Using precision turning, milling, and grinding, we deliver fine limit machining and batch produce quality finished items.
Leading Specialists In Thermal Lancing
When standard cutting fails, we deploy thermal lancing. Using pressurised oxygen, we safely slice through reinforced concrete and seized pins at temperatures exceeding 3,000°C for the impossible jobs.
Bespoke Fittings & On-Site Fabrication
We provide precision structural steel processing and CNC machining. From custom modifications on Universal Beams to on-site drilling and bespoke excavator brackets, we engineer solutions to your exact specifications.
Decades Of Experience
Move from reactive breakdowns to planned preventative maintenance. We take over all major and minor repairs for marine vessels and port equipment, ensuring Lloyds compliance and reducing costly downtime.
90 Minute On-Site Guarantee Within 20 Miles
We offer a 24/7 rapid emergency breakdown response. We repair heavy plant machinery, refurbish hydraulic cylinders, overhaul marine engines, and fix industrial gearboxes to keep your operations moving.
Return Worn Bores To OEM Specifications
We offer mobile precision line boring without weak sleeve inserts. We weld and re-bore worn pivot points on cranes, excavators, and marine ramps in-situ to exact OEM dimensions.
Custom Metal Fabrication Specialists
We offer comprehensive custom metal fabrication. Our team manufactures structural steel beams, ramps, vessel guards, and bespoke infrastructure components tailored to the construction, marine, and FMCG sectors.
3D Modelling & Reverse Engineering
From rough sketches to reverse-engineering broken components, our in-house CAD team creates precise 2D drawings and 3D models to ensure exact specifications for your custom fabrication projects.
Certified Welding Experts
We provide 24/7 coded mobile welding, including MIG, TIG, and MMA. From emergency breakdowns and structural beams to high-pressure marine pipework, we ensure compliant repairs across all environments.
Manufacturing for Obsolete Components
Our in-house CAD team reverse-engineers and CNC machines bespoke, obsolete, or hard-to-find components from scratch, providing rapid aftermarket replacements to keep your operations running.
