High-Speed Drilling and Milling Solutions

Metal drilling is the process of creating accurate holes in metal components for assembly, fixing points or service openings. We use it to support structural steel, sheet metal and fabricated parts that need precise, repeatable holes.

We can drill a wide range of metals, including mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium, as well as other metals depending on the component and specification. We drill high-quality holes in a wide range of diameters.

Our drilling service is suitable for beams, channels, columns, T sections, square tubes, flat steel and angles.

Yes, we can support related processes such as countersinking, and tapping to create flush, threaded or assembly-ready holes.

Drilling gives a precise, clean hole with consistent sizing, making it ideal for bolt holes, service openings and threaded fixings where accuracy matters.

Yes, we regularly drill structural steel sections to project specifications, delivering finished, fabricated components ready for the next stage.

Yes, our drilling capability is designed to support efficient, accurate production, including programmed and automated work where required.

Yes, we can tap holes so bolts can screw directly into the material, which is useful for assembly, fixing and tight-seal applications.

Drilled metal parts are used across a wide variety of industries, including construction (structural steelwork and fabrication), automotive, renewables, defence and aerospace, energy (oil, gas and nuclear), and general engineering and infrastructure projects - anywhere pre-drilled, ready-to-assemble components help speed up on-site installation and reduce downstream labour.

ASD combines drilling services with our extensive metals processing and stockholding capability, so customers get sourced, drilled, ready-to-use parts in one place, so no need to juggle multiple suppliers. Our drilling service is built to support efficient production and reliable turnaround, helping keep fabrication and build programmes moving.
