What is a metalworker?

Metalwork involves shaping, forming and forging metal. Tools and machinery are used to transform metal into various objects – including tools and machinery!

Welding and fabrication is an integral part of metalwork. Tools like hammers, grinders and welding machines help cut, join, and shape metal objects.

What jobs can a metalworker help with?

What metals do metalworkers use?

Metalworkers use all kinds of materials, including aluminium, bronze, copper, brass, and stainless steel. 

Specialised types of metalworkers include blacksmiths, who work with wrought iron and steel. 

How long does metalwork take?

This depends on the size of your project. A simple welding job can be done very quickly, usually just a couple of hours. 

However, a very large project - such as building a metal outdoor staircase - can take several weeks from start to finish. 

How much does metalworking cost?

According to our figures, the average cost for a small welding job is £125. At the other end of the scale, the average cost of a metal spiral staircase is £7,950. 

The exact price you pay will depend on your project, as well as a number of factors, such as the skill and experience level of your chosen metalworker, the materials you choose, and how complex the job is.
