About the Employer

Fairdeal Fabrications has a long history within the industry and has been established as Fairdeal Fabrications Ltd since 1997 following the merger two industry stalwarts. Both respected and successful companies Fairdeal Engineering who started trading in 1968, were specialists in profiling and Lumsden grinding, and Welding Services had provided all aspects of specialised welding and fabrication since 1988. They came together in order to deliver a wider and more comprehensive service to a growing customer base.

Following the merger, Fairdeal moved location to the current site in Stockport, just 10 minutes from junction 24 of the M60.

Since then, Fairdeal has built an enviable reputation producing high quality fabrications with a quick, efficient turn around and delivering outstanding levels of customer service. Investment in the business, support staff and training has produced a team able to take on a diverse and wider ranging scope of projects that meet and even surpass customer expectation.

Fairdeal has had BS EN ISO 9001 quality status since 1999, providing additional reassurance to its customers that they will receive the best quality product from responsibly sourced materials with full traceability, which enables them to work within industries such as Rail, Defence and Aerospace, where these procedures and proof of resource origins are requisite.
