Welcome to the Essex Steam site Repairs and Engineering page
With years of experience in steam, marine and agricultural engineering we are set up to mend or make most parts. We have comprehensive machining facilities (centre lathes, capstans, horizontal and vertical mills) and fabrication facilities (ironworkers, shears, oxy-acetylene welding, TIG welding, MIG welding, MMA welding, EDM diesinking, gas and plasma cutting, guillotine, 60 ton pressbrake and cut-off saws). We also have lifting and mechanical handling equipment to deal with all problems up to Traction Engine size.
Our staff are skilled and experienced and we can offer welding to boiler inspection requirements.
Our casting facilities are temporarily out of action, but you can see how the process works here
