ABL Fabrications

Steel Fabrication, Welding & Blacksmith Services

At ABL Fabrications Welding Engineers Ltd, we provide steel fabrication and welding services for commercial, construction and domestic projects. Based in Falkirk, our team works across Scotland and throughout the UK, with workshop and mobile capabilities for both light and heavy gauge metal fabrication.

Alongside larger structural and commercial work, our steel fabricators manufacture a broad range of bespoke metalwork. This includes gates, railings, handrails, balconies, security grilles and fencing, as well as automated gates and specialist projects. Our coded welders also provide mobile welding and fabrication for on-site repairs, plant repairs and projects where work needs to be completed away from the workshop.

Established in 2002, ABL Fabrications has developed from a gates, railings and general blacksmith business into a company capable of delivering a varied range of steel fabrication projects. Every job is different, so we take time to understand the specification, site requirements and intended use before work begins. Whether the project involves structural steelwork for a commercial development, architectural steelwork for a bespoke design or smaller-scale metal fabrication, our aim is to provide a high-quality result suited to the job.

If you are looking for steel fabrication or welding support for a project, speak to ABL Fabrications. We can discuss your requirements, review the plans or specification and advise on the way to take the project forward. From one-off bespoke items to larger structural projects, our team can provide the fabrication expertise needed from enquiry to completion.

We specialise in structural steelwork, bespoke fabrication, commercial projects, wrought iron gates and railings, architectural metalwork and blacksmithing.

Our History

ABL Fabrications was established in 2002 by our current director and owner, who was 24 years old at the time.

After starting the business, we were introduced by the local business enterprise to the Prince’s Scottish Youth Business Trust (PSYBT). As the business was still in its early stages, the support provided by the Prince’s Trust proved invaluable.

Following the completion of a business plan and a series of interviews, the business successfully met the criteria for a Prince’s Trust small business loan, together with ongoing business support during the early years.
