Step 1 · Use
How many animals, and what size.
What we make, in detail
Four lines, all sized and specified before anything is cut.
Program 01 · Sized to the legal minimum
Kennels and dog runs
We ask how many dogs, what size and whether the enclosure is for a licensed establishment, because the answer changes the minimum dimensions that apply. The internal dimensions go on the quotation in writing, so an inspector and the operator are reading the same figures. An order stated to be for a licensed establishment and specified below the minimum is declined.
Step 2 · Minimum
Which legal minimum applies.
Step 3 · Quote
Internal dimensions stated.
Step 4 · Build
Fabricated and finished.
Step 1 · Species
What is being housed, and how many.
Step 2 · Cleaning
How it will be washed down.
Step 3 · Detail
Drainage and reachable joints.
Step 4 · Finish
Coating chosen for the exposure.
Program 02 · Built for cleaning
Catteries and animal enclosures
Most enclosures fail at the details rather than the frame: a box section that traps water, a joint that cannot be reached with a brush, mesh that corrodes where disinfectant pools. We detail for cleaning and drainage because a pen that cannot be cleaned properly becomes a welfare problem long before it becomes a structural one.
Program 03 · CE marked when required
Metal structures and parts
Load-bearing structural steel falls under a harmonised standard that requires certified factory production control, an execution class and qualified welding coordination, with a declaration of performance and a CE mark. Non-structural items do not need it. We tell you which category your item is in rather than implying certification across everything we make.
Step 1 · Classify
Load-bearing, or not.
Step 2 · Specify
Execution class where it applies.
Step 3 · Fabricate
Under factory production control.
Step 4 · Declare
Performance declared, CE marked.
Step 1 · Check
Whether permission is needed.
Step 2 · Base
Level, drained and prepared.
Step 3 · Install
Anchored and aligned.
Step 4 · Hand over
Dimensions and care instructions.
Program 04 · Permission is yours
Delivery and installation
A permanent structure can require planning permission, which is the client's to obtain and which we do not install without. We will say when we think something needs it rather than fitting it and leaving the problem with you. On larger installations a safety and health coordinator is appointed where the construction site rules apply.
