We have qualified welders working to qualified procedures in MIG, MMA and TIG and have been ISO 9000 approved since 1992.

What Our Customers Say

Manufacturing

Manufacturing is a huge part of our business and it is essential that we always strive for quality, our skilled welders, platers and machine operators in Manchester and Ely do a great job keeping up our excellent reputation. We fabricate and machine bespoke engineering products for a range of different industries from small and intricate items to full machines that sometimes require radical thought to get them out of the building.

Assembly & Testing

Pre-assembly in the workshop sometimes saves time and money. If something doesn't fit, we can bring it to the clients attention and work with them to correct the error before it gets to site. W. A. Cooke & Sons skilled fitters are comfortable working to fine tolerances setting up bearings, couplings and gearboxes into a full machine assembly.

Site Installation/Maintenance

We have found that our ability to handle a full project from site measurement, through design, fabrication, machining, painting, assembly, testing, delivery, installation and finally to commissioning is attractive to many of our clients. Unlike dealing with a string of different contractors that need to interface with each other, there are no grey areas around 'which company is responsible for what'. We take full responsibility from start to finish.
