PK-01Weather stripGI / SS
Weather strip
Glazing and door channel with inturned lips that grip the rubber beading and shed water clear of the joint.

We roll steel profiles to your drawing — weather strip, C and hat sections, gutters, purlins — for bus and coach body builders, fabricators and OEMs. Send a section and we will quote the tooling, the rate per metre, and a first-off sample.

Profile range
Sections we roll every week
These run on existing tooling, so lead times are short and there is no development cost. Anything outside the range, we make the tool for.
PK-02C sectionGI / CRCA
C section
The workhorse channel. Body framing, pillars, floor bearers and any run that needs stiffness without weight.
PK-03Hat sectionGI / CRCA
Hat section
Flanges sit flat on the panel and rivet or spot-weld straight down. Roof sticks, cant rails, floor and side stiffeners.
PK-04GutterGI / Alu
Gutter
Roof drip rail with a return lip, so rain runs to the downpipe instead of down the window line and into the body.
PK-05Z sectionGI
Z section
Purlins and rails that lap end to end over a support, so long runs carry more with fewer joints.
PK-XXCustom to drawingAny coil
Custom to drawing
Send a DXF, a PDF or a sample of the old part. We develop the flower, cut the rolls and run a first-off for your approval.
In-house tooling
The tool is the hard part
Anyone can bend metal. Getting a section to hold its dimension down a 6-metre length, without twist, edge wave or springback, is decided before the coil is loaded — in the flower pattern and the roll design. We do that work ourselves, which is why we can change a section without waiting on an outside tool room.
- Profile development. Developed width, bend allowance and pass count worked out from your section, not guessed.
- Rolls cut and hardened in-house. New tooling in [2–3 weeks], and corrections in days rather than months.
- First-off before production. You check the sample against your drawing and sign it off. Only then do we run the order.
- Your tooling stays yours. Stored here, logged against your part number, ready for the repeat order.
Custom roll forming
Continuous cold forming from coil, on lines set up for the gauges bus body work actually uses.
Tool & die room
Roll design, machining and hardening under our own roof, so a change to your section is our problem to solve.
Cut to length
Flying cut-off on the line. You get the lengths your jig needs instead of stock bars your team has to trim.
Punching & notching
Holes, slots and end notches punched in line to your drawing, so the part arrives ready to fix.
Material sourcing
GI, CRCA, stainless and aluminium coil bought to spec, with mill test certificates when you need them.
Inspection
Section, length and hole position checked against the approved first-off, batch by batch.
How a job runs
Drawing to dispatch
Five steps, in this order, every time. You are asked to approve once — at the first-off — and nothing goes into production until you do.
-
Step 01
Send the section
A DXF, a PDF, a marked-up sketch, or the old part in a courier bag. Any of them is enough to start.
-
Step 02
Flower & tooling
We develop the flower pattern, fix the pass count and cut the rolls. You get tooling cost and rate per metre before anything is machined.
-
Step 03
First-off sample
We run a trial length and send it with a dimension report. You check it against your drawing and approve.
-
Step 04
Production
Rolled, cut to length, punched and notched to the approved sample, checked batch by batch.
-
Step 05
Dispatch
Bundled with edge protection and scheduled against your build plan, so sections land when the line needs them.
Who we supply
Built around bus bodies, useful well beyond them
Bus and coach work sets our tolerances and our gauges. Everything else we roll benefits from the same tooling discipline.
Bus & coach body building
Our home trade. Framing, glazing and roof sections that arrive matched to your jig.
Weather strip · Gutter · Hat · C section
Commercial vehicles & trailers
Load body framing, floor bearers and side rails in gauges that take the hammering.
C section · Z section · Angle
Solar mounting
Purlins and rails for module structures, pre-punched so the site crew only has to bolt.
Z section · Hat · C section
Storage racking
Uprights and beams rolled to repeat dimensions, batch after batch.
C section · U channel · Custom
Pre-engineered buildings
Roof and wall purlins in long lengths, lapped Z or plain C to your structural drawing.

Send us a section
A drawing, a photo of the old part, or just the dimensions written down. We come back with tooling cost, rate per metre and a lead time — normally within one working day.
