Sheet Metal Fabrication
Custom sheet metal fabrication for industrial plant and buildings Henderson workshop, delivered and fitted across Western Australia.
Custom sheet metal fabrication across Perth and Western Australia
Plants are full of things that were never in a catalogue a transition between two mismatched ducts, a hopper that has to fit around existing steel, a guard for a drive that’s been modified twice, a weather hood nobody makes any more. IPC Maintenance’s sheet metal workers cut, fold, roll and weld light-gauge steel, stainless and aluminium into exactly those items, working from your drawing, a rough sketch or the worn original.
Everything is made in our Henderson workshop and, where you want it, delivered and fitted by our own site crews so the measure-up, the fabrication and the installation all sit with one contractor, and there’s nobody to blame if it doesn’t fit.
The Problems We Solve
Components that are obsolete, discontinued, or were custom-made for your plant thirty years ago and have no replacement.
Off-the-shelf parts that nearly fit and the downtime spent making them work.
Ducting, hoppers and transitions that need to suit what's actually installed rather than what the drawings say.
Suppliers who will fabricate the item but won't come to site to measure it or fit it.
Guards, covers and access panels removed during maintenance and never replaced, leaving an open safety finding.
What we do / What's included
- Custom fabrication from light-gauge sheet cutting, guillotining, folding, rolling, punching and welding.
- Ducting, transitions, elbows, hoods, cowls and dust-extraction components.
- Light hoppers, bins, chutes, trays, funnels and liners.
- Machine guards, covers, access panels, enclosures and inspection hatches.
- Flashings, cappings, trims, weather hoods, louvres and drip trays.
- Insulation jacketing, valve boxes and removable covers for our insulation crews.
- Stainless steel fabrication benches, splashbacks, hygienic enclosures and washdown-area items.
- Reverse engineering from a worn or damaged original where no drawing exists
- Site measure-up, delivery and installation by our own crews
- Finishing deburring, polishing, powder coating or protective coating as specified
Australian standards & policies we align with
Sheet metal fabrication is produced within Australia’s materials, forming and safety framework:

Frequently Asked Questions
Gauge and method. Sheet metal is light material cut, folded and rolled into shape ducting, guards, hoppers, flashings. Fabrication & Modification is heavy structural steel and plate beams, platforms, support frames. If you're not sure which you need, send a photo and we'll tell you.
Yes - transitions, elbows, hoods and dust-extraction components for industrial applications.
Yes - guards are designed and fixed with AS 4024.1 safe opening distances and fixing requirements in mind, so the item closes out the finding rather than creating a new one.
Deburred and finished as standard, with galvanising, powder coating or protective coating applied to the specification. Our own coatings team handles industrial protective systems in-house.
It depends on material availability and complexity - a simple guard or flashing is quick, a multi-part duct run is not. Call 1300 419 757 and we'll give you a realistic date rather than an optimistic one.
