    Chart of advisable thicknesses and materials for different uses

    We offer a variety of materials to have your drain cover produced from.

    A) Painted mild steel: This material is great for out of the way locations that can't be walked on such as under drain pipes, or on roofs.

    B) Unpainted mild steel: If you want to send your drain cover off to be galvanised, or need it for a fireplace or just want to paint it yourself. This option is for you.

    C) Stainless steel: This option can be painted as well, just add your paint request to the order notes. Stainless steel is corrosion resistant so will last an extremely long time and satisfy standards for use on pathways or driveways.

    D) Stainless steel painted: Stainless steel is corrosion resistant so will last an extremely long time and satisfy standards for use on pathways or driveways. You can have this painted by standard in the following options: Matt Black, Antique Copper, Antique silver, Gloss Red.

    E) Weathering Steel: We typically use Cor-ten but sometimes other brands are used, this is a weathering steel. It will go a orange/brown initially and then weather to a deep smooth brown oxide finish over time. This layer of oxide protects the steel inside from corrosion. This option will also last a long time and can look very nice as well.

    F) Antique Copper / Silver painted steel: As per option A (Painted mild steel) But these are hammered effect copper or silver with black powder coat instead of matt black.

    FAQ
    Can you cut other custom parts instead of drain covers?
    Neil Bowen
    Yes we can. You can checkout and order on the website via our custom cutting option. Click on the main menu and it's the first link down. Alternatively please contact us to discuss your requirements. 
    What finish does the stainless steel drain cover have?
    Neil Bowen
    The stainless steel covers have a brushed finish as standard, if you would like a stainless cover powder coated in Matt Black, Antique copper or Antique silver this can also be done at no extra charge. Please add this to the notes box when adding your drain cover to your basket.
    How long does it take for a custom drain cover to be delivered?
    Neil Bowen
    Custom drain covers can take up to 3 working days to dispatch.  We do aim to get these produced more quickly than this but depending on the design and if it needs powder coating they can take up to this long. We ship these on a 24-hour courier normally as standard but sometimes use a 48-hour service. There are express options on checkout which speed up both the shipping and dispatch/cutting time. 
    Can I return a custom drain cover if I change my mind?
    Neil Bowen
    Unfortunately this is not possible as we will have to dispose of them. If we of course have produced them incorrectly then we can discuss replacements or a refund as is suitable.
    Can I get a VAT invoice?
    Neil Bowen
    Yes, this should be emailed to you automatically once your order ships. If you don't receive it then please contact us so we can fix this for you.
    Can you powder coat the corten drain covers?
    Neil Bowen
    We can powder coat the corten drain covers thought it is not necessary unless you prefer it for aesthetic reasons.  If you would like it to be powder coated please get in touch. If you do want a corrosion resistant drain cover that is painted a better choice would be Stainless steel.
    How can I send you the information or dimension if I need a cut out?
    Neil Bowen
    You can add your order notes/description as well as a image or diagram to the website while you order your drain cover.Should you wish to send us additional information please email sales@lakelandsteel.uk including your order number.

    Excellent! I could not find a replacement for an old drain cover that cracked anywhere.

    I had one made to order and in place in just 2 days. Thank you.
    Who we are

    Among the peaceful hills with the odd ball of wool trotting around, we're buzzing away creating things we feel are special.

    Lakeland Steel (Laser Factory Ltd) is a laser cutting company based in the Lake District, Cumbria. All our products are designed and produced here. Among the peaceful hills with the odd ball of wool trotting around, we're buzzing away creating things we feel are special. We are just as happy cutting customers parts, or producing our own products. If you need some metal and don't or can't create it yourself, then we're happy to help.

    Towards the end of 2014 I spotted a stainless steel key ring someone had made on my social media and I thought it looked amazing. Almost immediately I thought, well how hard could it be to make metal items myself?

    After a few evenings of slightly over ambitious hunting on the internet I decided that I could just about afford a CNC Plasma machine. This particular machine was an air plasma and it uses compressed air and electricity to make an incredibly hot plasma cutting arc that moves over the metal plate.

    6 weeks later and the new machine was installed in a barn section a little bigger than a single garage and ready to run. It quickly became clear that an air plasma does not cut quite fine enough to make key rings and I should have done a few more days research! And as a result new projects were born that the machine was suitable for.

    The first item I needed was a drain cover for a down pipe cover on the old house I lived in. Nothing was available in the size I needed (12.5" x 11.9") so I cut one myself. Spray painted it with Black Hammerite paint and thought I may as well list them on eBay. Within an hour we sold one, and I panicked as the paint wasn't even dry yet in the make shift spray painting "zone".

    We've not looked back since and quickly ventured in to metal wall art which also started to fly off the shelves faster than expected.

    It was not long before we had to move to a larger industrial premises and the closest destination available at the time was in the west Cumbrian coastal town of Millom. This is now where we produce all of our products and house our machinery. Millom has a long history of metal works and although the Iron works are now gone we feel like we've ended up in the right spot.

    In a blink of an eye there were simply not enough hours in the day and we started employing some incredible staff and had to hang up the one man band hat. The team has only got stronger over the years, and everyone enjoys the process of bringing our creations to life. And I have to admit it's true that often someone else can do something better than you can yourself, even if it was a little daunting handing over control of parts of the process to someone else.

    Eventually we bought with the help of a good friend and new business partner our first laser and a much chunkier HD XPR Plasma cutter. This now allowed us to cut the keyrings that started our journey as well as improving the cut quality of all our metal art work.

    The next step was to escape from the mess and hassle of wet painting our products. We installed a high end powder coating booth, spray gun and oven. This gives us a better finish, and a huge variety of finishes too. But the biggest advantage, we can now paint and ship items the same day instead of waiting for a week or two for the wet paint to be dry enough.

    A few years passed of non stop ideas and projects before we upgraded to a powerful 6kw laser and we were finally plasma free in 2020. All our metals up to 30mm can now be cut by laser.

    Our laser cutters offer by far the best cut, and the machine we now use was an unimaginable dream back in 2014.

    Finally in 2021 we expanded into Jewellery with the addition of some special polishing machines, and a ultra fine laser cutter & engraver for the jewellery. It can only cut up to 154mm x 154mm in size but offers really incredible cut quality and detail. We've started making exciting new products here and so far everything we've been offering has again caught us out by selling quicker than we thought they might. At least we're kept on our toes!

    As it stands today we've learnt an awful lot and know how to extract great products, art, projects and customers parts from a sheet of metal with ease.
    Our quality, tolerances and repeatability are excellent, and we're excited to work for either a one off part or a bulk order of thousands of items.
