Supporting the building
industry for over 30 years

Stainless Steel Fixings (SSF) Ltd was established in 1984 by Eric Dowe after he acquired decades of experience working for one of the UK's biggest fixing manufacturers. The company is now run by his three sons, who have between them 60 years experience within the industry. From the very beginning, the Company's success has been built by providing our customers with better value products and services than our competitors.

About our stainless steel
There are more than 60 grades of stainless steel, but we, in common with others, manufacture using just two:

Most of our products are made from Grade 1.4301 (304). In normal working conditions, this steel has a high resistance to corrosion. However, after prolonged exposure in aggressive environments, it can show some surface discolouration. Please note that this has no detrimental effect on the performance of the material.

For areas that are highly corrosive, we recommend Grade 1.4401 (316) instead. This material includes molybdenum and a higher nickel content, which gives it a greater resistance to corrosion. Please let us know in advance if you require this grade.

Mild steel
We produce mild steel fabrications for many applications such as secondary steel and brickwork reinforcement. Depending on your requirements, we offer you a choice of painted, galvanised and power-coated finishes. If you are not sure which one you need, just give us a call or send us an email and we will be happy to advise you.

Stainless steel polishing
On request, we can polish your stainless steel with a choice of three finishes: 2J brushed/dull finish, 2K satin finish and 2P bright finish. Contact us for samples to help you decide which finish you want.

Design
If you don't have in-house designers, we can have your fixings designed for you. To ensure the design conforms to the latest British and European Standards, we only use experienced engineers that carry Professional Indemnity Insurance.
