About us
A new workshop with an experienced pair of hands behind it
Chilverstone Engineering was established in 2026. We are deliberately open about being a new company — and about the experience that stands behind the machines.
Our story
Why Chilverstone Engineering exists
After [XX]+ years working in engineering — setting up machines, solving manufacturing problems and machining parts that had to be right — [FOUNDER NAME] took the decision to build a workshop of his own. Chilverstone Engineering was registered and established in 2026.
The idea was simple: keep the workshop small enough that the person quoting the job is the person making the part, and invest in the machines and inspection equipment needed to do that work properly rather than quickly.
We are not going to tell you we have decades of history, a wall of accreditations or a list of household-name customers. We have [XX]+ years of hands-on engineering experience, a workshop that is being set up properly, and a genuine interest in doing good work for people who need parts made.

The founder
[XX]+ years of doing it properly
Placeholder for the founder biography — to be supplied by the client.
Where the experience comes from
[XX]+ years in engineering, covering turning, milling, fabrication and repair work across a range of industries. This section will carry the founder’s background in his own words once the client confirms the detail.
- Setting up and running manual and CNC machines
- Working from customer drawings, sketches and sample parts
- Repair, modification and reverse engineering of worn or obsolete components
- One-off work, small batches and repeat production runs
Looking for something specific?
If you want to know whether we have done a particular type of work before, just ask. We would rather have that conversation up front.
What we stand for
Four things we won’t compromise on
Precision
Parts are made to the drawing and checked against it. If the tolerance on the drawing is unrealistic for the application, we will say so rather than guess.
Quality
Deburred, finished and inspected before it goes out. No parts leave the workshop that we would not be happy to fit ourselves.
Straight talking
Honest lead times, honest prices and a phone call if anything changes. We will also tell you when a job is not for us.
Investing in capability
Every job we win goes back into tooling, machines and inspection equipment, so the range of work we can take on keeps growing.
Being honest
We’re new. Here’s what that means for you.
- No standing reputation to hide behind. We cannot afford a single job that is late, wrong or badly finished, so yours gets the attention it deserves.
- Direct contact. You deal with the engineer, not a sales office. Questions get answered by the person who made the part.
- Competitive pricing. We are building a customer base, and our pricing reflects that while we establish ourselves.
- Honest capability. Anything we cannot machine in-house, we will tell you at the quotation stage and, where we can, point you towards someone who can.
No invented achievements, no borrowed history — just the experience we actually have and the work we actually do.
How we work
From drawing to dispatch
A simple, predictable process — and you will know where your job is at every stage.
Drawings checked
We read the drawing before quoting and flag anything ambiguous, missing or difficult to machine.
Clear quotation
Price, lead time and any assumptions stated in writing, so there are no surprises later.
Machined and checked
In-process checks during machining and a final inspection against the drawing before dispatch.
Packed and dispatched
Protected, labelled and ready for collection or delivery, with records kept per job.
Have a drawing? Let’s talk about it.
Send us your drawings, sketches or a sample part and we’ll come back with a price and a lead time.
