Does JHT Engineering offer ongoing maintenance or aftercare support?
They emphasize “customer satisfaction” and long-term support. While not fully detailed, technical support and aftercare are implied within their service commitments.
How can I open a trade account with JHT Engineering?
Trade or corporate accounts are handled via the sales team—reach out via phone or email to discuss terms and setup.
Can JHT Engineering work on both new builds and refurbishments?
Yes—they supply steelwork for both new-build and refurbishment projects across commercial, industrial, and utility sectors.
Do you offer installation services for your products?
Yes, we provide fully certified installation services, performed by trained expert teams.
What is the typical lead time for custom fabrication projects?
While exact times vary by project, the site emphasises streamlined off-site construction and efficient workflows to reduce lead times. For details, contact
their technical team.
Are your products made in the UK?
Absolutely—all design, fabrication and installation take place in our UK-based
facilities (Wolverhampton, West Bromwich and Newcastle).
What industries does JHT Engineering typically serve?
They manufacture for a broad range of sectors including utilities, infrastructure, commercial, industrial, water/wastewater, security, and construction.
Does JHT Engineering offer site surveys before quoting or fabrication?
Yes—initial site surveys are part of our process to gather project data prior to design. This can be achieved via site visit by an engineer with a simple tape
measure (depending on complexity). For the very complex ultra-bespoke solutions, we utilise our state of the art LIDAR scanner, to create a “digital twin” of the site.
How do I request a quotation for a project?
Get in touch via the contact form or call sales on 01207 270365 or email at admin@jht-eng.co.uk A technical sales & estimating team will assess your requirements and get back to you.
What services does JHT Engineering provide from start to finish?
JHT Engineering offers a full-service solution: on-site survey, 3D CAD/BIM design, CE-certified manufacturing (Class 2 BS EN 1090), and expert installation.
Can you design to industry specific standards?
Yes. Our design team is well versed in working within industry specific parameters and technical standards such as WIMES for the water industry, plus ONR standards for nuclear – for example.
What anticorrosion treatments are available for outdoor steelwork?
Treatments likely include galvanising, powder-coating, and green-steel options for enhanced environmental performance, plus resilient materials such as stainless steel and aluminium.
Do you provide structural calculations or engineering support?
Yes—engineering support is provided via in-house design team (BIM/CAD/Solid Works) and technical estimating group. Structural calculations are part of design compliance.
How do your access covers handle loadbearing requirements?
Fabricated to customer specifications; load capacities meet usage scenarios such as road, utility, or industrial use. Options include solid top, recessed, and heavy-duty access covers.
What types of materials do you use in your fabrications?
Primarily high-grade structural steel, with options for greensteel (reduced carbon), galvanised, powder-coated variants.
Can JHT Engineering design bespoke steelwork for complexarchitectural needs?
Yes—we specialise in bespoke specialist fabrications, architectural and heritage metalwork, and complex access structures.
Are your steel products galvanised or powder coated?
JHT can offer a variety of coatings depending on the environment the finished product is being installed. For example powder coating and/or galvanised.
Do you offer off-site fabrication for modular components?
Yes—we have an off-site construction service that minimises on-site work.
Can you provide CAD drawings or BIM models for your products?
Yes—we use BIM-compliant 3D CAD and provide drawings for customer approval.
What standards and certifications do your products comply with (e.g.,BS EN ISO 9001)?
• BS EN ISO 9001 certified manufacturing
• CE marking under BS EN 1090 Class 2 for structural steel
• Highsecurity products with LPS 1175 certification
Do you offer longterm supply frameworks or partnerships with publicinfrastructure bodies like councils or water companies?
Yes—the site highlights strong sector relationships (water, utilities, transport) and consistent account management, technical support, and ongoing service.
How do your steel fabrication solutions support major capital projects inthe energy sector?
We offer structural steelwork, access platforms, safety handrails, and covers—often through JHT and Brickhouse—tailored for energy projects.
Are your access systems compliant with DMRB, HA104/09, or otherinfrastructurespecific guidelines?
Compliance is assured via CE/ENCertifications and sector-specific design. Specific standards can be confirmed per contract.
What makes JHT’s products suitable for harsh environments likesewage works or pumping stations?
Use of corrosion-resistant materials, secure locking, heavy-duty design, and green-steel options developed for extreme or corrosive conditions.
How are your trench covers and gratings used in highway and civilinfrastructure projects?
Custom-fabricated to specification for load-bearing trench cover applications in civil/highway works.
Do your steel access platforms meet nuclear sector safety andregulatory standards?
While not explicitly stated, their Class 2 CE steelwork cert and LPS-rated covers ensures compliance with high-stakes environments; specifics should be confirmed on a project basis.
How are your fabricated access covers designed to meet the needs ofutility providers?
Offers utility-grade covers with custom sizes, load ratings, secure locking mechanisms, and compliant materials.
What access solutions does JHT provide for the water and wastewaterindustry?
Through JHT Engineering and access metalwork, they deliver bespoke covers, staircases, platforms, and ladders for water/wastewater plants.
