Profiling Expertise
Founded in 1976 as a flame profiling service, over the next 3 decades we have expanded our services portfolio to include laser, waterjet and plasma while still retaining our flame cutting capabilities. In turn, this has enabled us to establish ourselves as one of the largest and most diverse specialist profile cutting companies in the UK.
Diverse Cutting Methods
We’re proud to be one of the few profiling companies able to offer 4 different cutting methods under the same roof. This enables our customers to have a choice of 4 different cutting methods, enabling them to find and utilise a service perfectly fitted to their requirement. It also allows us to offer alternative profiling methods which may be more cost effective for our clients.
CE Marking (BS EN 1090-1)
The construction industry forms a large part of our customer base and so we understand the importance of being able to provide CE Marked profiled parts. Due to this, Charles Day underwent extensive auditing and now have a Factory Process Control system in place for the laser/flame/plasma cutting of CE Marked materials due to be used within the construction industry.
