About Our Engineering Services

Precision Machining from Driffield Since 2001

W&K Precision Engineers Ltd operates from Units 24–28 at Cranswick Industrial Estate in Driffield, East Yorkshire. The business was established in 2001 by Steve Knaggs and Lee Wade, and has grown steadily on the strength of repeat custom from manufacturers, contractors and engineering businesses across the region. Over 25 years of trading, the team has built up a thorough understanding of what clients need: accurate components, honest lead times and a workshop that communicates clearly throughout the job.

All eight services on this page are delivered in-house at the Driffield facility. That matters because projects frequently require more than one operation. A component may need turning, milling and grinding before it is ready for inspection and despatch. Keeping all of those processes under one roof removes the delays and communication risks that come with spreading work across several suppliers. W&K handles the full sequence, with a single point of contact from the initial enquiry through to delivery.

The workshop accepts work from 2D drawings, DXF/DWG files, STEP and IGES models, and SolidWorks files. Customer-supplied material is also accepted where traceability documentation accompanies the stock. For clients who need guidance before committing to a drawing, the team is happy to discuss design-for-manufacture considerations at the quoting stage.

How We Work

From Enquiry to Delivery

Send Your Drawings

Email your drawings, CAD files or a written description to wk.wkprecision@gmail.com. Same-day responses on straightforward enquiries.

Receive Your Quote

We review the drawing, identify any design-for-manufacture points, and return a competitive quotation with a realistic lead time before any commitment is made.

Production & Inspection

Components are machined, inspected against the drawing at key stages, and checked dimensionally before leaving the workshop. Inspection reports available on request.

Delivery or Collection

Finished components can be collected from the Driffield workshop or despatched by carrier. Packaging is appropriate to the component type and agreed at the point of order.

Materials & Sectors

Who We Work With and What We Machine

Materials We Machine

The workshop handles a wide range of metals and engineering plastics. Mild steel, stainless steel in all grades, aluminium and aluminium alloys, brass, bronze, copper, titanium and engineering plastics including nylon, Delrin and PEEK are all machined regularly. Material can be sourced from certified stockholders with full traceability, or supplied by the customer.

For safety-critical or regulated applications, mill certificates and full traceability documentation are available on request. Dimensional inspection reports and first-article inspection records can also be provided.

Industries We Serve

Clients include engineering businesses, manufacturers, fabricators, maintenance contractors and product developers across East Yorkshire, the Humber region, North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and beyond. Sectors served include agricultural engineering, food processing, oil and gas, construction plant, automotive, general manufacturing and prototype development.

Repeat orders from existing customers form the majority of the workshop's output, which reflects the consistency and reliability of the service. New enquiries from businesses of any size are always welcome.

Common Questions About Our Services

There is no minimum order quantity at W&K Precision. The workshop regularly produces single one-off components for prototype and development purposes, as well as larger repeat production batches. Each enquiry is assessed on its own merits and quoted accordingly. Customers requiring a single emergency replacement part are as welcome as those placing regular repeat orders.

Send your drawings, CAD files or a description of the work to wk.wkprecision@gmail.com, or call 01377 271041 to discuss the requirement directly. Most straightforward enquiries receive a quotation on the same day. For more complex multi-operation jobs or components with detailed inspection requirements, a brief conversation at the start saves time for both parties.

Yes. The machine breakdown and repair service exists specifically to support businesses dealing with unexpected equipment failures. Calling 01377 271041 directly is the fastest way to discuss availability for urgent work. Where workshop capacity allows, breakdown components are prioritised to minimise downtime for the customer. Lead times for urgent jobs are always discussed and confirmed at the point of enquiry.

W&K Precision can work from physical samples and worn or damaged parts where drawings are no longer available. The team will measure the part and discuss any features that require clarification before proceeding. This is particularly common for breakdown and repair work, where original drawings may have been lost or were never produced. Bringing or sending the part to the Driffield workshop is the most reliable starting point in these cases.

Full material traceability documentation, mill certificates and CMM inspection reports are all available on request. These are particularly important for clients in oil and gas, food processing and other regulated industries where documented evidence of material compliance and dimensional conformance must be retained. Advise W&K at the point of enquiry if certification documentation will be required so it can be factored into the quotation.

W&K Precision Engineers is based at Cranswick Industrial Estate, Driffield, East Yorkshire, YO25 9QE. The majority of customers are located in East Yorkshire, the Humber region and North and South Yorkshire, though components are despatched to clients across the UK. Local customers are also welcome to collect from the workshop. Call 01377 271041 to discuss collection or delivery arrangements for your order.

The workshop routinely holds tolerances of ±0.01 mm on CNC turned and milled components, and tighter tolerances can be achieved on surface ground work where flatness and parallelism requirements demand it. The achievable tolerance depends on the material, component geometry and the specific feature in question. When a drawing specifies a critical tolerance, the team will flag any concerns at the quoting stage before work begins rather than discovering an issue mid-production. CMM verification is available for components where dimensional evidence is required.

Customers are welcome to drop off raw material and collect finished components directly from the Driffield workshop. For clients who prefer not to travel, components can be despatched by carrier once complete, with packaging appropriate to the component type agreed at the point of order. For regular customers placing repeat production orders, a collection and delivery arrangement can often be organised. Call 01377 271041 to discuss what works best for your situation and location.

Yes. Customer-supplied material is accepted provided appropriate traceability documentation accompanies the stock, particularly for safety-critical components or regulated industries. If you are supplying your own material, it is worth confirming the grade, heat number and any relevant certifications before despatch to ensure the documentation trail is complete. The workshop can also source certified material directly from approved stockholders where the customer prefers a single point of supply for both material and machining.
