Trade Counter

ML (UK) Ltd are pleased to able to offer our fixings and consumables supplies Trade Counter dedicated to the engineering and marine industries within Portsmouth and the surrounding areas.
Since the closure of the long and well established ‘J.W Touts Ltd’ at Clarence Street, Portsmouth as well as the recent closure of ‘C.P Fastenings’ of Southsea, we found it difficult as a local engineering company to get hold of engineering supplies such as fixings and fastenings on the quick and so it felt like a natural decision to open our own store. We now have a fully stocked trade counter located at our Mile End workshop which is open to the general public as well as the trade.
We stock a large range of fixings and fastenings which are available to buy loose or in bulk quantities as well as huge variety of consumables from sealants and lubricants to grinding discs and tools. If you require a product that we do not have in stock we can usually get it delivered to store next day. To check stock or availability please feel free to give us a call or complete the enquiry form on the right.
To complement our trade counter we have also increased our engineering capacity for machining with a dedicated machine shop to undertake batch work for bespoke fixings to machining pins, bushes, keyways and general machine work.
With our Trade Counter, Steel Sales Service stocking a large range of materials in mild steel, aluminium and stainless steel, and our Machine Shop we can source or manufacture anything for your engineering requirements.

STEEL SALES
Our comprehensive range of steel materials is ideally suited to all forms of metal work, from fabrication and welding to maintenance, facilities management and engineering. Our steel sales department provide high quality mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium to craftsmen, engineers and technicians across Hampshire and Sussex with materials available straight from stock depending on the quantities required. Some of the towns we regularly supply include Southampton, Portsmouth, Havant and Chichester. We ensure large quantities are available for next-day delivery or we can supply smaller quantities in no time at all.
We have a highly reputable history of carrying out various extensive fabrications and welding jobs from our comprehensive facility based in Portsmouth. We have worked with a number of different materials in the past, including aluminium, stainless steel, mild steel, structural grade steel and more. When it comes to processing steel and numerous other materials, our team of highly trained operatives have many years experience. Some of the many processes we have carried out in the past include folding, drilling, rolling and providing custom steel cuts when taking client specifications into account.
Mild steel is a strong form of metal that can be primed or painted to prevent any future onset of rust. It is regarded as a cheap and reliable alternative to many other fabrication materials and is hugely popular in metal works carried out by engineers, technicians and craftsmen alike. This is the standard choice for many welding and fabrication jobs and we encourage you to take full advantage of the highly competitive prices we have to offer on our extensive range of mild steel materials here at ML UK.
Aluminium is also one of the most popular metals throughout the construction industry alongside steel. Aluminium is a pure metal and possesses numerous characteristics that make it an excellent choice for the vast majority of fabrication, engineering and maintenance works. Aluminium is highly regarded for its light, strong, durable and corrosion resistant properties, while it is also an exceptional conductor of heat and electricity. Here at ML UK we have numerous aluminium materials to choose from that can be cut to size to suit your specific requirements.
The comprehensive range of steel materials we have to both the public and the trade include the following:
- Universal columns
- Universal beams
