70 years of Craftmanship 

For nearly seven decades, T Brown & Sons has been synonymous with welding and metal fabrication across Hertfordshire, London, and the Home Counties. As a fourth-generation family business, our story is one of dedication to craft, attention to detail, and unwavering commitment to quality.

Our Journey

Our story began in 1955 when Thomas Brown established a small welding workshop in Watford, determined to provide reliable, high-quality metalwork services to local businesses and homeowners. What started as a modest operation has grown into one of the region’s most respected metal fabrication companies, while remaining true to our founding principles.

Through the decades, each generation of the Brown family has contributed to our growth and evolution:

• First Generation (1955-1975): Thomas Brown established our foundation and core values, focusing on quality craftsmanship and reliability.
• Second Generation (1975-1995): Under new family leadership, we expanded our services and client base, investing in new equipment and techniques.
• Third Generation (1995-2015): We embraced technological advancements in metal fabrication while maintaining our traditional skills and craftsmanship.
• Fourth Generation (2015-Present): Today, under the leadership of Dan Brown, we combine cutting-edge fabrication technology with nearly 70 years of accumulated expertise, offering unmatched quality and innovation.

Throughout this journey, our commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and customer satisfaction has never wavered. From small residential commissions to major commercial projects, we approach every job with the same dedication to excellence.
