Stainless steel fabrication features in the one account, with a splashback and an angled strip made for a benchtop in an older motorhome refurbishment. Andy is singled out as helpful during the job, and the manufacturing cost is described as favourable.

Fitting the splashback required an opening cut near its upper edge so that an extraction fan set within the wall panelling stayed reachable through a removable vent, while a corner of that cut sat higher to clear the overhead cabinet. The work involved shaping metal around existing fittings and the constraints of a vehicle interior, and the customer came away pleased with the result.
