Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication in Lismore
Need a stainless steel bench that fits just right? A ute toolbox tough enough for the Northern Rivers backroads? Or a canopy designed for your kitchen’s quirks? At Sidney & Hacking, we bring metalwork to life with precision, skill, and an investment in quality. We’ve been shaping steel in Lismore since 1903, and with our fully equipped local workshop, we’ll build exactly what you need, minus the wait and compromise.
We’re Problem Solvers in Steel
Engineering Smart Solutions For Every Job
In our workshop, no two days (or designs!) are ever the same. We’ve built toolboxes that can handle life on the road, stainless steel kitchens tough enough for the busiest pubs, and balustrades that bring both safety and style to family homes. Whether it’s a custom ute fit-out for a tradie, a one-off bracket for an engineer or a set of handrails for a local school, we fabricate with care, precision and a deep understanding of what each job needs to stand the test of time.
Our common clients are builders, chefs, artists, architects, and basically anyone who needs something stronger, smarter, or more specialised than standard. Everything we make is done in-house, by a qualified team that values craftsmanship over shortcuts. From the first spark to the final polish, it’s metalwork that’s made to spec and to last.
