What do we do? (product and service range)
We are a dedicated manufacturer of steel lintels and similar products. We are a 'just in time' manufacturer, meaning most products are made to order. This enables us to offer an enormous range of products but with short lead times. Other mass production manufacturers produce high volumes of a few standard lintels, whereas because of our manufacturing process significantly more of our business is in larger or heavier duty lintels and other non-standard lintels.
This website is dedicated to our range of Stainless Steel lintels - the largest range of standard lintels in the UK and all designed specifically for manufacture in stainless steel.
Other manufacturers typically only offer stainless as a material option on their standard lintels.

www.harvey-steel-lintels.co.uk How long does it take? (product lead time)
We are able to deliver most standard Lintels in 2-5 days.
Special designs require the client to approve drawings prior to commencing manufacture.
Drawings for individual lintels usually take around two days to issue, but complex designs or developments with larger numbers of special lintels can take several weeks to detail. |
Where do we deliver?
The lead time includes delivery. Normally 1-2 days may be saved by collecting the order from the factory. We have daily dispatches to Greater London and home counties, and delivery once or twice a week to the farther reaches of the UK.
If you order through your local builder's merchant, we can either deliver to their yard or direct to you.
How to order lintels
You can order direct from us, or go through your local stockist of our products (see below).
Orders placed directly with us may be Account or paid by cash, cheque or credit or debit card. (Note: we do not currently accept American Express)
Non-account holders will be required to pay for their order prior to dispatch.
Orders must be written - either fax, email or mail, and may refer to the quote if relevent.
Please ensure you have the invoice and delivery addresses correct on the order.
Special lintels usually require the customer to approve the design prior to commencing manufacture, this is only to ensure the fit of the lintel and guard against the possibility of drawing misinterpretation - we do all the calculations for load etc as required. A detailed description of the ordering process can be downloaded in PDF form via the links to the right. |

Buying through your local stockist:
Because of our huge range, and our practice of manufacturing to order, most smaller stockists will not hold standard stock of our lintels, they need to be ordered.
Larger stockists will generally hold stock of what they consider to be the more popular products and sizes in our range, this generally constitutes a tiny fraction of our complete range.
In all cases however the stockist can order from us on your behalf, and because they usually recieve our stockist discount the price to you will be the same as ordering direct from us. The lead time is also unaffected!
