Laser cutting

Does anybody in the collective know of a laser cutting service that actually answers e-mails? I am struggling to find anybody to do a number of cutting jobs (wing support etc). I started by sending quote requests to LaserMaster in Cornwall (as I was visiting my ancient dad and it is nearby) No response. I then shifted to EssexLaser who promise a 1 hour response. I gave them two days and followed up with another e-mail - I was going to call but it is obvious that they have decided to blank me. So I am still looking - I am in East London/Essex and it would be handy if there was anybody localish.

I completely get the fact that some large businesses do not want the hassle of small (by their standards) orders but do wish they could just say so (particularly when they claim to the contrary on their websites).

I am keen to supply my own material as I have a large stock of 7075 ali to use up...

I have used Luffman Engineering in Tiverton, currently using Bradford Laser as I am now in Wakefield.

Bradford Laser are excellent and the costs are reasonable compared to most I have used; Danny is the contact.

Many thanks all.

Femster87 - I have sent drawings to the e-mail address on the website. Many thanks for the very prompt responses from everybody. I should have asked on here earlier.

Fractory, Xometry - online quote and buy.

If you need it to be local and don't mind waterjet - northwestwaterjet limited were great for me but not too keen for postage if I remember correctly.

So here is a big thank you to Fem. Such a good person to have in this community. Please ignore the 4 x 2 wood but I am sure you get the idea of these brackets.
