Beautifully engineered shaped metal tubes

At Timeless Tube we strive to get back to you within a day with a quotation. We know that waiting for quotes can delay projects, so we try to turn these around as quickly as we can. However, if the job entails further fabrication processes this may take us a little longer.

Please note that our quotations are dependent upon metal costs provided by our metal suppliers. They are also subject to daily metal price and exchange rate fluctuation as set by the London Metal Exchange (although typically our metal suppliers set prices on the 1st day of every month). This may mean that the price we quote you could change at time of order if it is not placed within the same calendar month.

The business was established in 1987, and since then we have been a pioneer in tube manufacturing. We are metal tube suppliers not only for the UK, but for Europe, Asia and North America. Timeless Tube consider ourselves to be the original innovators of the ornamental tube. However, our business is not only limited to ornamental or decorative tubes. Our clients often use us to make prototypes or custom-make tubing in shapes and sizes not available elsewhere, for applications as diverse as healthcare equipment or transportation components.

We manufacture all our tube profiles from round tubes made from various metals and various sizes.

No. You can order just one length of tube if that is all you need (one length is about 6m long). However please note that for orders of less than 5 lengths there is a set-up fee of £50 per type of tube.

There will also be shipping costs, which usually start at £60 depending upon the material selected.

From the number of lengths manufactured our flat-sided oval tube is the most popular, but this is closely followed by oval tube.

Not quite yet – but we are in the process of producing CAD files for all of our shaped tubing, across many sizes. If there is a particular profile that you require a design file for please let us know and we will endeavour to produce this for you. And if you wish to be notified of when all the CAD files are ready, please let us know your contact details and we will be in touch.

Yes we do – for some of our most popular sized oval and twisted oval tubes, as well as a couple of our most-used D-shaped tubes. Fitters and fabricators regularly use our joiners to connect our tubes because they make the joining process so much neater and a lot easier. If you are placing a large order and you find that we do not stock a joiner in the size you require, please speak to us as it is possible for us to make new sizes. Visit our joiners page to find out more about what we offer.

Absolutely – we regularly bend the tubing after it has been shaped as part of the fabrication process. In fact, in most instances there is further fabrication work that needs to be done to the tubing before it is ready for its end-application. Timeless can take care of many of these processes for you, including welding, machining, polishing. Often our clients find that this can save them time and money. Just speak to us about what we can do for you.

Our most popular flat sided oval tube sizes are: i. First: 39.0mm x 19.0mm x 1.5mm ii. Second: 31.0mm x 15.0mm x 1.5mm ii. Joint Third: 62.0mm x 31.0mm x 1.5mm and 62.0mm x 31.0mm x 3.0mm

Our most popular oval tube sizes are: i. First: 47.0mm x 25.0mm x 1.5mm ii. Joint second: 61.0mm x 37.0mm x 1.5mm along with 39.5mm x 20.5mm x 1.5mm iii. Fourth: 23.5mm x 13.3mm x 1.5mm

Yes, we do. We sell joiners for oval and twisted oval tube, as well as joiners for our D-shaped tubing (but in just a couple of sizes). We also sell end caps. Asides from our tubing and components, we also offer a range of other services such as welding, polishing, bending and fabrication. Get in touch for more information.

Stainless steel 316L, stainless steel 304L and aluminium 5083 is supplied to us in 6 metre lengths.

Aluminium 6063 T6 is supplied to us in 5 metre lengths. Brass CZ108 and bronze is supplied in either 3 or 5 metres. Our manufacturing process reduces the length by 0.2 metres (0.3 metres for flat-sided oval).

Therefore depending on the material and profile we sell a length as: 5.8 metres (5.7 metres for flat-sided oval) 4.8 metres (4.7 metres for flat-sided oval) 2.8 metres (2.7 metres for flat-sided oval)

It is also possible to buy less than a length.

*The 200mm x 100mm oval is supplied in 5.4 metre lengths.

Yes, it is possible to order a different size.

Before being added to our standard orderable range, all of our bespoke tube profiles have been through an extensive development process to prove out the new size.

Please contact us to ask about different tube sizes. In some cases we can make new tooling in order to fabricate a bespoke size for you.

Yes, you can order a sample. Often we are able to send you samples free of charge. Give us a call to discuss your requirements.

For orders over five lengths, there is no manufacturing set up fee. For each order placed for less than four lengths of tube, there is a manufacturing set up fee of £50.00.

No, we do not use mild steel in our manufacturing workshop due to contamination issues. If you are considering using mild steel, we urge you to ask us to quote for your tubing in stainless steel. Mild steel may be cheaper in the short-run, but stainless steel is more cost-effective over time thanks to its durability and impressive corrosion resistance.
