Ashton & Moore
Established in 1925, we at Ashton & Moore have the experience and technical know how to undertake successfully a wide variety of metal finishing and industrial finishing processes.
That is why we have been privileged to work closely with Ministry of Defence and Aerospace manufacturers for more than 60 years and are suppliers of finishing to many household names.
Attention to detail
Our ability to work to your exacting specifications is one of our major strengths. We make it our business to have a clear understanding, not just of what you need but of why you need it.
Technical contribution
Our expertise is there for you to call on. We can and do offer advice on the complete range of finishes and how they can be applied to the solving of protection problems - or creating cosmetic impact.
Quality standards
We have been granted Quality approvals by prestigious companies such as Rolls-Royce plc, British Aerospace and Messier Dowty. Rolls-Royce plc also grant us delegated authority for data cards and approval to JES 125 for processing sensitive and critical components. Needless to say these quality standards are maintained for all our customers, large and small.
Service
However perfect the job, it is worth nothing if delivered late. The work that we do is often a small but critical element in a complex manufacturing process. That is why we have the greatest respect for your delivery schedules and deadlines.
The First Choice
Combine these strengths with a management team and work force who genuinely put the customer first and you have a company in which you can place the fullest confidence.
To find out why we are the first choice in finishing all you have to do is to place your first order.

Non Destructive Testing
Aerospace electropolishing small and medium stainless steel components not only creates a surface that actually enhances the appearance but also provides practical advantages.
Electropolished surfaces exhibit a reduction in frictional characteristics thus liquids run off more readily, air flow is improved and powders are less likely to cling.
The process removes manufacturing contamination producing enhanced corrosion protection as a major benefit. Electropolishing is used for a wide variety of applications not only in aerospace and medicine but also in food and agricultural hygiene such as breweries and dairies as well as for general corrosion and corrosion protective purposes.

Lucas Aerospace Thrust Reverse
Ashton & Moore Limited have extended their extensive range of Aerospace finishing services to include NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING. Comprising Fluorescing Penetrant Dye and Magnetic Particle capability this new equipment is housed in a purpose built unit on our Birmingham site which, being Midlands based, is ideally situated to service the whole of the country.
Complementing our plating, painting and anodising capability, non destructive testing offers Aerospace, Defence and other specialist manufacturers the opportunity of "Single source procurement" bringing the benefits of reduced lead times, costs and logistical problems.
