Laser Cutting in Chester

Laser cutting and engraving for Chester and west Cheshire, handled by post or by arrangement.

Area

Laserlea cuts and engraves for customers in Chester and across west Cheshire. We are based in Macclesfield, on the other side of the county, so most Chester work is handled by post or courier rather than in person. Jobs start at £30 and we quote before any work begins.

Distance is not really the issue

Chester is the far side of Cheshire from us, about 50 miles, so we will be honest: this is not a job where you pop in. Almost all of it works perfectly well remotely. You send the artwork, we quote, we cut or engrave, and the finished work goes out by courier at a price we confirm with you first.

If you would rather collect, you are very welcome, and there is no charge for it. Some customers combine it with a trip across the county.

What Chester customers ask us for

Signage and lettering, hospitality pieces such as menus and table numbers, personalised gifts and house signs, awards and plaques, and short production runs for small businesses. Heritage and tourism businesses in the city often want bespoke pieces in wood or acrylic that a general printer cannot produce.

Materials and services

Wood including plywood, MDF, hardwoods and veneers. Plastics including acrylic, Perspex and ABS. Metal marking and engraving. CNC routing for thicker material, quoted per job. We do not engrave iPhones, tablets or laptops.

Pricing and turnaround

£30 minimum covering the first 30 minutes including basic file setup, then £40 an hour pro rata. Drawing or repairing artwork is £25 an hour, agreed with you in advance. No VAT. We confirm a realistic turnaround when we quote, and factor in postage time both ways so the date we give you is the date it lands.
