About SolderLab
SolderLab is a small, independent electronics assembly service with over 20 years of professional experience in the electronics industry.
The service is built on experience in hand-built PCB assembly and SMT rework, with a focus on precision, consistency, and adherence to recognised workmanship standards.
Work is carried out to IPC-A-610 (Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies) and IPC-7711/7721 rework and repair standards.
Why SolderLab
There’s a huge gap between hobby soldering and full contract manufacturing.
Many people only need:
- A handful of prototype boards
- A pre-production run
- A replacement chip soldered
- A small batch build
- A precise repair that big shops won’t touch
SolderLab fills that space — offering professional workmanship, without minimum order quantities or long delays.
What We Do
We provide reliable, carefully assembled boards for:
- Prototypes
- Short production runs
- Pilot builds
- Simple SMD + through-hole assembly
- Micro-soldering of single components
- Small rework jobs
All work is carried out by hand, under magnification, using a fully ESD-safe setup.
You supply the PCBs and components — we assemble everything to your specification and return boards that are clean, inspected, and ready to test.
Our Approach
We focus on:
✔ Precision
Every joint is inspected, cleaned, and made to last.
✔ Communication
We’ll contact you directly to confirm requirements, package handling, and any special instructions before we begin.
✔ Fast turnaround
Because SolderLab is a small, dedicated studio, we can often offer faster turnaround than larger assembly services where suitable.
✔ Honest capabilities
We specialise in simple and moderate-complexity boards — the type most engineers need for early-stage testing, demos, or small-batch production.
We don’t take on BGA or high-density automated SMT (yet), and we will always be upfront about whether your project is a good fit.
Let’s Work Together
If you have a project coming up — big or small — we would love to help.
