Key clarifications regarding mill certifications, BOQ commercial evaluation, Incoterms delivery, and statutory trade compliance.
Every batch of industrial materials supplied by PETRA is accompanied by authentic Mill Test Certificates (MTC) strictly compliant with EN 10204 Type 3.1 (or Type 3.2 on client request). These verify chemical heat analysis, mechanical tensile and yield properties, impact toughness, hydrostatic pressure testing, and non-destructive testing (NDT).
Contractors and engineering procurement teams upload their BOQs in .xlsx, .csv, or .pdf format through our secure BOQ intake portal. Our technical sales engineers review schedule specifications, cross-reference dimensional standards (ASTM, BS EN, DIN, API), aggregate volume across vetted British and European mills, and return itemized commercial proposals within 24 to 48 hours.
We operate under Incoterms 2020, offering EXW (Ex Works European/UK factory gate), FOB (Free on Board UK/European hub ports), CFR/CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight to Middle Eastern and African seaports), and full DDP (Delivered Duty Paid directly to project laydown areas and job sites in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Oman).
PETRA TRADING & CONTRACTING LTD is an active private limited company incorporated in England & Wales under Companies House Registration Number 16660036 (Incorporated 19 August 2025). Its registered office is 61 Bridge Street, Kington, Herefordshire, HR5 3DJ, United Kingdom. Official SIC codes include 43220 (Plumbing, heat and AC), 43999 (Specialised construction), 47910 (B2B mail order/Internet), and 63120 (Web portals).
Yes. One of PETRA's core strengths is multi-commodity consolidation. Rather than issuing dozens of separate purchase orders, contractors can place consolidated packages with PETRA spanning carbon steel pipes, valves, GRP water storage tanks, insulated sandwich panels, and cable pulling equipment, with synchronized export crating and containerized freight delivery.
We facilitate pre-shipment third-party inspections (TPI) with internationally recognized agencies such as Bureau Veritas, SGS, DNV, and TUV. Inspection stages include witness hydrostatic pressure testing, ultrasonic/radiographic weld inspection, positive material identification (PMI), and paint/coating dry film thickness (DFT) verification.
Send your BOQ, drawings or specification to our procurement team. We review metallurgical standards, verify mill capacity, and return firm commercial pricing.
