Why Choose RA Steelworks for Your Project?

RA Steelworks is the premier choice for professional steelworks and coded welding across Southampton, Berkshire, Surrey, and West Sussex. We provide fully certified, CE-marked structural steel solutions tailored to the construction, marine, and industrial sectors.

Our team is UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1 Execution Class 2 (EXC2), ensuring that every beam, frame, and weld meets the strictest UK safety and quality standards. Whether you require bespoke metal fabrication, complex structural frames, or emergency marine repairs, we combine decades of expertise with a commitment to precision and local reliability.

Certified expertise that keeps your project on the right side of Building Regs

Ever wondered why your building control officer is so particular about where your steel comes from? It's because structural integrity isn't something you can compromise on. Unlike a general metal worker, we are UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1 and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2). This means every structural beam or portal frame that leaves our workshop is CE-marked and fully compliant with UK law. We use coded welders who have been rigorously tested to ensure their work meets the highest standards. When you choose us, you aren't just getting a piece of iron; you're getting a certified product that will sail through inspections and keep your building safe for decades.

Precision structural steel for extensions and commercial frames

Most of the builders we talk to tell us that the biggest stress on-site is waiting for the steel to arrive, only to find it's a few millimetres off. We hate delays as much as you do. That's why we use CNC profiling and precision cutting to ensure every RSJ, Universal Beam (UB), and Parallel Flange Channel (PFC) is exactly to spec. From a single lintel for a kitchen knock-through to complex multi-storey frameworks, we handle the lot. We can even prime and paint your steel or provide a galvanised finish if it's going to be exposed to the elements. Whatever the scale of your project in West Sussex or Hampshire, we've got the capacity to deliver.

Coded welding services you can rely on

Welding is more than just joining two bits of metal together; it's a science. Our coded welders are specialists in MIG, TIG, and Stick welding, working with mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium. This certification is crucial for any load-bearing joint where failure simply isn't an option. We work to strict Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS), ensuring that every bead we lay is as strong as the parent metal itself. Whether it's high-pressure pipework or a critical joint in a commercial mezzanine floor, we bring the same level of technical precision to every single spark.

Specialist marine fabrication and ship repair in Southampton

Being based in the maritime heart of the UK, we've developed a real knack for marine fabrication. The sea is a harsh environment, and it takes a specific type of expertise to build and repair metalwork that can withstand constant salt and spray. We provide dockside and on-board repairs for everything from private vessels to commercial ships. If you've got a hull that needs patching or a superstructure that requires modification, our mobile units can be on-site quickly to get you back in the water. We understand that in the marine world, downtime is expensive, so we work efficiently without ever cutting corners on safety.

Custom metalwork and bespoke architectural features

Sometimes the standard off-the-shelf options just don't fit. Maybe you're looking for a feature staircase that makes a statement in a new hallway, or perhaps you need some bespoke balustrades that look great while keeping everyone safe. Our custom metalwork service is all about taking your vision and making it a reality. We've fabricated everything from made-to-measure gates and railings to intricate architectural brackets. If you can draw it, we can probably build it. We love a challenge, so if your project in Berkshire or Surrey requires a bit of creative thinking, we're the team to talk to.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our certified steel fabrication, coded welding, and structural steelworks in Southampton, Berkshire, Surrey and West Sussex .

What is BS EN 1090-1 and why does it matter for my project?

+

This is a legal requirement for any structural steel used in the UK. It proves that the steel has been fabricated in a workshop that follows strict quality control. Because we are accredited to Execution Class 2 (EXC2), our steel is cleared for use in most residential and commercial buildings. Using a non-certified fabricator can lead to serious issues with building control and insurance.

What exactly is a coded welder?

+

A coded welder has passed a specific practical test witnessed by an independent examiner. This test proves they can produce welds of a high enough quality to meet international standards. For structural or load-bearing work, using a coded welder is often a requirement to satisfy safety regulations.

Do you handle small residential jobs like house extensions?

+

Yes, we do. We help many homeowners and local builders who just need one or two "steel goalposts" or a single beam for a kitchen knock-through. We provide the same level of care and certification for a single RSJ as we do for a large industrial frame.

Can you work from my structural engineer’s drawings?

+

Absolutely. We prefer to work from professional drawings to make sure everything is fabricated exactly as your engineer intended. If you are in the early stages, we can also talk through the practicalities of the design to help you find the most cost-effective way to build it.

Which areas of the South Coast do you cover?

+

While we are based in Southampton, we regularly deliver and work on-site across Hampshire, Dorset, and Wiltshire. We also frequently take on projects in Berkshire, Surrey, and West Sussex. If you are unsure if we cover your area, just give us a call.

What materials do you work with?

+

Our workshop is set up for mild steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminium. This allows us to handle everything from heavy structural beams to decorative stainless steel handrails and lightweight aluminium components.

Do you offer on-site welding or just workshop fabrication?

+

We offer both. While most of our fabrication happens in our controlled workshop environment, we have mobile units for site installations, modifications, and emergency repairs.
