Why Choose RA Steelworks

Certified Coded Welding & Steelworks in Southampton, Berkshire, Surrey and West Sussex

Why coded welding is non-negotiable for your safety

Imagine you’ve just finished a major house extension or a commercial build, only for building control to ask for your welding certifications. It’s a nightmare scenario we’ve seen too often. Because we’re UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1 and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2), you don't have to worry about that. This means our processes and our team are audited every six months to make sure every weld—whether it's a simple fillet or a complex butt weld—meets the highest UK standards. It’s about more than just ticking boxes; it’s about making sure your structure stays standing for decades to come. Most site managers we talk to say the peace of mind they get from our Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS) is worth its weight in gold.

Keeping the Solent’s marine industry moving

Being based in East Cowes, we know exactly how much the marine industry means to the Island. Saltwater is a tough customer, and marine welding needs to be even tougher. We specialise in marine fabrication and ship repair, handling everything from hull patches to internal structural frameworks. Our welders are skilled in MIG, TIG, and MMA processes, working with mild steel, stainless, and aluminium. If you’ve got a vessel that needs urgent attention at the yard or dockside, we’re the ones to call. We understand that every hour a boat is out of the water is money down the drain, so we work efficiently to get you back on the Solent without cutting corners.

Structural steel for local builders and homeowners

Need an RSJ for a kitchen knock-through or a full set of steel beams for a new loft conversion? We’ve got you covered. We don't just do the big industrial stuff; we’re just as happy helping out local builders with bespoke steel fabrication. From universal columns to custom-made steel staircases and balustrades, we fabricate it all in our workshop and can deliver it straight to your site. Because we handle the cutting, drilling, and welding in-house, we can keep a tight eye on quality control. It’s a lot easier to get the job done right the first time when you’re dealing with a team that understands the local building landscape here on the Isle of Wight.

Mobile welding units that come to your site

Sometimes, the work can’t come to the workshop. Maybe it's a mezzanine floor that needs final adjustments or a piece of heavy plant machinery that’s snapped a bracket on-site. That’s where our mobile site welding comes in. We’ll bring the kit to you, anywhere within a 25-mile radius of East Cowes. Our mobile units are fully equipped for on-site repairs and alterations, meaning we can handle the tricky jobs that cropped up at the last minute. We’re fully insured and follow strict safety protocols, so you can just point us at the problem and let us get on with it while you focus on the rest of the build.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our certified coded welding and structural steelwork services in Southampton, Berkshire, Surrey and West Sussex , Berkshire, Surrey, and West Sussex.

What exactly is coded welding and why does it matter?

+

A coded welder is someone who has passed a specific practical test to a recognised standard, such as BS EN ISO 9606. In Southampton, many structural and marine projects require coded welding to meet insurance and safety laws. It proves the welder can produce high-quality, defect-free welds that can hold heavy loads.

Why should I look for BS EN 1090-1 and EXC2 certification?

+

Since 2014, it has been a legal requirement for structural steel used in the UK to be CE/UKCA marked. BS EN 1090-1 shows that the fabricator follows a strict quality control system. Execution Class 2 (EXC2) is the standard for most buildings. Using a certified company like us makes sure your project stays on the right side of the law.

Can you provide on-site welding for construction projects in Hampshire?

+

Yes, we have mobile welding units that come directly to your site. This is ideal for steelwork that needs to be joined during the build or for making repairs to heavy plant machinery. We bring all the necessary safety equipment and tools to handle the job in situ.

Do you offer TIG welding for stainless steel and aluminium?

+

Yes, we do. While MIG welding is great for heavy steel frames, TIG welding is much better for thinner or more delicate metals like aluminium and stainless steel. It provides a very clean, strong finish that is perfect for marine parts or architectural metalwork.

How do I get a price for my steel fabrication project?

+

The easiest way is to give us a call or send over your structural drawings. We look at the materials needed, the complexity of the fabrication, and any site requirements to give you a clear, no-obligation quote. We work with both large contractors and private homeowners.
