Why Choose RA Steelworks

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

Why BS EN 1090-1 and Execution Class 2 matter for your project

Choosing the right welder isn't just about finding someone with a steady hand; it's about legal compliance and safety. We are UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1 and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2). This sounds technical, but for you, it means our materials, our workshop processes, and our welders are regularly audited to ensure every joint is safe and compliant. If you're a builder or architect in Hampshire, you'll know that building control and insurance companies now demand this level of certification for any structural application. Without it, you're not just risking the structure—you're risking the paperwork too.

Multi-process welding tailored to your specific needs

Every project has its own unique challenges. A delicate stainless steel balustrade for a riverside home in Fordingbridge requires a completely different touch than a heavy-duty RSJ for a barn conversion. That's why our welders are experts in multiple processes. We use TIG welding for those ultra-clean, aesthetic finishes on aluminium and stainless steel, while our MIG and MMA (Stick) welding are the workhorses for structural steel fabrication and heavy industrial repairs. By following strict Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS), we ensure that every weld is consistent, deep-penetrating, and built to last.

Mobile site welding when you can't come to the workshop

We know that sometimes the job is fixed in place. If a piece of plant machinery breaks down in a field or a structural beam needs a last-minute modification on-site, you can't exactly bring it to us. Our fully equipped mobile welding units cover a 25-mile radius around Fordingbridge, bringing our certified expertise directly to you. From emergency metal repairs and alterations to on-site marine fabrication and ship repair, we arrive ready to work. It's about being reliable and local, ensuring your project doesn't grind to a halt because of a snapped bracket or a design change.

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.
