Expert Coded Welding in Horndean, Hampshire

Most of the project managers and architects we speak to in East Hampshire are rightfully concerned about compliance. Since the law changed, all structural steel used in the UK must be CE-marked (or UKCA-marked). We're proud to be UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1, specifically for Execution Class 2 (EXC2). What does that mean for you? It means our workshop, our processes, and our materials are independently audited. If you're building a commercial framework or even a complex residential structure, using a non-certified fabricator could land you in hot water with building control or invalidate your insurance. When you work with us, you'll receive all the necessary documentation to prove your project meets the highest UK safety standards.

Are you looking for a clean, precise finish on stainless steel, or do you need a heavy-duty repair on a piece of industrial machinery? Our team is skilled across all the major welding disciplines. We use MIG (GMAW) for most of our general fabrication and structural work because it's fast and incredibly reliable. For more intricate jobs, like bespoke aluminium metalwork or thin-gauge stainless steel, we switch to TIG (GTAW) welding for that surgical precision. We also haven't forgotten the basics; our Stick (MMA) welding is perfect for on-site repairs around Horndean where the weather might be a bit challenging. Every job we do follows a specific Weld Procedure Specification (WPS), so you know the technique used is the right one for the specific grade of steel we're handling.

Sometimes the job can't come to our workshop. Imagine you're midway through a site build in the New Forest or near Waterlooville and a critical beam needs an alteration. You can't exactly pack up a half-built house and bring it to us. That's why we've invested in fully equipped mobile welding units. We can bring our coded expertise directly to your site, providing on-the-spot repairs, alterations, and installations. From fixing cracked plant machinery to welding on-site structural connections, we're mobile and ready to help. We cover a 25-mile radius around Horndean, including Portsmouth, Petersfield, and Winchester, ensuring you're never left stuck without a certified welder when you need one most.

Being so close to the South Coast, we've developed a deep understanding of the marine industry. Saltwater is a brutal environment for metal, and it takes a specific kind of expertise to ensure marine welds don't succumb to corrosion or fatigue. RA Steelworks Services LTD regularly works on vessel repairs and marine structural steel. Whether it's a simple hull repair or fabricating bespoke components for a commercial vessel, our coded welders understand the high stakes of maritime work. We work with various grades of steel and aluminium to ensure your vessel stays seaworthy and compliant with maritime safety regulations.
