Expert Coded Welding in New Alresford, Hampshire

We often get asked, "What's the big deal with being coded?" Simply put, it's your guarantee that the person doing the work has been independently tested and verified. Our team at RA Steelworks is proud to be UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1 and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2) structural steelwork. This isn't just paperwork for the sake of it—it's what your architect, structural engineer, and building control officer will insist on seeing. If a weld fails on a load-bearing beam, the consequences are unthinkable. By choosing a coded welder, you're making sure your insurance is valid and your structure is safe. Why risk the integrity of your project with an uncertified hobbyist when you can have the peace of mind that comes with audited expertise?

Sometimes the work can't come to our workshop, so we bring the expertise to you. We operate a fully equipped mobile welding service across a 25-mile radius of New Alresford, covering Winchester, Alton, and the surrounding Hampshire countryside. Imagine you're mid-way through a site installation and a critical bracket doesn't line up, or perhaps a piece of plant machinery has cracked under the strain. You don't want to be waiting days for a solution. We're used to working in the wind and rain on-site, providing high-quality Stick (MMA) or MIG welding right where the action is. It's about keeping your project moving without compromising on the quality of the weld.

Different metals and applications demand different approaches, and we've spent decades mastering them all. Need a clean, aesthetic finish on a stainless steel balustrade for a modern home? Our TIG welding is exactly what's required for those precise, delicate joints. Tackling a heavy-duty industrial frame? Our MIG and MMA processes offer the deep penetration and strength needed for thick carbon steel. We work across a huge range of materials, including aluminium, stainless steel, and mild steel. Because our welders follow strict Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS), you know that every pass of the torch is done according to a proven, tested method. It's this technical rigour that sets RA Steelworks apart from the rest.

Living so close to the coast, we've naturally become experts in the marine sector too. From dockside repairs in the Solent to maintaining vessels in local boatyards, we understand the unique challenges that salt water and harsh environments pose to metalwork. We provide specialised ship repair services, hull welding, and marine fabrication that meets IACS standards. But it's not all boats and anchors; we're just as comfortable fabricating mezzanine floors for warehouses or bespoke architectural features for high-end properties in Winchester. No matter the industry, if it involves high-integrity steelwork, we have the tools and the talent to handle it.
