Why Choose RA Steelworks

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

Why your project needs a coded welder

Have you ever wondered why building inspectors or insurance companies get so picky about steelwork? It's because a single poor weld can compromise the safety of an entire structure. Using a coded welder isn't just about following rules; it's about making sure your project is built to last. Our team follows specific Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS) for every job. This means every joint we weld on a structural beam or a heavy-duty bracket is performed using a proven, tested method. It keeps your architect happy, your building control officer satisfied, and your site safe. We handle the paperwork and the precision so you can focus on the rest of the build.

Expert welding for every metal

Not all metals are created equal, and they certainly don't weld the same way. That’s why we’ve mastered multiple processes to suit whatever you throw at us. Need a clean, aesthetic finish on some stainless steel or aluminium? Our TIG welding is perfect for those high-detail jobs. For heavy-duty structural steel and larger fabrications, we use MIG or Stick (MMA) welding to get the deep penetration and strength required. From thick carbon steel plates to intricate bespoke metalwork, we have the right kit and the right certifications to handle it. It's all about choosing the right tool for the job to ensure the metal remains as strong as the day it was forged.

Specialist marine and industrial repairs

Southampton’s maritime heritage is in our blood. We know that the salt and sea are unforgiving, which is why our marine fabrication and ship repair services are built on durability. We've worked on everything from commercial vessels in the docks to private boats needing custom modifications. We understand the urgency of marine repairs—every hour your vessel is out of the water is an hour of lost time. Our coded welders are experienced in the high-stakes world of dockside repairs, ensuring that every weld meets IACS standards and keeps you seaworthy. We also support the local industrial sector, fixing heavy machinery and maintaining warehouse structures with the same level of precision.

Mobile welding brought to your site

Sometimes you can't bring the work to our workshop. Maybe a structural beam is already bolted in place, or a piece of plant machinery has broken down in the middle of a site. Don't worry, we'll come to you. Our mobile welding units are fully equipped to handle on-site repairs and installations across Southampton and the surrounding areas. We bring the same level of skill and certification to your site as we do in our controlled workshop environment. It saves you the hassle of transport and keeps your project moving forward without unnecessary delays. If you're stuck with a metalwork emergency, we’re only a phone call away.

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.
