Why Choose RA Steelworks for Professional Metal Repairs and Alterations in Southampton, Berkshire, Surrey and West Sussex?

Structural Steel Fixes for Home Projects

It’s a common scenario: you're halfway through a loft conversion or an extension in Shanklin, and you realise the steel beam you've got doesn't quite fit the new architectural plan. Instead of starting from scratch, we can often perform precise alterations to your existing steelwork. We specialise in modifying Universal Beams (UB) and Columns (UC), ensuring any cuts or welds meet the strict requirements of UK Building Regulations. Because we are UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1 for Execution Class 2, you can rest easy knowing that the structural integrity of your home is in safe hands. We'll work alongside your builders to ensure every plate, bracket, and bolt hole is exactly where it needs to be.

Marine Repairs That Brave the Elements

Living and working in a coastal spot like Shanklin means dealing with the constant threat of corrosion. If your boat’s hull, deck fittings, or marine trailers are starting to show their age, we can help. We work with mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium, using TIG and MIG welding processes to provide clean, high-quality repairs that stand up to the harsh maritime environment. Whether it's a commercial vessel needing dockside attention or a private boat trailer that needs a bit of love, our coded welders ensure every joint is watertight and robust. We understand that time out of the water is money or missed fun, so we aim for a quick turnaround without ever cutting corners.

Hard-Wearing Plant and Machinery Repairs

Anyone in the construction or agricultural trade knows that machinery takes a lot of punishment. Cracked digger buckets, worn-out chassis, or broken brackets on heavy equipment can bring a job to a standstill. That’s where our expertise in 'reverse engineering' and heavy-duty stick welding comes in handy. We can often fabricate replacement parts or reinforce high-stress areas on-site, saving you the massive cost of buying new equipment. We’ve spent years fixing up plant machinery across the Isle of Wight, and we know exactly how to prep and weld heavy-gauge carbon steel to ensure the repair lasts as long as the machine itself.

Bespoke Alterations for Gates and Railings

Maybe you’ve bought a beautiful set of vintage gates that are just a few inches too wide, or perhaps your garden railings have rusted through at the base. You don't have to scrap them. We provide a complete refurbishment and rejuvenation service for architectural metalwork. We can cut down, extend, or reinforce your existing gates and railings, often making them stronger than they were originally. By using precision plasma and oxy-fuel cutting, we can remove damaged sections cleanly before welding in fresh, matching material. It’s a great way to maintain the character of your property while ensuring everything is safe and secure.

Mobile Welding Units That Come to You

Not every repair can be brought to our workshop. If you have a fixed structure, a large mezzanine floor, or a piece of non-road-legal machinery, we’ll bring the workshop to you.

We carry everything needed for high-quality on-site welding and cutting, allowing us to perform emergency repairs or planned alterations wherever you need us.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our specialist metal repairs and alterations in Southampton, Berkshire, Surrey and West Sussex , Berkshire, Surrey, and West Sussex.

Can You Carry Out Mobile Welding and Repairs On-Site?

+

Yes, we bring our equipment directly to you. Many repairs, especially for marine vessels or large construction projects, can't be moved to a workshop. Our mobile units cover the whole Southampton area and beyond. This means we can perform coded welding on-site for structural steel or fix marine components right at the dock. This saves you the hassle of transporting heavy metalwork and keeps your project moving without delays.

Is Your Team Qualified for Structural Steel and Marine Repairs?

+

Every repair we do follows strict safety standards. Our welders are coded, which means they have the specific certifications needed for high-pressure or load-bearing work. This is vital for structural steel alterations in buildings or marine repairs on boats where safety is the top priority. We don't just patch things up; we use the right techniques for the specific metal and application, whether it’s a stainless steel rail or a heavy-duty industrial frame.

What Kinds of Metals Can You Repair or Modify?

+

We have the tools and skills to work with almost any metal. Most of our Southampton clients need help with structural mild steel, but we also specialise in stainless steel and aluminium. Aluminium welding requires a different approach and specific equipment, which we have ready in our workshop. From fixing a boat hull to modifying a bespoke architectural feature, we match our welding process to the material to get the best possible result.
