Expert Steel Beams Rsj in Wickham, Hampshire

<p>One of the biggest headaches for any property owner is getting that final sign-off from building control. Did you know that structural steel for buildings must, by law, be CE-marked or UKCA-marked? Many general stockholders simply cut steel to length without the proper certification, which can lead to massive delays and extra costs down the line. We’re different. RA Steelworks is a <strong>BS EN 1090-1 accredited fabricator</strong> approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2).</p><p>What does that actually mean for you? It means every beam we supply to your Wickham site has a clear paper trail, from the mill it was rolled in to the workshop where it was fabricated. It means our processes are audited, our materials are verified, and our welders are certified. When the building inspector asks for your steelwork certification, you can hand it over with total confidence. We believe in doing things right the first time, so you aren't left with a structural nightmare six months into your build.</p>

<p>Every project is unique, and sometimes a standard beam off the shelf just won’t do. Perhaps you need a specific <strong>Parallel Flange Channel (PFC)</strong> for a lintel, or maybe your loft conversion requires complex <strong>Universal Columns (UC)</strong> with pre-drilled holes and welded base plates. We stock a huge range of sections and can fabricate them precisely to your structural calculations. Most of our clients in the Winchester area come to us because we can handle the tricky stuff that standard suppliers won’t touch.</p><ul><li><strong>Universal Beams (UB):</strong> The classic choice for supporting floors and roofs.</li><li><strong>Universal Columns (UC):</strong> Perfect for vertical supports where space is at a premium.</li><li><strong>Splices & Bolted Connections:</strong> Essential when a beam is too long to fit into a house in one piece.</li><li><strong>Red Oxide or Primed Finish:</strong> Protecting your steel from the elements before it's boxed in.</li></ul><p>We can supply your steel in a simple red oxide primer or a zinc-rich finish, depending on what your site requires. If you need holes drilled for timber plates or complex plates welded for a corner connection, our workshop team has the tools and the expertise to handle it all in-house.</p>

<p>Sometimes the hardest part of the job isn’t getting the steel to the site; it’s getting it into position. Steel is heavy, unforgiving, and requires a steady hand to install correctly. Our team includes <strong>coded welders</strong> who are specialists in high-integrity structural joins. If your project requires on-site welding for a splice or a specific structural alteration, we can bring our mobile units directly to you in Wickham or Winchester.</p><p>We pride ourselves on being more than just a delivery service. We’re fabricators who understand the practicalities of a building site. If a beam needs a slight modification on-site or a last-minute bracket welded on, we’ve got the gear and the skills to sort it out then and there. It’s this flexibility that has made us the go-to partner for many of Hampshire’s leading building contractors. We know that on a busy site, time is money, and we’re here to make sure you don’t waste either.</p>
