Why Choose RA Steelworks

Expert Steelworks & Fabrication in Southampton, Berkshire, Surrey and West Sussex

Coded welding for total peace of mind

Why settle for 'good enough' when it comes to structural integrity? When we talk about coded welding, we're talking about a level of certification that guarantees every joint and seam meets the highest industry standards. Our welders aren't just skilled; they're fully certified to BS EN standards. This is vital for any load-bearing work where safety is non-negotiable. Imagine you're overseeing a major build—the last thing you want is a building control officer questioning your welds. With our team, you get full compliance and the paperwork to prove it. From MIG and TIG to robust Stick welding, we use the right process for the job, ensuring your structural steelwork is as strong as it is precise. It's the kind of quality that lets you sleep better at night knowing the job's been done properly.

Builders' steel for extensions and lofts

Are you a local builder or a homeowner planning a renovation? Most of the people we speak to just want their steel delivered on time and cut to the exact millimetre. We specialise in what we call 'builders' steel'—everything from standard RSJs and Universal Beams (UB) to more complex columns and splice connections. We know that site delays cost money, so we focus on quick turnarounds and transparent lead times. If you've just noticed your plans call for a specific load-bearing lintel or a set of custom plates, we can get them fabricated and ready for you in no time. We don't just drop off the metal and leave you to it, either; we can help with advice on the best sections for your specific layout, ensuring your extension or loft conversion is built on a solid foundation.

Specialist marine fabrication and ship repairs

Being based in the maritime heart of the UK means we've developed a real knack for marine-grade metalwork. Saltwater is a tough environment, and it takes a specific kind of expertise to fabricate parts that can stand up to the elements. We offer a full range of marine fabrication and ship repair services, from fixing up hulls and decks to creating bespoke components for private vessels and commercial ships. If you've got a boat in the dock that needs urgent welding repairs, our team can be there quickly to minimize your downtime. We're well-versed in working with stainless steel and aluminium, which are essential for those high-corrosion environments. It’s specialized work, but it’s something we’ve done for years for the South Coast's busy shipping and leisure marine industries.

Custom metalwork built to your specs

Do you have a unique design that needs a professional touch? Sometimes a standard catalogue part just won't work. That's where our bespoke metalwork service comes in. If you can draw it—even if it's just a sketch on a notepad—we can probably build it. We've created everything from decorative architectural features and made-to-measure brackets to complex industrial frames. We work with a variety of materials, including mild steel and carbon steel, and can finish your items with hot-dip galvanising or powder coating to make sure they look great and last for decades. It’s all about bringing your ideas to life with the same level of care we’d put into a major structural build. Whether it's a one-off prototype or a small production run, we're happy to get stuck in.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our structural steel fabrication and coded welding services in Southampton, Berkshire, Surrey and West Sussex .

Do I need a certified fabricator for my home extension?

+

Yes, any structural steel used in a building project must be CE-marked and fabricated by a company with the correct accreditation, such as BS EN 1090-1. This confirms the steel is safe and the welds are up to standard. Using an uncertified fabricator could cause serious problems with building control and your property insurance.

What is the difference between a standard welder and a coded welder?

+

A coded welder has passed specific practical tests witnessed by an independent examiner. This certification proves they can produce welds of the highest quality that meet strict British and European standards. For structural or load-bearing steel, using a coded welder is often a legal or safety requirement.

Can you supply steel beams for local builders?

+

We certainly do. We regularly work with local builders in Southampton and Hampshire to supply RSJs and universal beams for extensions and internal wall removals. We can cut, drill, and prime the steel so it is ready for installation as soon as it arrives on your site.

How quickly can you complete a fabrication project?

+

Lead times depend on how complex the job is and our current workshop schedule. However, because we are a local Southampton company, we pride ourselves on being responsive. Once we see your drawings, we can give you a realistic timeframe and stick to it.

Do you offer on-site welding in Southampton?

+

Yes, we have mobile welding equipment that allows us to carry out repairs and installations directly at your location. This is ideal for fixing gates, railings, or structural beams that are already in place.

What materials do you work with?

+

While we specialise in structural mild steel, we are also experts in working with stainless steel and aluminium. This allows us to handle everything from heavy industrial frames to marine components and architectural metalwork.
