Why Choose RA Steelworks

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

Certified structural steel that keeps building control happy

There's nothing worse than getting halfway through a project only to have building control question your materials. As a BS EN 1090-1 accredited fabricator, we provide fully certified, CE-marked structural steel that meets all UK Building Regulations. We work to Execution Class 2 (EXC2), which is the standard for most structural work in the UK. This means our workshop processes, our materials, and our team are all independently audited. Whether it's a single universal beam for a home extension or a complete portal frame for a new industrial unit, you'll receive all the necessary paperwork to keep your project compliant and your surveyor satisfied.

Reliable builders steel and RSJs for home projects

Are you planning a loft conversion or opening up your kitchen with those popular bi-fold doors? Most homeowners we speak to in Bournemouth are looking for someone who can deliver 'builders steel' without the headache. We specialise in supplying and fabricating RSJs, columns, and posts that are ready for immediate site installation. We can handle splice connections for those tricky spots where access is tight, and we'll ensure everything is primed and finished exactly as your architect specified. We understand that on-site delays cost you money, so we pride ourselves on being there when we say we will, keeping your project on track and your builders working.

Specialist coded welding for jobs where strength is everything

When it comes to load-bearing joints, a standard weld isn't always enough. That's where our coded welding expertise comes in. Our welders are certified to the highest industry standards, meaning they've been tested and approved for high-integrity applications. We're skilled in MIG, TIG, and Stick welding, allowing us to work with mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium with equal precision. If you've got a critical repair on a piece of heavy machinery or need structural connections that can handle significant stress, you can count on our team to deliver welds that are strong, clean, and fully compliant with WPS (Weld Procedure Specifications).

Custom metalwork that's built to last and looks the part

Sometimes off-the-shelf components just won't cut it for a project. We love a challenge, and our workshop is fully equipped for bespoke metalwork that requires a bit more thought and craftsmanship. Think custom-made steel staircases that become a feature of a building, or safety balustrades and handrails that are both functional and aesthetic. From mezzanine floors that double your warehouse space to one-off brackets and architectural features, if you've got a drawing or even just a rough idea, we can build it. We combine traditional fabrication skills with modern technology like CNC plasma cutting to ensure every part is manufactured to the millimetre.

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.
