Why Choose RA Steelworks

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

Builders' Steel and RSJs Delivered Locally

Most builders we speak to in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole tell us the same thing: they need steel that’s ready to slot in without any fuss. We supply CE-marked structural beams, Universal Columns (UC), and Universal Beams (UB) tailored exactly to your architect's drawings. If you've just realised you're a lintel short for a project in Christchurch, or you need a custom-made splice connection for a tricky renovation, we're here to help. We handle the heavy-duty stuff like portal frames for industrial units too, ensuring everything is load-bearing and built to last.

Expert Coded Welding You Can Trust

Safety isn't something you can leave to chance, especially when it comes to the bones of a building. That's why our welders are fully coded to BS EN 1090-1 standards. It’s a bit of a mouthful, but it basically means we're audited and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2) structural steelwork. When we're working on critical joints, you’ll have the peace of mind that comes with certified expertise. From MIG and TIG welding in our workshop to rugged Stick welding on-site, we follow strict Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS) to ensure every bond is as strong as it needs to be.

Bespoke Metalwork for Homes and Business

Ever found yourself looking at a space and thinking it needs something unique? Perhaps it’s a sleek metal staircase for a modern home or a set of safety balustrades for a commercial balcony. We love the challenge of bespoke metalwork. We work with mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium to create functional, good-looking features that fit your space perfectly. We also design and install mezzanine floors, which are a brilliant way for local businesses to double their floor space without the hassle of moving premises.

Specialist Marine Fabrication and Repairs

Being so close to the coast in Christchurch and Bournemouth, we've naturally become experts in the marine world. Saltwater is famously tough on metal, so you need fabrication that can take a beating. We offer dockside and on-board repairs for hulls, decks, and superstructures. Whether it’s an emergency repair to get a vessel back in the water or custom fabrication for a new modification, our team understands the unique demands of the maritime industry. We're often out and about across the local ports, keeping things shipshape for commercial and private owners alike.

Mobile Welding and On-Site Repairs

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.
