Why Choose RA Steelworks

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

Getting your structural beams right

Ever walked into a kitchen renovation and seen those massive steel beams holding everything up? Those are RSJs (Rolled Steel Joists), and they're the backbone of most modern extensions. We supply a full range of 'builders' steel', including Universal Beams (UB) and Universal Columns (UC), all cut to your exact measurements. Because we're local to East Cowes, we can often turn things around much faster than companies coming over from the mainland. We'll handle the drilling and welding for splice connections, so when the steel arrives on your site, it's ready to be bolted straight into place without any fuss.

Why certified steel keeps things safe

It's easy to think a piece of steel is just a piece of steel, but when it's holding up your roof, you want to be certain it's up to the task. We're proud to be UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1 standards, which is a bit of a mouthful, but it basically means our materials and processes are independently audited. Because we work to Execution Class 2 (EXC2), all our structural steel is CE-marked (or UKCA-marked). This isn't just about ticking boxes; it's about giving you and your building control officer the peace of mind that every weld and every beam meets strict safety regulations.

Specialist marine fabrication and ship repairs

Being based in a maritime hub like East Cowes, we've naturally become experts in marine fabrication. The salt air and rough sea conditions don't play fair with metal, so you need fabrication that's built to last. We work closely with boatyards and vessel owners on everything from hull repairs to bespoke deck fittings. Our team understands the urgency of ship repair—when your boat is out of the water, every day counts. We offer high-quality welding in stainless steel and aluminium to ensure your marine components can handle whatever the Solent throws at them.

Coded welding that comes to you

Sometimes, you can't bring the job to the workshop. Maybe it's a structural repair on an existing building or a modification that needs to happen right there on the construction site. That's where our mobile site welding service comes in. Our coded welders are certified to BS EN standards, meaning they're qualified to perform high-integrity, load-bearing welds on-site. We're fully equipped for MIG, TIG, and stick welding, so whether we're fixing heavy plant machinery or finishing off a complex portal frame, the quality remains exactly the same as it would be in our own yard.

Custom metalwork for unique Island homes

Not every job is a heavy structural beam. Often, it's the finishing touches that really make a property stand out. We love getting stuck into bespoke metalwork, from sleek steel staircases to custom balustrades that make the most of those Island views. If you have a specific design in mind for a gate, a balcony, or even some architectural metal features, we can help you bring it to life. We use CNC plasma cutting to get incredibly accurate shapes, ensuring that even the most intricate designs are clean and professional.

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.
