Why Choose RA Steelworks

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

Certified steel that keeps building inspectors happy

Have you ever worried about a building inspector questioning the paperwork on your structural steel? It's a common headache, but one you won't have with us. We're fully UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1 and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2). In plain English, that means our workshop processes and our materials are independently audited. Every piece of structural steel we supply is CE-marked, giving you total peace of mind that it meets UK Building Regulations Part A. It’s about more than just a certificate; it's about knowing your build is safe and your investment is protected.

Builders' steel and RSJs for local projects

Most of the builders we talk to in Ferndown and Wimborne aren't looking for fuss – they're looking for accuracy. If you need a single RSJ for a kitchen knock-through or a complex set of Universal Beams (UB) for a new build, we’ve got you covered. We specialise in what we call 'builders’ steel' – the essential lintels, columns, and splices that keep a project moving. We can work directly from your structural engineer's drawings to ensure every hole is drilled exactly where it needs to be, saving you a world of frustration when it comes to site assembly.

Expert coded welding for high-stakes jobs

When a weld is load-bearing, 'good enough' just doesn't cut it. Our team consists of highly skilled coded welders who are certified to work on critical joints where strength is non-negotiable. We're proficient in MIG, TIG, and Stick welding, allowing us to work with mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium with equal precision. From heavy-duty portal frames for industrial units to delicate architectural features, we follow strict Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS). It's the kind of expertise that ensures your metalwork won't just look the part, but will stand the test of time and pressure.

Mobile welding units that come to you

Sometimes the job is too big to move, or something snaps on-site and needs an urgent fix. That's where our mobile welding service comes in handy. We can bring our workshop expertise directly to your site in Ferndown or the surrounding Dorset area. Imagine you're mid-build and a connection doesn't quite line up, or a piece of plant machinery needs a structural repair – we can be there to sort it. Our vans are fully equipped for on-site fabrication and repairs, meaning you don't have to deal with the downtime of sending parts back to a factory.

Bespoke metalwork for your home or business

Not every job is a massive structural beam. Sometimes you need something a bit more tailored, like a made-to-measure steel staircase for a mezzanine floor or a set of custom balustrades that look as good as they perform. We love getting stuck into bespoke metalwork projects. If you've got a design in your head or a rough sketch on a napkin, we can help bring it to life. We handle everything from CNC plasma cutting for intricate shapes to the final finish, whether that's hot-dip galvanising to stop rust or a sleek powder-coated colour.

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.
