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

Certified structural steelwork for your peace of mind

When it comes to the bones of a building, there’s no room for guesswork. You’ve likely heard about BS EN 1090-1 and CE-marking, and while they might sound like bureaucratic jargon, they’re actually your guarantee that the steel holding up your roof is safe. We’re fully accredited to Execution Class 2 (EXC2), which means our processes and materials are independently audited to meet strict UK standards. Imagine you're halfway through a renovation and building control asks for your steel certification—with us, that’s never a headache. We supply everything from Universal Beams (UB) and Columns (UC) to complex portal frames, ensuring every splice connection and bolt hole is exactly where your structural engineer intended. We make sure your project stays on track and fully compliant with Part A of the Building Regulations.

Coded welding that guarantees a solid finish

Ever worry about the integrity of a weld on a critical load-bearing joint? It’s a common concern for site managers and architects alike. Our welders are 'coded,' which is a fancy way of saying they’ve passed rigorous tests to prove they can produce welds of the highest standard. We work across all the major processes, including MIG, TIG, and Stick welding, choosing the right method for the material at hand—be it mild steel, stainless, or aluminium. Whether it’s high-precision TIG work for an architectural feature or heavy-duty Stick welding for a structural repair, we ensure the penetration and strength are exactly where they need to be. It’s about more than just joining two bits of metal; it’s about making sure that joint lasts a lifetime.

Specialist marine fabrication for Lymington’s boat owners

Being based in Lymington means we’re never far from the water, and we know exactly what the salt air does to metal. Our marine fabrication and ship repair services are designed to handle the unique challenges of the coastal environment. From dockside repairs to bespoke components for commercial vessels, we provide durable solutions that stand up to the elements. Have you noticed some corrosion on a hull fitting or do you need a custom-made bracket for your deck? We’re experienced in working with marine-grade stainless steel and aluminium, providing the specialist welding required to keep your vessel seaworthy. We’re often out at the local marinas handling emergency repairs, so we know how important it is to get you back on the water quickly.

Custom metalwork designed for your specific space

Sometimes, a standard off-the-shelf solution just won't cut it. Maybe you're looking for a bespoke staircase that makes a statement in a new build, or perhaps you need some safety balustrades that don't spoil the view. We love getting stuck into custom fabrication projects where we can turn a rough sketch or a detailed CAD drawing into a reality. Our workshop handles everything from intricate architectural metalwork to heavy-duty industrial mezzanines. We've helped local businesses expand their storage with custom-built floor levels and helped homeowners finish their loft conversions with perfectly fitted steel stairs. If you've got an idea but aren't quite sure how to make it work in steel, we're always happy to offer some practical advice on the best way to build it.

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.
