Why Choose RA Steelworks

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

Certified structural steel for total peace of mind

It’s a question we get a lot: does certification really matter? The short answer is yes, especially when it comes to the bones of your building. We are UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1 and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2). This sounds like technical jargon, but what it actually means for you is that every beam, column, and splice connection we produce is fully CE-marked and audited. When your building control officer walks on-site in Ringwood, they'll want to see that your steel meets UK standards. With us, you get that paperwork and the confidence that your load-bearing structures are exactly as strong as they're supposed to be.

Coded welding for critical joints and repairs

Ever wondered what makes a 'coded' welder different? It’s about more than just a clean bead. Our welders are certified to the highest industry standards, meaning they've been tested and approved to perform high-integrity welds that can handle significant stress. We work across MIG, TIG, and Stick welding processes, choosing the right tool for the job whether we're in the workshop or out on a windy site. From carbon steel to aluminium and stainless steel, we ensure every joint is as robust as the metal itself. If you've got a critical repair or a structural connection that simply cannot fail, you want a coded welder on the job.

Quick turnaround on builders' steel and RSJs

We know how it goes—you're ready to knock down that internal wall but the steel hasn't arrived, and now your builders are standing around. We pride ourselves on being reliable and fast for the local Ringwood trade. We supply made-to-measure universal beams (UB) and universal columns (UC) with all the necessary plates and holes pre-drilled. If you need a specific primer finish or hot-dip galvanising to protect against the damp Hampshire weather, we can handle that too. Just send over your structural drawings and we'll get a quote back to you without the usual corporate run-around.

Bespoke metalwork for homes and businesses

Sometimes a standard beam just won't cut it. Maybe you're looking for a feature staircase that makes a statement, or perhaps you need custom-made balustrades for a balcony overlooking the New Forest. We love the tricky jobs. Our team can take your initial sketches or formal designs and turn them into functional, beautiful metalwork. We've built everything from mezzanine floors for local warehouses to intricate architectural features for modern homes. If you can dream it up, we can likely weld it, cut it, and install it for you.

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.
