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

Structural steelwork that keeps projects moving

We know that site delays cost money, and waiting for steel is the last thing you need. That's why we focus on realistic lead times and clear communication. From our workshop, we supply and fabricate everything from Universal Beams (UB) and Columns (UC) to bespoke portal frames and mezzanine floors. If you're a builder working on a residential loft conversion or a homeowner tackling a renovation, we can provide the 'builders' steel' you need to get the job done. Every beam we produce is CE-marked, ensuring it complies with Part A of the UK Building Regulations. It's about more than just metal; it's about making sure your structure is safe, solid, and built to last for decades.

Certified coded welding for total peace of mind

Not all welds are created equal, especially when they're load-bearing. Have you ever seen a weld that looks messy or, worse, shows signs of cracking? That's exactly what we prevent. Our team consists of highly skilled coded welders, certified to BS EN ISO 9606 standards. This means we've been independently tested to prove we can deliver high-integrity welds that stand up to immense pressure. We're proficient in MIG, TIG, and Stick welding, allowing us to work with mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium. Whether we're joining heavy-duty structural sections in the workshop or performing a precision repair on-site, we follow strict Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS) to ensure every joint is perfect.

Specialist marine fabrication for the South Coast

Being based in Sandown means we're never far from the water, and we've become experts in the unique demands of the marine industry. Saltwater and sea air are incredibly harsh on metal, requiring a specific level of expertise to manage. We provide comprehensive ship repair and marine fabrication services for both commercial and private vessels. Need a hull repair, a new deck component, or a custom-built marine structure? We've got you covered. Our mobile welding units are frequently seen at docksides across the Isle of Wight, providing fast, efficient repairs that get vessels back in the water without unnecessary downtime. We understand that in the maritime world, every hour spent in port is an hour of lost revenue.

Bespoke metalwork and precision CNC cutting

Sometimes a standard beam just won't cut it. If you have a unique architectural vision or a specific industrial problem, our bespoke fabrication service is the answer. Imagine you're designing a custom staircase for a modern home or need a very specific bracket for a piece of plant machinery. We can take your drawings or even just a rough idea and turn them into reality. With our CNC plasma and oxy-fuel cutting capabilities, we can profile steel plate with incredible accuracy. From intricate balustrades and handrails to heavy-duty industrial mezzanines, we handle the entire process from the initial design support right through to the final installation on your site.

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.
