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

Certified Structural Steel for Local Builders and Homeowners

If you've ever dealt with building control, you'll know they don't mess about when it comes to structural integrity. That’s why we provide fully CE-marked structural steel that meets the strict BS EN 1090-1 standards. From Universal Beams (UB) and Columns (UC) to custom-made portal frames, everything leaving our workshop is built to last. We often speak to homeowners who are worried about their loft conversion or extension stalling because they can't get the right steel on site. We pride ourselves on being dependable—we’ll supply your 'builders' steel' exactly when you need it, cut to your specific drawings, and finished to your requirements, whether that's a simple primer or hot-dip galvanising to protect against the salty Shanklin air.

Professional Coded Welding for Total Peace of Mind

Not all welds are created equal, especially when they’re supporting a roof over someone's head. Our team consists of highly skilled coded welders, certified to BS EN ISO 9606 standards. This isn't just about having a steady hand; it’s about following strict Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS) to ensure every joint is as strong as the steel itself. We’re qualified for Execution Class 2 (EXC2) work, which is the standard requirement for most structural buildings in the UK. We work across MIG, TIG, and Stick welding processes, meaning we can handle everything from delicate architectural stainless steel balustrades to heavy-duty carbon steel repairs. If it needs to be joined, we’ll make sure it stays joined.

Specialist Marine Fabrication and Coastal Repairs

Living and working in Shanklin means we’re never far from the water, and we know exactly what the marine environment does to metal. Our marine fabrication and ship repair services are designed to keep your vessels and coastal structures in top shape. We handle dockside repairs, hull modifications, and bespoke marine components with the speed and precision that the industry demands. Have you noticed corrosion taking hold on your marine equipment, or do you need a custom-built stainless steel fitting for a boat? We’re experts at working with materials like stainless steel and aluminium that can stand up to the Channel's harsh conditions. We’ll help you minimise downtime and get back on the water as quickly as possible.

Mobile Site Welding and Emergency Repairs on Your Doorstep

Sometimes the work can’t come to the workshop. Maybe a piece of plant machinery has cracked on-site, or a structural beam needs a splice connection adjusted during installation. That’s where our mobile welding units come in. We’ll bring our equipment directly to your site in Shanklin or anywhere else on the Isle of Wight to get the job sorted. It’s all about being practical—we know that site delays cost you money, so we offer a responsive service for on-site fabrication, alterations, and emergency repairs. From fixing a broken gate to complex on-site structural modifications, we’re just a phone call away.

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.
