Why Choose RA Steelworks

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

Certified structural steel for total peace of mind

Ever worry about your steelwork passing the eagle-eyed building control officer? We've got you covered. We're fully accredited to BS EN 1090-1 and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2). In plain English, that means every beam, column, and post leaving our workshop is CE-marked and fully compliant with UK Building Regulations. It's the gold standard for safety. We supply 'builders' steel' that architects and structural engineers trust, ensuring your home extension or new unit is built on a solid, legal foundation. Why risk your project with uncertified steel when you can have the paperwork and the quality to back it up? If you need Universal Beams (UB) or Universal Columns (UC) that are cut, drilled, and primed to perfection, we're the team to call.

Expert coded welding you can depend on

Welding isn't just about sticking two bits of metal together; it's about the integrity of the joint, especially when it's load-bearing. Our team consists of highly skilled coded welders who are certified to the highest industry standards. We're experts in MIG, TIG, and Stick welding, working with mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium every single day. Think of us as the specialists who ensure those critical connections in your portal frame or mezzanine floor are rock solid. We follow strict Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS), so you know the craftmanship is consistent and reliable. Whether it's a precise TIG weld on a stainless steel balustrade or a heavy-duty Stick weld on a construction site, we bring the same level of care and precision to every spark.

Marine fabrication for Southampton's maritime community

Being based in a port city like Southampton, we've developed a real knack for marine steelwork. Saltwater is a tough environment, and it takes a specific kind of expertise to handle ship repairs and marine fabrication properly. We provide dockside and on-board welding repairs for hulls, decks, and superstructures, helping vessel operators get back on the water without lengthy delays. Our coded welders are experienced in the unique demands of maritime structures, from simple modifications to complex repairs. We know that downtime in the shipping industry is expensive, so we've geared our service to be responsive and efficient, right when you need us most.

Bespoke metalwork tailored to your design

Sometimes a standard beam just won't cut it. Maybe you're looking for a custom-made steel staircase that makes a statement in a new office, or perhaps you need a specific set of safety balustrades for a commercial mezzanine. If you can sketch it out or provide a drawing, we can build it. Our custom metal fabrication service is all about flexibility. We work closely with builders and designers to create made-to-measure solutions, from intricate architectural features to robust industrial platforms. We also offer precision CNC plasma and oxy-fuel cutting, meaning we can profile steel plates to your exact specifications with a clean, professional finish every time.

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.
