Expert Steel Fabrication in Whitchurch, Hampshire

There’s nothing worse than a building inspector shaking their head at your steelwork. That’s why we take our certifications so seriously. RA Steelworks is fully UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1 and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2). In plain English? It means our steel is CE-marked and meets every safety regulation required for structural use. You won't have to worry about compliance or paperwork headaches. We handle everything to ensure your columns, beams, and portal frames are 100% legal and safe. It's about giving you and your architect peace of mind that the bones of your building are solid.

When it comes to load-bearing joints, a 'tidy' weld isn't enough—it has to be a certified one. Our coded welders are trained to the highest industry standards, specifically BS EN ISO 9606, meaning we’re qualified to work on high-pressure and high-integrity structures. We use MIG, TIG, and Stick welding depending on what the job calls for. Imagine you’re installing a heavy mezzanine floor or a complex staircase; you need to know those welds won't fail. We provide the WPS (Weld Procedure Specifications) and the expertise to ensure every bead is perfect. It’s the difference between a job that looks okay and a job that’s built to last a lifetime.

Time is money on a building site. We’ve heard plenty of stories about projects in Hampshire grinding to a halt because the steel hasn't arrived. We work differently. We focus on transparent lead times so you can plan your trades accordingly. From standard universal columns to custom-fabricated splice connections, we get your 'builders' steel' ready and delivered when you need it. We can even handle the drilling and priming in-house, so the steel arrives on-site in Whitchurch ready to be bolted straight into place. Need a quick quote for a few lintels? Just let us know the sizes and we’ll get back to you quickly.

Sometimes off-the-shelf just won't cut it. Perhaps you're looking for a contemporary steel staircase that makes a statement in your hallway, or maybe you need some custom-made balustrades for a balcony project. We love the technical challenge of bespoke metalwork. Our team can work from your rough sketches or detailed CAD drawings to create something that fits your space perfectly. We work with mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium, offering finishes like hot-dip galvanising or powder coating to keep everything looking sharp. It’s about merging functionality with a bit of local craftsmanship.
