Why Choose RA Steelworks

Expert Steel Staircases & Balustrades in Southampton, Berkshire, Surrey and West Sussex

As Southampton's leading metal fabrication specialists, RA Steelworks delivers bespoke, high-quality steel staircases, architectural balustrades, and handrails. We provide fully certified, CE-marked solutions for residential and commercial projects across Berkshire, Surrey, and West Sussex.

Custom metalwork tailored to your exact space

We don't do 'one size fits all' here because, let's be honest, every building in Eastleigh has its own quirks. That's why we design every staircase and balustrade from scratch to suit your specific site measurements. You might need slim stringers for a modern, minimalist look in a new-build, or perhaps heavy-duty treads and risers for a busy warehouse mezzanine. We handle the whole lot—from the initial design and cutting to the final installation on-site. Need a specific RAL powder-coated colour to match your existing window frames? Just ask, and we'll make it happen.

Staying safe with Part K building regulations

Building regulations can be a bit of a headache, but they're there to keep us all safe. If you're installing a new balustrade, you've probably heard of the '100mm rule.' Essentially, it means that any gap in your railings or infill panels must be small enough that a 100mm sphere can't pass through—an absolute must for child safety. We ensure every handrail and balustrade we fit in Eastleigh meets Part K standards. Plus, as we're accredited to BS EN 1090-1 for Execution Class 2 (EXC2), you're getting structural steelwork that's fully compliant and safe for any application.

Durable finishes built for the Hampshire weather

Being so close to the South Coast means the air in Hampshire can be pretty unforgiving on metal. To stop rust in its tracks, we recommend hot-dip galvanising for any external stairs or balconies. This process coats the steel in a protective zinc layer, making it incredibly durable and virtually maintenance-free. For internal feature stairs, we can offer anything from a raw industrial finish to a sleek, polished stainless steel. If you're right by the water, we even suggest marine-grade stainless steel to prevent that annoying 'tea-staining' or corrosion that salt air causes.

From industrial fire escapes to Juliette balconies

Need to meet fire safety codes for a commercial unit in Eastleigh? Our external fire escapes are robust, slip-resistant, and built for the toughest conditions. On the other hand, maybe you're looking for a stylish Juliette balcony to finish off those new upstairs French doors. We fabricate everything from heavy-duty structural frames to delicate, decorative railings and handrails. If it's made of steel and needs to perform while looking the part, our coded welders have the expertise to build it exactly to your architect's drawings or your own vision.

  • Different Materials: We work with mild steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminium. We handle everything from heavy frames to small, custom metal parts.

Why choose steel staircases for your Southampton property?

+

Steel staircases are a top choice because they are incredibly strong and last a lifetime. Unlike wood, they won't creak, warp, or rot over time. In a city like Southampton, where many buildings face the sea air, steel can be galvanised or powder-coated to stand up to the weather. They also take up less visual space, making a room feel more open and modern.

Do you create bespoke handrails and internal balustrades?

+

Yes, we specialise in architectural metalwork that fits your space perfectly. We don't just do "off-the-shelf" parts. We can design and build handrails and balustrades that match the style of your home or office. Whether you want a sleek, modern look with stainless steel or something more traditional, we make sure it is sturdy and looks the part.

Can RA Steelworks build fire escapes for commercial buildings in Hampshire?

+

We certainly can. Safety is our main priority, and we understand the strict building regulations that govern fire escapes. We fabricate external stairs that are slip-resistant and fire-safe. Because we are certified for structural steel, you can trust that the fire escape we build for your Southampton business will be safe for years to come.

What is the process for metalwork installation?

+

We try to make the installation as easy as possible for you. Once the fabrication is finished in our workshop, our team brings the components to your site. We handle all the heavy lifting and on-site welding to fix the staircase or railings in place. We work around your schedule to keep disruption to a minimum, and we always leave the site tidy when the job is done.

Are balcony railings and commercial railings custom-made?

+

Every railing we produce is made to measure. This is important because no two balconies or commercial sites are exactly the same. We visit your site in Southampton or the surrounding areas to take exact measurements. This makes sure that when we come to install your balcony railings or commercial fencing, everything fits perfectly the first time.

How do I make sure my new stairs meet building regulations?

+

When you work with RA Steelworks, we guide you through the requirements for things like step height, width, and the gaps between balustrades. These rules are there to keep people safe, particularly in public or commercial buildings. Because we are experienced in metal fabrication across Hampshire, we know what the inspectors are looking for and make sure our work hits those marks.
