Custom steel staircases for Ringwood homes

At RA Steelworks Services LTD, we've spent years helping homeowners across the New Forest turn those ideas into reality. We don't just 'supply stairs'; we design and build bespoke metalwork that fits your home perfectly. Whether you're after a minimalist industrial look or something that blends glass and steel for a more contemporary feel, we handle the whole process from the first measurement to the final bolt.

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.

Keeping your family safe with Part K compliance

When it comes to staircases and balustrades, beauty is only half the story. Safety is where we really earn our keep. You might have heard of 'Part K' of the Building Regulations, but what does that actually mean for you? It's all about making sure the pitch isn't too steep and that your handrails are at the right height. One of the most important things we check is the '100mm rule' – making sure there are no gaps in your balustrades where a 100mm sphere could pass through. It sounds technical, but it’s essential for keeping children safe. Because we’re UKAS-accredited and work to Execution Class 2 (EXC2) standards, you can rest easy knowing your new stairs are as solid and safe as they look.

Durable external fire escapes and walkways

If you're running a business in Ringwood or managing a block of flats, you know that an external fire escape isn't just a luxury – it’s a legal necessity. We build heavy-duty steel staircases that are designed to stand up to the British weather without breaking a sweat. Since we're so close to the coast, we always recommend hot-dip galvanising for external metalwork. This process creates a protective layer that stops rust in its tracks, which is vital in our salty Hampshire air. From simple fire exits to complex industrial walkways and mezzanine floor access, our coded welders ensure every joint is high-integrity and built to last for decades.

Architectural balustrades and glass finishes

Sometimes you don't need a whole new staircase; you just want to update the look of a landing or a balcony. A new balustrade can completely transform a space. We work with high-quality stainless steel and glass infill panels to create that 'wow factor' without blocking the light. If you prefer a more traditional look, we can fabricate intricate steel railings and powder coat them in any RAL colour to match your window frames or front door. For those living near the water in the wider New Forest area, we often use marine-grade stainless steel to prevent 'tea-staining' or corrosion, keeping your handrails looking pristine for years to come.

Local expertise from workshop to installation

We're not a national faceless firm; we're your local steel specialists based right here on the South Coast. We know the local building styles in Ringwood, from the historic town centre to the newer developments on the outskirts. When you call us on 023 8272 1798, you're talking to people who actually do the work. We'll come out to your site, take precise measurements, and create CAD designs so you can see exactly what you're getting. Once you're happy, our team gets to work in the workshop, and then our mobile site welding crew handles the installation, making sure everything is level, secure, and tidy before we leave.

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.
