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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
