Certified Structural Steelwork & Fabrication across Southampton, Berkshire, Surrey and West Sussex

Certified Steel for Your Peace of Mind

Have you ever wondered if the steel holding up your roof is actually up to the job? It's a scary thought, but with us, it's one you'll never have to worry about. We are fully UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1 and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2). In plain English, that means our workshop, our materials, and our processes are independently audited to ensure they meet the highest safety standards required by UK Building Regulations. Every structural beam we supply is CE-marked (or UKCA-marked), giving your building control officer exactly what they need to sign off your project without a hitch. It’s about more than just a certificate; it’s about the safety of the people who will eventually live or work in the buildings we help create. We don't take shortcuts because we know that in structural engineering, there’s simply no room for error.

Quick Turnaround on RSJs and Universal Beams

We know how it goes on a busy site—the groundworks are done, the brickies are ready, and suddenly everyone’s waiting on the steel. A delay of even a few days can throw your whole schedule out of whack. That’s why we specialise in fast, accurate fabrication of standard sections like RSJs (Rolled Steel Joists), Universal Beams (UB), and Universal Columns (UC). Because we’re based right here in Southampton, we can get your beams cut, drilled, and delivered to sites across Hampshire and Dorset faster than the big national suppliers. If your architect has specified Parallel Flange Channels (PFC) or specific load-bearing lintels, we can have those ready for you too. We take the stress out of the supply chain so you can focus on getting the rest of the job done.

Professional Coded Welding You Can Count On

When it comes to the critical joints in a building’s frame, a 'good enough' weld simply isn't good enough. Our team consists of highly skilled coded welders who are certified to work on high-integrity applications where strength is non-negotiable. We work to approved Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS), meaning every bead we lay is documented and guaranteed to perform under pressure. Whether it’s MIG welding for efficient shop fabrication, TIG welding for clean finishes on stainless steel, or traditional Stick welding for heavy-duty repairs, we’ve got the right tools and the right people for the job. It’s this level of expertise that makes us the go-to choice for engineering firms and developers across West Sussex and Wiltshire who need high-quality structural joints that will stand the test of time.

Mobile Welding and On-Site Fabrication

Sometimes the job can’t come to us, so we bring the workshop to you. If you’ve ever been stuck on-site with a steel beam that needs an emergency modification or a piece of plant machinery that’s just snapped, you’ll know how vital a quick response is. Our fully equipped mobile welding units are ready to head out across the South Coast to handle on-site fabrication and repairs. We can weld structural connections in situ, install bespoke handrails, or fix broken heavy equipment right where it sits. It’s a flexible, no-nonsense service designed to keep your project moving forward, no matter what challenges crop up on the day. Just give us a ring on 023 8272 1798 and we'll get a van out to you.

From Mezzanine Floors to Marine Repairs

Our skills aren't just limited to building frames. Being based in a maritime hub like Southampton, we’ve developed a real knack for marine fabrication and ship repair. We understand the unique challenges of the sea—how salt and spray can eat through metal if it isn't handled correctly. We provide durable, high-quality welding for hulls, decks, and offshore structures. Back on dry land, we’re often busy creating custom mezzanine floors for warehouses looking to double their floor space, or fabricating beautiful, functional steel staircases and balustrades. We also love a challenge, so if you have a bespoke metalwork project—perhaps a custom architectural feature or a one-off prototype—we have the CNC plasma and oxy-fuel cutting tech to bring your vision to life in mild steel, stainless, or aluminium.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our structural steelwork and fabrication services in Southampton, Berkshire, Surrey and West Sussex , Berkshire, Surrey, and West Sussex.

What is BS EN 1090-1 and why does my project need it?

+

This is a legal requirement for any structural steel used in the UK. It proves that the fabrication shop has been audited and the steel is CE marked. If you use a fabricator without this accreditation, your building control officer might reject the work, and your insurance could be void. We are fully UKAS accredited to Execution Class 2, so our steel meets all the necessary safety standards for your peace of mind.

Can you supply a single RSJ for a house extension?

+

Yes, we help local builders and homeowners with small-scale projects all the time. We can cut, drill, and paint a single beam or a small set of columns and deliver them straight to your site in Southampton or the surrounding areas.

What is the difference between a Universal Beam and an RSJ?

+

Most people use the term RSJ (Rolled Steel Joist) to mean any steel beam, but technically, they have tapered flanges. Universal Beams (UB) are more common in modern construction. We can help you identify exactly what your structural engineer has specified to make sure you get the right part for the job.

Do you offer on-site welding if I cannot bring the job to your workshop?

+

We do. We have fully equipped vans that bring our coded welding services to your site. This is perfect for repairs to heavy machinery, finishing structural frames, or marine work where the boat is already out of the water.

How long does it take to get a quote for steel fabrication?

+

If you have your drawings ready, we can usually get a price back to you within 24 to 48 hours. We know construction moves fast, so we try to keep our turnaround times as short as possible.

Are your welders coded?

+

Yes, our welders are certified to high industry standards. This means they have passed specific tests to prove they can produce high-quality, safe welds. This is a must for any structural work where the integrity of the building depends on the strength of the joints.
