Why Choose RA Steelworks

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

Certified Steel for Every Local Build

<p>Ever wondered why your structural engineer or building control officer is so insistent on seeing certifications? It's because the quality of your steel is literally a matter of safety. As a UKAS-accredited firm to <strong>BS EN 1090-1</strong> standards, we're approved for <strong>Execution Class 2 (EXC2)</strong> structural steelwork. This means every piece of steel leaving our workshop is CE-marked and fully compliant with UK Building Regulations (Part A). We handle everything from the standard RSJ (Rolled Steel Joist) for a loft conversion to complex portal frames for industrial warehouses. You won't have to worry about red tape when the inspectors come knocking; we've got all the paperwork sorted for you.</p>

Coded Welding for High-Integrity Projects

<p>Welding isn't just about joining two bits of metal together—it's a precision craft where there's zero room for error. Most people we talk to don't realise that for structural work, you need more than just a steady hand; you need <strong>coded welders</strong>. Our team is certified to the highest industry standards, ensuring every joint in your structure is as strong as the steel itself. Whether we're using MIG, TIG, or Stick welding, we follow strict Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS). From heavy-duty load-bearing columns to intricate bespoke metalwork, our welds are built to withstand the test of time and the salty Bournemouth air.</p>

Steel Beams and RSJs for Home Extensions

<p>Are you planning to knock through a wall to create an open-plan living space? Most Bournemouth homeowners find that a single Universal Beam (UB) or Universal Column (UC) can transform their house. We supply and fabricate standard sections, including Parallel Flange Channels (PFC) and lintels, tailored to your architect's drawings. We know that timing is everything on a building site—there's nothing worse than a crew of builders standing around waiting for a beam to arrive. That's why we pride ourselves on fast turnarounds and reliable delivery for local builders and self-builders alike. If you need it cut to length, drilled, and primed, we've got you covered.</p>

Commercial Frames and Mezzanine Floors

<p>If you're looking to expand your business premises in the BCP area, we're here to help you maximise your space. We specialise in the design and fabrication of <strong>portal frames</strong> and <strong>mezzanine floors</strong>. Imagine doubling your warehouse floor space without the cost of moving—a custom-built steel mezzanine is often the smartest way to grow. We also handle larger structural frameworks for commercial developments, ensuring every component is precision-engineered for a perfect fit on-site. Our CNC plasma and oxy-fuel cutting services mean we can profile steel plates and sections to your exact specifications with incredible accuracy.</p>

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.
