Why Choose RA Steelworks

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

Certified Steel for Absolute Peace of Mind

It's one thing to weld two bits of metal together, but it's another thing entirely when that metal is holding up your roof. We don't take chances with safety. We’re fully accredited to BS EN 1090-1 and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2). What does that actually mean for you? It means every beam we supply is CE-marked and meets the strict UK Building Regulations (Part A). Your building control officer will be looking for this, so choosing a certified team like RA Steelworks Services LTD saves you a massive headache down the line. Why risk your project's integrity with uncertified steel?

Quick Supply of RSJs and Universal Beams

Are you planning a loft conversion or knocking through a kitchen wall to create that open-plan space you've always wanted? Most homeowners tell us their biggest worry is waiting weeks for a single steel beam to arrive. We specialise in the fast turnaround of RSJs, Universal Beams (UB), and Universal Columns (UC). We’ll cut them to the exact millimetre, drill them for bolts, and even prime them so they're ready for the builder. Getting the right support shouldn't be the thing that holds up your build, so we make sure it doesn't.

Specialist Marine Fabrication and Ship Repairs

Being based in East Cowes, we’re right in the maritime heart of the Solent. We understand that salt air and heavy seas are brutal on metal. Our team provides expert marine fabrication and ship repairs, from fixing hull sections to custom deck fittings and structural modifications. Whether it’s a commercial vessel needing an emergency repair to get back to work or a private boat needing a bespoke stainless steel fix, our coded welders ensure every joint is strong enough to handle the Channel's toughest conditions.

Expert Coded Welding Wherever You Need It

Not every job can be brought into our workshop. Sometimes, the work needs to happen right there on the dock, in a factory, or on a muddy construction site. That’s why we offer mobile site welding across East Cowes and the wider Isle of Wight. Our welders are fully 'coded,' which means they've been independently tested to meet high industry standards. We’re proficient in MIG, TIG, and Stick welding processes. So, whether it's delicate aluminium work or heavy-duty structural carbon steel, we’ve got the right kit and the right skills to do it properly the first time.

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.
