Expert Structural Steelwork in Fareham, Hampshire

Ever wondered why your structural engineer insists on CE-marked steel? It’s all about safety and accountability. We’re proud to be UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1, which is a fancy way of saying our workshop meets the highest standards for structural integrity. Specifically, we're approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2). This means every beam, column, and post we fabricate for your Fareham site comes with the paperwork your Building Control officer needs to see. It’s not just about ticking boxes; it’s about knowing that the steel holding up your roof or mezzanine floor is exactly as strong as it’s supposed to be.

Most of the builders we chat with in Fareham tell us the same thing: they need their steel yesterday. Whether you’re after a standard RSJ for a kitchen knock-through or a series of Parallel Flange Channels (PFC) for a complex loft conversion, we focus on getting your order processed and fabricated without the long lead times you might find elsewhere. We stock a wide range of standard sections like Universal Beams (UB) and Universal Columns (UC), and because we handle our own cutting and drilling in-house, we can react quickly when your site schedule changes. No more waiting around for a delivery while your brickies are standing idle.

When it comes to structural joints, there's no room for 'good enough.' That’s why our team consists of coded welders who’ve been independently tested to ensure their work is flawless. Whether it's MIG, TIG, or traditional stick welding, we follow strict Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS) to ensure every bond is deep and durable. If your project involves heavy-duty load-bearing frames or intricate bespoke metalwork, you can rest easy knowing the welding has been performed by a certified professional. It's the difference between a joint that just looks okay and one that is structurally sound for decades to come.

Sometimes your project needs more than just a straight beam. Perhaps you’re looking for a feature staircase that makes a statement in a new build, or maybe you need custom-designed balustrades for a balcony overlooking the Solent. Our workshop isn't just for the heavy stuff; we’re equally at home with bespoke metalwork. We work with mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium to create functional, beautiful additions to any property. From made-to-measure brackets to decorative railings, if you can draw it, RA Steelworks can build it.
