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

Certified steel that keeps Building Control happy

Ever worry about your project getting stalled by a picky building inspector? We get it. It's one of the biggest headaches in construction. That’s why we’re fully accredited to BS EN 1090-1 and Execution Class 2 (EXC2). In plain English, this means our workshop, our materials, and our processes are independently audited to guarantee quality. When we deliver a beam to your site in Fordingbridge, it comes with all the CE-marking and paperwork your structural engineer and building control officer require. It’s about peace of mind, knowing your building’s bones are rock solid and fully compliant with UK Building Regulations.

Coded welding for joints that won't let you down

Not all welds are created equal. For structural jobs, you simply can't afford to wing it with a standard welder. Our team are fully coded welders, which is a fancy way of saying they’ve passed rigorous tests to prove their skills are up to the highest UK standards. Whether it’s high-integrity joints for a load-bearing mezzanine floor or tricky on-site repairs, we follow strict Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS). It’s the difference between a job that looks okay on the surface and one that’s guaranteed to hold under immense pressure for decades to come.

Steel beams and RSJs delivered across the New Forest

If you’re a local builder or a homeowner tackling a loft conversion, you probably just need the right beam at the right price, delivered when you need it. We supply a full range of standard sections, including Universal Beams (UB), Universal Columns (UC), and Parallel Flange Channels (PFC). We aren't just about the massive industrial frameworks, though. We’re just as happy helping out with a single load-bearing lintel. Because we're based right here in the region, we know the lanes of Fordingbridge and the New Forest well, so you won't find our drivers getting lost trying to find your site entrance.

Mobile site welding and metal repairs when you're stuck

Things don't always go to plan on a building site. Maybe a beam needs a last-minute modification because the site dimensions shifted, or a piece of heavy plant machinery has developed a nasty crack. That’s where our mobile welding units come in. We bring the workshop to you, anywhere in Fordingbridge or the surrounding 25-mile radius. From TIG welding for clean stainless steel finishes to robust stick welding for heavy-duty repairs, we’ve got the kit and the expertise to fix it on-site and keep your project moving without costly delays.

Custom metalwork designed for your specific needs

We love a challenge, so if you’ve got a unique design or a tricky structural problem that needs solving, give us a shout.

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.
