Expert Structural Steelwork in Horndean, Hampshire

Have you ever worried about whether your steel fabricator actually meets the legal requirements for structural work? It's a common concern, especially with building control officers getting stricter every year. We take that stress off your plate. RA Steelworks is fully UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1 and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2). This sounds like technical jargon, but it basically means our materials, our workshop processes, and our welders are independently audited. When we deliver a beam to your site in Horndean, it comes with the CE/UKCA marking and the paperwork your building control officer needs to sign off your project without a hitch.

Most of the homeowners we chat with are looking for something specific, like a universal beam (UB) for a loft conversion or a set of parallel flange channels (PFC) for a new rear extension. We don't just 'supply' these; we make sure they're exactly what your structural engineer's drawings demand. We've seen plenty of projects delayed because a beam arrived a few millimetres off or without the right drill holes. That's why we focus on precision fabrication. From standard lintels to custom-welded cranked beams, we ensure your residential metalwork fits perfectly the first time, helping your builders stay on schedule and your budget stay on track.

Think about the pressure on a single weld in a multi-storey frame. It's immense. That's why we don't just use 'handy' welders; we use certified coded welders. Our team is trained to follow strict Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS), ensuring every joint is as strong as the steel itself. Whether we're working with mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminium, we use the right process for the job, including MIG, TIG, and stick welding. If you've got a repair that can't be moved, our mobile site welding units can come straight to you in Horndean or the surrounding Hampshire villages to handle on-site modifications and emergency repairs.

For our commercial clients in East Hampshire, we offer more than just beams. We're often tasked with creating entire portal frames for warehouses or installing heavy-duty mezzanine floors to help businesses make the most of their vertical space. Imagine you're expanding your workshop and need a load-bearing floor that won't vibrate or sag—that’s where our structural expertise comes in. We handle everything from the initial design support through to CNC plasma cutting and final installation. It's a comprehensive service designed to get your facility up and running with minimal fuss.
