Expert Structural Steelwork in Lymington, Hampshire

Building regulations aren't just red tape—they're there to keep people safe. That is why RA Steelworks is fully accredited to BS EN 1090-1 and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2) structural steelwork. In plain English, this means every piece of steel that leaves our workshop is UKCA/CE marked and audited to meet strict safety standards. If you're a local builder or a self-builder in Lymington, having this certification is vital. It means your architect, structural engineer, and building control officer can sign off on the work without any headaches. We don't take shortcuts because we know how much is riding on the integrity of our frames and beams.

When it comes to the joints that hold your building together, 'good enough' simply isn't good enough. Our team consists of highly skilled coded welders who are certified to work on critical, load-bearing structures. We follow strict Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS) to ensure every weld is as strong as the steel itself. Whether we're using MIG, TIG, or traditional stick welding, we bring a level of craftsmanship that's hard to find. We also offer mobile site welding, so if you need a modification made right there on the construction site or a repair on a piece of heavy machinery, we can come to you. It's about providing a reliable service that keeps your project moving forward without delays.

Most of the homeowners and developers we chat with in Lymington need specific standard sections like Universal Beams (UB), Universal Columns (UC), or Parallel Flange Channels (PFC). We keep a healthy stock of these and can cut, drill, and prime them to your exact specifications. But we also love the bespoke stuff. If you've got a tricky architectural design that needs a custom mezzanine floor, a unique steel staircase, or decorative balustrades, we've got the tools—including CNC plasma cutting—to make it happen. We work from your structural drawings to ensure that what shows up on the back of our truck is exactly what you need to get the job done.

Being based so close to the Solent, we've naturally become experts in the marine side of things too. Lymington’s boatyards and marinas are a huge part of our local community, and we’re proud to support them. We provide specialised marine fabrication and ship repair services, from dockside welding on hulls to custom stainless steel fittings for private vessels. We understand that the maritime environment is incredibly harsh, so we use the right materials and techniques to ensure our metalwork stands up to the salt and the spray. If your vessel needs urgent structural repairs or you're looking for custom offshore components, our coded welders are ready to jump in.
