Why Choose RA Steelworks

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

Fully Certified Steel for Total Peace of Mind

<p>Safety isn't just a checkbox for us—it's the backbone of everything we do. You might have heard about BS EN 1090-1 or Execution Class 2 (EXC2), but what does that actually mean for your build? Essentially, it’s your guarantee that the steel we fabricate is up to the job and meets all UK Building Regulations. We're fully UKAS-accredited, which means our materials and processes are independently audited. This is vital for structural integrity, and it's exactly what your building control officer will be looking for. From portal frames for a new warehouse to simple load-bearing lintels, we provide the CE-marked assurance you need to sleep soundly at night.</p>

Reliable RSJ Beams and Home Extensions

<p>Planning a kitchen knock-through or a loft conversion? Most homeowners we speak to are excited but a bit nervous about the structural side of things. That's where we come in. We specialise in supplying the essential steel beams, Universal Beams (UB), and Universal Columns (UC) that hold your home together. We don't just supply standard sections; we can cut, drill, and fabricate them to your architect's exact drawings. If you've ever worried about a beam being an inch too long on delivery day, you'll appreciate our focus on precision. We've helped hundreds of people in Portsmouth turn their house into a dream home with reliable, fast-turnaround steelwork.</p>

Portsmouth's Maritime Heartbeat and Ship Repair

<p>Being based in a historic naval city like Portsmouth means we're never far from the water. The marine environment is incredibly harsh, and standard metalwork just won't cut it. We've built a reputation for high-quality marine fabrication and ship repair, working with everything from carbon steel to marine-grade aluminium and stainless steel. Whether it's a dockside hull repair or a bespoke component for a private vessel, our coded welders have the expertise to deliver durable, compliant results. We understand that in the maritime world, downtime is a disaster, so we work quickly and efficiently to get you back on the water.</p>

Coded Welding for High-Integrity Joints

<p>Welding is a skill, but coded welding is a science. When you're dealing with critical joints that are supporting tonnes of weight, you can't leave things to chance. Our welders are certified to the highest industry standards, ensuring every weld is strong, reliable, and perfectly executed. We work across various processes including MIG, TIG, and Stick welding, depending on what the job demands. If you've got a project that requires a Weld Procedure Specification (WPS), we're the team to call. It’s all about providing that extra level of security for high-integrity applications where failure simply isn't an option.</p>

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.
