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

Certified Steel That Keeps Building Control Happy

Let's talk about the paperwork for a second. We know it’s not the most exciting part of a build, but when it comes to structural safety, it's everything. We’re fully BS EN 1090-1 accredited and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2) steelwork. What does that mean for you? It means every piece of steel we provide is CE-marked and fully compliant with UK Building Regulations (Part A). When the building control officer walks onto your site in Sandown and asks for the certifications, you can hand them over with total confidence. We don't take shortcuts because we know your project’s integrity—and your peace of mind—depends on us getting it right the first time. Why risk your build with uncertified steel when you can have the real deal from a local expert?

Support Your Home Project With Proper Steel Beams

Are you knocking through a load-bearing wall to create that open-plan living space you've always wanted? Most homeowners we speak to in Sandown are looking for reliable RSJs (Rolled Steel Joists) or Universal Beams (UB) that they can trust. We specialise in residential steelwork, supplying builders and DIYers with the exact sections needed for loft conversions, extensions, and internal alterations. We’ll take your structural engineer's drawings and fabricate the columns, posts, and beams to the millimetre. It’s not just about the big stuff, either; we’re happy to help with smaller lintels or bespoke brackets too. If you're not sure exactly what you need, just give us a ring on 023 8272 1798 and we can chat through the requirements.

Precision Steel Frames For Larger Developments

For our commercial and industrial clients in Sandown, we offer a complete fabrication service for larger-scale structures. We’ve got the kit and the space to handle complex portal frames, multi-storey frameworks, and robust mezzanine floors. Imagine you're trying to maximise storage in a warehouse—a custom-fabricated mezzanine can effectively double your floor space without the cost of a new building. We handle everything from Universal Columns (UC) to Parallel Flange Channels (PFC), ensuring every component is ready for a seamless install. We understand that on a commercial site, time is money. That's why we pride ourselves on realistic lead times and clear communication, so your project stays on track and under budget.

Coded Welding When Strength Is Non-Negotiable

When you're dealing with critical joints and load-bearing structures, a 'standard' weld just isn't enough. That’s where our coded welders come in. Every member of our team is certified to the highest industry standards, working to approved Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS). We’re proficient in MIG, TIG, and stick welding, meaning we can handle everything from delicate stainless steel work to heavy-duty carbon steel fabrication. Whether we’re working in our workshop or out on-site in Sandown with our mobile welding units, you’re getting a weld that is strong, reliable, and fully documented. It’s about more than just joining two pieces of metal; it’s about ensuring the safety of everyone who uses that building for years to come.

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.
