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

Certified steel that keeps Building Control happy

If you've ever dealt with building inspectors, you'll know they don't take risks when it comes to structural integrity. That’s why we take our certifications so seriously. We're fully audited to BS EN 1090-1 and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2). This sounds like a lot of technical talk, but what it actually means for you is that every beam, column, and bracket we produce is CE-marked and fully compliant with UK Building Regulations. You won't have to worry about your project being held up because of non-compliant materials or poor paperwork. We handle all that so you can focus on the rest of the build.

Universal beams and RSJs for home extensions

Most homeowners we speak to in Shanklin are looking for a reliable way to open up their living space or convert a loft. Maybe you're knocking through a kitchen wall and need a load-bearing lintel, or perhaps you're adding a whole new floor. We supply everything from standard RSJs to Universal Beams (UB) and Universal Columns (UC). We don't just drop a piece of steel at your door, either. We can help with the specific fabrication required—drilling holes, welding on end plates, or adding cleats—so it's ready to be bolted straight into place. It’s about making the job as smooth as possible for you and your builder.

Coded welding for high-integrity joints

When it comes to the joints that hold a structure together, 'good enough' simply isn't an option. Our welders aren't just experienced; they are fully certified coded welders. This means their work has been tested and proven to meet the highest industry standards for strength and safety. Whether it's MIG, TIG, or traditional stick welding, we have the skills to handle high-integrity applications where the weld is the most critical part of the assembly. We bring this same level of care to every job, from a small repair to a complex multi-storey frame.

Marine fabrication and coastal repairs in Shanklin

Living and working so close to the sea means we understand the unique challenges the salt air and marine environment can throw at you. We're specialists in marine fabrication and ship repair, providing durable solutions for vessels and dockside structures. If you've got a hull that needs a patch or a maritime structure that's seen better days, we can help. Our team can even come to you with our mobile site welding units, tackling emergency repairs right where the vessel is moored to keep your downtime to an absolute minimum.

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.
