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

Certified safety with BS EN 1090-1 accreditation

It’s a question we get a lot: does the certification really matter? The short answer is yes, absolutely. We are UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1 and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2). In plain English, this means our materials, our workshop processes, and our welders have been independently audited to meet strict UK standards. When your building control officer asks for proof of CE-marked steelwork, we provide the paperwork that gives you total peace of mind. Whether it's a single RSJ for a kitchen knock-through or a complex frame for a new industrial unit, we make sure it meets every safety regulation in the book.

Steel beams and RSJs for home extensions

Most homeowners we speak to in Whitchurch are looking for something specific, like a load-bearing lintel for a loft conversion or a series of Universal Beams (UB) for an open-plan living space. We carry a full range of standard sections, including Universal Columns (UC) and Parallel Flange Channels (PFC), and we can cut and drill them to your exact structural engineer's drawings. We don't just drop a beam at your door and leave you to it; we're here to offer advice on the best sections for your needs. If you're a local builder, you'll appreciate our fast turnaround times and the fact that our steel is ready to install the moment it arrives on-site.

Expert coded welding and mobile site services

Welding is more than just a spark and a join; it's a specialized craft that requires serious training. Our team consists of highly skilled coded welders who are certified for high-integrity, load-bearing applications. This is vital for structural joints where there's no room for error. Sometimes the work can't come to our workshop, which is why our mobile welding units are always on the move around Hampshire. If you've got an emergency repair on-site or need structural steel welded in-situ, we bring the expertise and the equipment directly to you, ensuring the job is done safely and to the highest standard.

Custom metalwork from mezzanine floors to staircases

Need to maximize the space in your warehouse or workshop? A custom-fabricated mezzanine floor is often the most cost-effective way to double your footprint without moving premises. We handle everything from the initial design support to the final installation of the steel frame, flooring, and safety balustrades. Our fabrication expertise also extends to bespoke architectural metalwork. We create durable steel staircases, sleek handrails, and functional fire escapes that look great and stand up to heavy use. If you can sketch it or have a technical drawing, our team can build it using a mix of traditional skills and modern CNC profiling and cutting technology.

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.
