Why Choose RA Steelworks

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

Certified steel for your peace of mind

It's easy to think all steel is the same, but when it comes to structural integrity, the paperwork matters just as much as the metal. We're fully accredited to BS EN 1090-1 standards and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2). What does that actually mean for you? It means every beam we fabricate is CE-marked and compliant with UK Building Regulations. When your building control officer turns up at your Dorset site and asks for proof of compliance, you can hand over our documentation with total confidence. We don't cut corners because we know your project depends on the safety of our work.

Steel beams and RSJs for home projects

Have you ever wondered why some loft conversions feel more solid than others? Usually, it's down to the precision of the steelwork hidden behind the plasterboard. We specialise in supplying residential builders and self-builders in Wimborne Minster with the essential steel beams, columns, and posts needed for internal alterations and extensions. Whether you need a standard Universal Beam (UB) or a custom-fabricated lintel, we'll get it cut, drilled, and delivered exactly when you need it. We understand the tight spaces and tricky access often found in Dorset's residential streets, and we're here to make the logistics as painless as possible.

Coded welding that meets the highest standards

Welding isn't just about sticking two bits of metal together; it's a science. Our team consists of highly skilled coded welders who are certified for high-integrity applications. We work across MIG, TIG, and stick welding processes, ensuring that every joint—whether it’s for a heavy-duty portal frame or a bespoke architectural feature—is strong enough to handle the load. If you’ve got a unique design that needs a specialist touch, or a repair that requires a certified hand, we have the expertise to get it done right the first time. We take pride in the neatness and strength of our welds because we know they're the backbone of your structure.

Mobile welding and on-site fabrication

Sometimes the job can't come to the workshop, so we bring the workshop to you. Our mobile welding units are a regular sight across Wimborne and the wider Dorset area. Imagine you're mid-build and a beam needs a slight modification, or a piece of plant machinery has cracked under pressure—we can be on-site quickly to perform professional repairs or alterations. We also handle site-welding for larger frameworks where components need to be joined in situ. It’s all about providing a flexible service that keeps your project moving forward without unnecessary delays.

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.
