Structural steelwork contractors who keep the programme moving

Site-first approach

Our steelwork teams turn up prepared, with lift plans agreed and kit on the wagon, so the crane is never waiting.

Fabrication on site

On site steel fabrication and welding means discrepancies get solved the same day instead of stalling the build.

Main contractor ready

We work as a steelwork subcontractor day in, day out - inductions, RAMS, permits and progress reporting included.

Fabrication to installation

Structural steel fabrication and installation handled together, or installation of steel fabricated by others.

Clear communication

One point of contact from quote to handover, with honest updates when site conditions change.

Safety taken seriously

Harnesses, edge protection, exclusion zones and lift plans are standard, not an afterthought.

  • ▪Project co-ordinators for drawings, schedules, RAMS and progress updates

Our process

From first drawing to frame handover

  1. 01

    Enquiry & drawings

    Send your drawings, tonnage or sketches. We talk through the structure, access and the programme you need to hit.

  2. 02

    Survey & quote

    Where it helps, we visit site to check access, craneage and setting out, then issue a clear, itemised quote.

  3. 03

    Planning & RAMS

    Lift plans, method statements and risk assessments are issued before we arrive, so your site team knows exactly what is happening.

  4. 04

    Fabrication & installation

    Steel is fabricated to BS EN 1090 EXC2, then our team sets out, lifts and bolts the structure, welding on site where the build calls for it.

  5. 05

    Sign off & handover

    Connections checked, plumb and level verified, site cleared and the frame handed over ready for the follow-on trades.

FAQ

Common questions

What structural steelwork services do you provide?+

We are structural steelwork contractors for commercial, industrial and construction projects. That covers structural steel fabrication, structural steel installation, beams, columns, frames and supporting steel structures, bespoke steelwork and site welding where the design needs adjusting.

Do you work as a steelwork subcontractor for main contractors?+

Yes. A large part of our work is as a structural steelwork subcontractor for main contractors, developers and fabricators. We can price from your drawings, work to your programme and integrate with your site rules, inductions and RAMS.

Can you handle onsite steel fabrication?+

We do. Site conditions rarely match the drawings perfectly, so we carry the equipment and skills to fabricate, cut, weld and adapt steelwork on site rather than sending it back to the shop and losing days.

Can you handle fabrication through to installation?+

Yes. We can deliver the full package from steel fabrication to installation on site, with fabrication to BS EN 1090 EXC2 and welding carried out by coded welders. We can also install steel fabricated by others.

How quickly can you price a project?+

Send us drawings, a schedule or even sketches with your postcode and programme dates, and we will come back to you with a clear price and the resource we would put on it.

What areas do you cover?+

We are based in the South East and travel for commercial steelwork projects. Tell us where the site is when you enquire and we will confirm straight away.
