Frequently Asked Question

Do you supply and install steelwork or just fabricate?

We offer a complete service, including site measurement, fabrication, delivery and installation. We can also fabricate only if installation is being handled by others.

Do you work with both structural and architectural steel?

Yes. We fabricate everything from beams and columns to staircases, railings, balconies and bespoke architectural features.

Quoting & Design

What information do you need to provide a quote?

Ideally, we need structural drawings, engineering calculations (if applicable), site location, access details, finish requirements and your preferred timescale.

Do I need drawings or calculations before getting a quote?

For structural steel, calculations are required for final pricing. However, we’re happy to provide budget estimates early on and guide you through the process.

Can you visit site to measure up?

Yes. Site visits are often recommended, especially for renovations, bespoke steelwork and architectural features.

Are your prices fixed?

Our quotes are fixed based on the agreed scope. Any changes to design, specification or site conditions would be discussed before proceeding.

Compliance & Certification

Are you UKCA / EN1090 accredited?

Yes. We are fully certified for structural steelwork to Execution Class 2, ensuring compliance with building regulations and building control requirements.

Will you provide certification and documentation?

Absolutely. We will supply a Declaration of Performance Certificate on completion of the work.

Timescales & Installation

What is your typical lead time?

Lead times vary depending on project size and complexity, but we will always advise timescales at quotation stage.

How long does installation take?

Most installations are completed efficiently and with minimal disruption. We’ll advise exact durations before work begins.

What access do you need on site?

Clear access for delivery and installation is essential. We’ll confirm requirements such as lifting equipment or parking in advance.

Will your work disrupt other trades?

We coordinate closely with builders and project managers to minimise disruption and keep projects running smoothly

Quality & Aftercare

What finishes do you offer to protect steelwork?

Options include priming, painting, powder coating and galvanising, depending on the environment and desired finish.

Can you match specific design details or finishes?

Yes. We regularly work to architects’ specifications and bespoke design requirements.

What happens if something doesn’t fit on site?

If any issues arise, we deal with them quickly and professionally to keep your project moving.
