Structural Steel Fabrication in Essex
Strong structures depend on accurate steelwork. We manufacture and install RSJs, steel beams, and full structural frames for both residential and commercial developments. As a result, our steelwork forms the backbone of safe construction, keeping buildings stable and compliant with building regulations.
Architectural Metalwork
In addition to strength, many projects require attractive finishes. Our Essex-based team designs and installs balustrades, staircases, railings, and bespoke steel features that combine safety with style. Therefore, your project benefits from both functionality and a high-quality appearance.
Secondary Steelwork
Beyond primary frames and beams, we also handle essential secondary steel fabrication such as:
- Access platforms
- Mezzanines
- Ladders
- Walkways
- Support brackets
These elements, although sometimes overlooked, play a vital role in ensuring safety and usability. Consequently, we approach them with the same precision as our larger structural projects.
Welding and Repair Services
Not every project requires new steelwork. Sometimes existing structures need strengthening or modification. Our qualified welders provide on-site welding and repairs, ensuring your steel remains safe and durable. In addition, we can adapt or reinforce existing frameworks so they continue to perform effectively.
