Why Choose Franks Steel in Essex?

Essex is home to a diverse mix of residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Whether you are planning a new-build project, a loft conversion, or a large commercial steel frame building, every development requires safe, strong, and precise steelwork.

Franks Steel combines craftsmanship, technology, and compliance to ensure every fabrication project is carried out efficiently. Moreover, we take care of the full process – from initial design and site survey through to fabrication, delivery, and on-site installation.

When choosing our team of steel fabricators in Essex, you benefit from:

  • Comprehensive services covering structural steel, architectural steelwork, and welding.
  • Full project support from design through to installation.
  • Compliance with UK standards such as BS EN 1090 and CE marking for structural steel.
  • Experienced team with over 10 years working across Essex, London, and the South East.
  • Competitive pricing without compromising on safety or quality.

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.

Working With Professionals

Successful steel fabrication requires close collaboration. That is why we coordinate with:
