Why might you need steelwork services?

There are several reasons to call upon steelwork services:

• Removing a load-bearing wall and needing an RSJ or steel beam

• Building an extension, loft conversion, or open-plan space

• Installing steel staircases, balcony frames, or mezzanines

• Creating custom steel components for construction or renovation

• Repairing damaged structural steel

• Upgrading commercial units with new framework or reinforcements

What does steelwork involve?

As a guide, here's what you can typically expect from steelwork services:

Step 1: Site visit and measurements

Your steelwork contractor will assess the space, review drawings, and confirm load requirements.

Step 2: Fabrication and preparation

The steel is cut, shaped, drilled, and welded to specification — whether that’s a beam, frame, or bespoke component.

Step 3: Delivery and installation

The team transports the steel to your property, installs it safely, and works with your builder or engineer to ensure correct positioning.

How much does steelwork cost?

Steelwork costs vary depending on the size, thickness, and complexity of the steel required.

Using RSJs as a guide:

• A single doorway (approx. 1m and up to 46kg/m of the beam itself) RSJ beam costs £200 for the materials and £300 for the installation

• By comparison, a much larger RSJ (approx. 5m and up to 46kg/m of the beam itself) costs £950 for the materials and £750 for the RSJ installation cost

Bear in mind, that alongside calculating the length of RSJ needed, an equally critical calculation is to determine how much weight the RSJ will need to support. The RSJ cost per metre you pay will mainly be dictated by this.

• Large projects like staircases or balcony frames can cost more due to fabrication time and handling
