Metal Fabrication & Steelwork Services London

Fabrication, finishing and installation for steel, stainless steel and aluminium, with service scopes built around site use, security level, exposure, and Building Control requirements where relevant.

Metal Fabrication

Cutting, welding, bending, shaping and assembly for mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Work suits one-offs, replacements and batch runs.

Typical outputs

Structural Steelwork

RSJ/UB/UC beams, load-bearing frames, mezzanines, lintels, posts and reinforcements, built to engineer drawings and execution requirements under BS EN 1090. Execution classes EXC1–EXC4 define increasing levels of control, with EXC2 commonly used when not specified.

Typical outputs

Gate Automation

Motorised systems for sliding, swing, bi-fold and cantilever gates, specified to gate weight, duty cycle and site exposure. Powered gates require site-specific risk assessment, safety checks and ongoing maintenance planning.

Scope includes

Metal Staircase Manufacturin

Straight flight staircases, spiral/helical stairs, fire escape systems, landings and balustrades, aligned to Approved Document K for protection from falling, collision and impact.

Typical outputs

Metal Doors Manufacturing

High-security steel doors, fire-rated doorsets where specified, industrial access doors and reinforced frames. Fire safety guidance sits within Approved Document B, and new dwelling security guidance sits within Approved Document Q.

Options

Gates & Railings Installation

Custom-engineered wrought iron style and modern steel gates, security railings and decorative designs. Guarding and barrier performance commonly references Approved Document K and BS 6180 for barrier design context.

Balcony Fabrication

Juliet balconies, glass balustrades, cantilever styles and perforated metal panels built to structural load requirements and fixing substrates. Guarding principles align with Approved Document K, with barrier design guidance commonly referenced through BS 6180.

Powder Coating

Durable finishes for gates, railings, balconies, staircases, doors, fencing and fabricated components. QUALICOAT Class 2 (“super-durable”) systems are widely used for improved UV resistance on architectural applications.

Common finish choices

Metal Fencing Installation

Secure fencing systems including palisade, welded mesh and vertical bar railings, supplied galvanised or powder-coated.

Standards commonly referenced

Planning note (height limits) Planning Portal guidance sets typical permitted development height limits for fences/walls/gates at 1m next to a highway used by vehicles (or its footpath) and 2m elsewhere (subject to exceptions).

Materials: mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium.
Galvanising: coating requirements and test methods commonly reference ISO 1461.
Powder over galvanised (duplex): powder organic coatings on galvanised steel commonly reference BS EN 13438.
