Specialist steel building fabricators
Steel buildings built for the job they have to do
Agricultural, industrial, equestrian, sports, workshop and storage buildings: designed, fabricated and erected by one team across the United Kingdom.
- 35+ years in steel
- Own fabrication workshop
- CE marked to EXC2
- Supplied and erected UK-wide
Designed in-house
Eurocode structural design and drawings produced by our own engineers, sized to your site’s wind and snow loading.
Our own workshop
Frames fabricated, shot-blasted and painted in our Worcestershire workshop to Execution Class 2, not bought in.
Turn-key or supply only
Take steelwork on its own, or hand us the whole job from planning drawings through to a finished building.
Erected UK-wide
Our own groundworks and erection crews travel the country, so one team is accountable from first drawing to handover.
Who we are
Specialist steel building fabricators
We are a UK steel building company that does the whole thing: structural design, fabrication in our own workshop, groundworks and concrete, then erection and cladding on site. No sub-contract chain to chase, no gaps between trades, and one quotation that covers the building you actually end up with.
Every frame is engineered for its own site: its own spans, wind and snow loading, doors and openings. That is why we quote properly instead of pulling a price off a size chart.
What we build
Buildings for working sites
Six starting points. Every one of them gets designed around your site, your access and what has to fit inside.

How it works
Getting a price is straightforward
Three steps, no pressure, and a real quotation at the end of it, not a ballpark figure.
Tell us the basics
Rough length, width and height, what is going inside and where the site is. A sketch on the back of an envelope is plenty to start.
We engineer and price it
We size the frame properly for your spans and loadings, then price the steel, cladding, doors, groundworks and delivery line by line.
You get a fixed written quotation
An itemised quotation with clear payment terms and a programme. No guide prices, and no surprises once the job starts.
Quality
Engineered, fabricated and certified properly
Our fabrication runs under a factory production control system to Execution Class 2, and every building leaves with the structural calculations, drawings and declarations you need for Building Control.
Accreditations and assurance
- CE marked to EXC2
- Factory production control
- Eurocode structural design
- CHAS registered
- Full public liability cover
- Structural calculations supplied with every building
Customers
What people say afterwards
From the first site visit to handover the whole job was straightforward. The building went up in the weather we get in February and it has not moved since.
We needed a clear span with no columns in the middle and a floor that could take fork lift traffic all day. That is exactly what we got, on the date they said.
The indoor school is light, dry and quiet. The team understood horses, which is more than we can say for the other quotes we had.
FAQ
You may have questions
Do you supply only, or do you erect the building as well?
Both. Many customers take a supply-only package and use their own erection team, and many take the full turn-key package where we handle groundworks, steel erection, cladding and handover. We will price whichever suits you.
Can you help with planning permission?
Yes. We produce the drawings and structural information planning departments ask for, and we work with planning consultants across the country every week. We can introduce you to one if you need full application support.
How long does a building take?
A straightforward agricultural or storage building is typically 8 to 12 weeks from order to handover, depending on fabrication slots, groundworks and the weather. Larger commercial projects take longer and we will give you a programme with your quotation.
What sizes can you build?
Everything is bespoke. Clear spans from around 6m up to 40m and beyond, any length in standard bay increments, and eaves heights sized around what has to fit inside.
Is the steelwork CE marked?
Yes. Our fabrication operates under a factory production control system to Execution Class 2, and every building is supplied with the structural calculations and declarations you need.
How much does a steel building cost?
It depends on span, height, cladding specification and groundworks. Tell us roughly what you need and where it is going, and we will send a properly itemised quotation, not a vague guide price.
What cladding options do I have?
Single skin 0.7mm Plastisol sheeting, insulated composite panels, fibre cement, Yorkshire boarding, concrete panels to 1m, 2m, 3m or 4m high, or any combination. Roof lights are specified per bay so the building is usable without lighting on.
Do you do the foundations and floor?
Yes. Our own groundworks teams set out and pour the foundations, drainage and power-floated floor slab. If your own contractor is doing the base we will supply the setting-out drawings and holding down bolt details.
What are your payment terms?
Supply only is 40% with order and 60% before delivery. Supply and erect is 40% with order, 50% before delivery and 10% on completion. Everything is confirmed in writing on your quotation.
Know roughly what you need? We will price it properly.
Send us the sizes and the site, and we will come back with an itemised quotation: steel, cladding, doors, groundworks and delivery, all set out line by line.
