A trip to Beccles to measure.
Small repairs can be priced off a photo. For a mezzanine, a stair or a pair of gates we come to Beccles, take levels and sizes, check how a lorry gets in, and write you a free estimate.

Steel fabricators and welders for Beccles
Steel fabrication for Beccles, from Ellough to the quay.
Swift is a Norwich firm. Beccles is 18 miles off along the A146, near enough that we measure, deliver and fit the steel ourselves.
The old airfield at Ellough is where most of the town's industry now sits. Units on Ellough Industrial Estate and Beccles Business Park are mainly light industrial: engineering, storage and trade. They ask for mezzanine floors, access stairs, plant platforms, repairs to racking and roller door frames, bollards, and security gates and fencing for open yards.
Down by the river the needs change. Boatyards along the Waveney use steel cradles, launching trolleys, trailers and slipway fittings, all of which live wet and want galvanising, which can be arranged. In town, and in Worlingham, Bungay, Loddon and Halesworth, builders order RSJs and lintels while householders ask for railings, handrails and garden gates.
Mobile welding in Beccles
How we work in Beccles
Seen in Suffolk, welded in Norfolk.
Three stages, and they are the same for a single side gate as for a whole mezzanine.
Built on the workshop floor.
Fabrication happens in Norwich, to the agreed sizes or an engineer's drawings. Stairs come as stringers, treads and balustrade panels, gates as leaves and posts, platforms as bolted frames, each primed or sent off for the finish you chose.
Loaded, delivered, fitted.
We bring the steel to Beccles ourselves, on a HIAB lorry when pieces are too heavy to handle. Our own fitters put it up: lifted into place, bolted, levelled and checked over with you on the day.
The full list
Eight services on offer to Beccles customers.
For the Ellough units: structural steel such as mezzanines and platforms, steel erection, machinery installation, and steel staircases and balustrades. For houses and riverside properties: metal gates and railings, and architectural metalwork such as balconies and canopies.
Then there is the welder who travels. Mobile welding suits boatyards, farms and yards round Beccles, since the van brings MIG, TIG and MMA plant along with a generator. When a breakage cannot wait for morning, the emergency welding line is 07495 409006.
Structural steel fabrication in BecclesBeccles, quick answers
Three things people ask.
Can you fit a mezzanine floor in a unit at Ellough?
Yes. The columns, beams and stair are fabricated in Norwich and erected in your unit, to a design and loading from your structural engineer. Send the unit size and what the floor must carry and we can begin an estimate.
Do you make trailers and cradles for boatyards?
We make and repair steel cradles, trolleys, trailers, racking and yard gates for yards along the Waveney, and can arrange galvanising so they cope with being wet. Hull repairs are not our trade. For aluminium, ask and we will say what is possible.
Will you come out to Bungay or Halesworth?
Yes. Bungay, Worlingham, Loddon and Halesworth all fall within our Beccles patch, as do the villages and farms in between.
