We price from your drawings.
Send the engineer's drawings and we take off the steel and return a free estimate. Before fabrication starts, critical sizes are checked on site in Ipswich by us, or confirmed in writing by your site manager.
Areas we cover / Steel fabrication Ipswich
Ipswich builds more than anywhere else in Suffolk, and building takes steel. We fabricate beams, frames, stairs and balconies in our Norwich workshop, 43 miles north, then deliver to your site and erect them on the dates your programme sets.

Ipswich, about 43 miles south of our Norwich workshop by the A140 and A14.
Fabricators and steel erectors for Ipswich
Steel fabrication for Ipswich builders and developers.
Let us be plain: this is a Norfolk company. Ipswich work is booked work, fabricated in Norwich and sent south on a set date.
Construction drives most of the demand here. Waterfront regeneration beside the Orwell, new housing out towards Kesgrave, and shop and office refits in the centre all call for structural steel: UB and UC sections, goalpost and box frames, lintels, columns with baseplates, and the steel behind balconies and stairs. It is made to your engineer's drawings and connection details.
Industry is the other half. Ransomes Europark, the Whitehouse and Hadleigh Road estates, the port and the hauliers strung along the A14 and A12 use mezzanines, plant platforms, walkways, barriers, yard steel and machine bases. Felixstowe, Woodbridge and Stowmarket are covered on identical terms, as planned jobs with a date in the diary.
Structural steel fabrication in Ipswich
An Ipswich job, step by step
Drawn, fabricated, then erected to programme.
Main contractors need dates they can rely on, so ours are fixed around your programme.
Made to the drawings.
Sections are cut, drilled and fitted with end plates, cleats, stiffeners and baseplates in Norwich, then marked piece by piece to match the drawing so the erectors know where each one goes. Steel leaves primed unless another finish has been arranged.
Delivered on the day.
Steel arrives in Ipswich on the agreed date, loaded in erection order where the site is tight. We supply RAMS, plan the lift with a telehandler or a hired crane, bolt up, line and level, and leave it ready for the following trades.
Eight in all
What we can and cannot promise in Ipswich.
Planned work is what we travel 43 miles for: structural steel, steel erection, machinery installation, steel staircases and balustrades, architectural metalwork, and metal gates and railings. Each is made in Norwich and fitted in Ipswich on a booked day.
Mobile welding and emergency welding are different at this range. Both are by arrangement in Ipswich, never assumed. Call 07495 409006, explain what has failed, and you will get a clear answer on whether we can attend and how soon.
Steel erection in IpswichIpswich contractors ask
Before you send drawings.
Do you really cover Ipswich from a Norwich workshop?
Yes, for work that can be planned. Fabrication, delivery, erection and installation are scheduled jobs, and the A140 and A14 give a lorry a simple route. What we do not claim is a welder round the corner.
Can you supply and erect to our programme?
Yes. Give us the drawings and your dates and we will say what we can meet before you commit. RAMS are provided for site work and our erectors work alongside your main contractor. Structural calculations stay with your engineer.
Is mobile welding available in Ipswich?
By arrangement. A booked day of site welding or steel alterations in Ipswich is easy to plan. For urgent repairs, ring 07495 409006 and ask.
