Beams, goalpost frames, columns, lintels.
For houses around the town, UB and UC sections cut to length become extension and knock-through beams. Goalpost and box frames, baseplated columns, lintels and spliced sections cover the tighter jobs.

Made for the fields and streets around here
Steel for farm buildings and town properties alike.
The land around Bury St Edmunds still grows a lot of what a farm building has to hold, from grain to machinery.
Farms, builders and homeowners around Bury St Edmunds come to us for structural steel built from a structural engineer's drawing, whatever the job, a grain store frame or one beam for an extension.
Fabrication is our part of the job, not design. Your engineer settles section sizes and connections, and we can help refine details so the steel is practical to make and fit, then deliver and erect it if you want that too.

The coverage
Bury St Edmunds and West Suffolk
What we fabricate here
Farm buildings, beams and mezzanine floors.
The drawing decides every cut, drilled hole and weld. Here is the range we cover for this corner of Suffolk, from one beam to a complete farm building.
Portal frames, purlins, grain stores.
Grain stores, machinery sheds and other farm buildings on the land around here need portal frames, columns, rafters, purlins and cladding rails, and we add mezzanine floors for units on the town's estates.
Platforms, walkways, supports.
The food and manufacturing sites on Eastern Way and Northern Way need plant platforms, handrailed walkways, pipe supports and machine bases, measured on site wherever steel has to work around plant already there.
A free estimate starts with the engineer's drawings. Once the price is agreed we check dimensions, measure on site if steel has to match an existing building or yard, and confirm sections and holes before cutting starts.
Cutting, drilling and welding happen at our Norwich workshop, with a trial fit for complex connections. Most steel leaves primed, with paint, galvanising or powder coating arranged where wanted, and a HIAB lorry handles the heavier loads.
Tell us about access before delivery day. Farm tracks, narrow village lanes and overhead cables all change how steel gets onto a Bury St Edmunds site.
Plan your steel order
Get your farm or house steel priced early.
A farm frame waits on foundations and anchor bolts, and a house build waits on its beam, so steel sits on the critical path either way. The earlier you share your programme, the better we can plan around it.
The drawings, the site address, the finish you want and your target dates get us started. Need a particular standard or a coded welder for the job? Say so and we will confirm what we can offer.

What we need for a proper price.
The structural engineer's drawing and calculation sheet come first, showing sizes, lengths and connections. Photos of the site help too, along with delivery access and any limits a farm track or narrow lane puts on lifting.
We supply structural steel to Bury St Edmunds and the farms, villages and estates around it, including Thurston, Stowmarket, Newmarket and Mildenhall, delivered from our Norwich workshop down the A14.

Steel questions from farms and builders.
Answers on drawings, lead times, finishes and fitting for Bury St Edmunds work.
Browse all fabrication FAQsHow long does a farm building frame take?
That turns on the size of the frame, which sections are needed and how busy the workshop is that month. One beam moves faster than a full grain store frame. Send drawings and dates and we will give you a realistic figure.
Can you make one beam for a house extension?
Yes, single beams for extensions and knock-throughs are everyday work for us around Bury St Edmunds, alongside the bigger farm frames. Give us the section size and length from your engineer to get it priced.
Can you tell me what size beam my extension needs?
No, that decision belongs to a structural engineer, and Building Control will usually want the calculations behind it. Hand us the finished drawing and we make the steel to it, flagging any detail worth adjusting.
See how we work from a drawingWill you cut steel before I agree a price?
No. A free estimate comes first, and we agree the price before starting. Change the drawings later and we tell you the effect on cost before touching any steel.
Can you install the frame on our farm too?
Yes. From one beam going into an existing house to a full portal frame on a farm, our own team handles erection around Bury St Edmunds too, with plant planned for the lift and RAMS provided for the site.

The engineer's drawings, your site address, the finish you want and a target date get things moving. Add photos of the access, especially where a farm track is involved, and our checklist covers the rest.
