Common questions
Before you send your drawings.
How quickly will I get a price?
Typically within 72 hours for a standard job. Simple beam orders are often quicker, so call if you’re up against it. Complex packages can take a little longer.
Is there a minimum order?
No. We cater for every size of job, from a single beam to a full frame. Delivery is priced on the size of the order and where it’s going, and included in your quote.
Do you work from my engineer’s drawings?
Yes. We fabricate to your engineer’s design and calculations, and agree any connection details before we start. Structural steel does need a structural engineer, and we’re happy to work with the engineer of your choice.
What do you need to price accurately?
Drawings, calcs, the execution class if known, the finish, the site postcode and the date you need steel. Send what you have and we’ll ask for anything that’s missing.
What finishes do you offer?
Primed or painted in our workshop, or hot-dip galvanised, which usually adds 3–4 days.
Do you deliver, and can you offload?
Yes, we deliver on our own lorry across the East of England, and further depending on the job. The lorry doesn’t have a crane, so you’ll need people, a forklift, a telehandler or a crane on site to offload. Tell us what you’ll have and we’ll load to suit.
Do you install the steel?
We fabricate and deliver, ready for your own team or erector to install. Fitting isn’t a standard service yet, but if you need it, ask us and we’ll see what we can do.
