"Excellent company. Large steels required in the roof, running the length of the house. I sent them the plans and they competitively priced it up for me. When I ordered, they checked the measurements and requirements ensuring everything was correct."

Steel RSJs for extensions and conversions

If your building is old, then the chances are that its internal walls cannot support any additional structure created by a loft conversion. Due to increased material and labour costs associated with timber joists, modern builders prefer using steel RSJs. Request a quote today.

Steel beams for domestic and commercial loft conversions

We can offer you expert advice on what types of beam you’ll need. We can fabricate beams to suit your project. Our steel beams can be easily placed above your old ceiling joists with a gap of around 1 centimetre between the old joists and new beams. 

The most common type of steel beam is an RSJ or Rolled Steel Joist. RSJs come with tapered flanges, which differentiate them from universal beams (UBs). In many loft conversion projects, PFC or Parallel Flange Channel are also used as replacements for roof purlins. We can provide you with all types of steel beam. 

Though there are some advantages of timber loft conversion beams, steel is relatively cheap and is often used more extensively than timber beams. The only disadvantage of steel beams is the weight, which can make moving them difficult in the confined roof space.

Expertise in precision and high-grade steel beams

We can provide you with high quality UBs and RSJs, which are commonly used by UK builders. These can be fitted easily into timber joists. However, when space is a problem, a UC or universal column can also be used. Contact us for more information about our beams and prices.
