Steel fabrication for Loughton

MAH Steel fabricates structural steel at our Gravesend workshop in Kent for extensions, loft conversions and basement projects in Loughton, Chigwell, Buckhurst Hill and Theydon Bois, with delivery by lorry-mounted crane (HIAB). Loughton has three conservation areas and 56 listed buildings, with Epping Forest bounding the town to the west.

Loft, basement and extension steel for this part of Essex is fabricated at the Gravesend workshop from the structural engineer's drawings, using a large stock of sections held there, and checked before it is loaded. The principal road corridor runs from Gravesend onto the M25 and off at the A121 exit signed for Waltham Abbey and Loughton, with the M11 along the eastern edge of the town.

Because the steel travels from Kent into Essex, the Dartford Crossing charge is a cost to allow for. For the lift itself, MAH runs HIAB lorry-mounted cranes with 15 m reach, which suits tight access and residential streets, 22 m for versatile mid-range lifting and 30 m with a fly jib for high-reach work where access is complex. Reach and feasibility are confirmed for each job, and the operators are ALMI trained and regularly assessed.
