Project scope

This time we worked with fabricated structural steel for a loft conversion based in Southwest London. Loft conversions nowadays have become very popular amongst our customers. With the increasing amount of people working from home, the demand for loft conversion steel beams has become very high. No surprise, this loft conversion in London required fabricated steel beams as well.

The Process

The steel was selected from our large stock facility and taken to the saw. Then we checked it off against the cutting list and sawed to the correct length. This is the utmost precision and attention to details that we’re very proud of, same with all other jobs. We do quite a lot of checks, but it doesn’t take a lot of time, and we can always guarantee the correct result, up to the finest millimetre!

Once we cut the material, then we transport it by a forklift to the steel fabrication area, ready for our experienced steel fab team to start the project. Our workshop manager issues job tickets and Tekla drawings. Before the steel fabrication team start, our in-house inspector checks all material once again! It’s very important to pay such attention to details every step of the way. Quality control is key!

The steels were cut to the correct size and fabricated to the customer’s specification. Once the steel beams are fabricated, they are then sent through quality control and transferred to the spray booth and coated to 75 microns with our grey zinc phosphate primer. As always, this is carried out in accordance with CE marking (EN1090-2)

The Final Details

Steels were delivered with our 22m metre crane and lifted up to scaffolding and into position for the client.

The customer is then asked to check if they are happy, and all is correct. Clients are our priority, and we maintain our client relationships with trust on every steel project, so everything has to be spot on. The job is then signed off.

On to the next job!
