Project scope

The ever-evolving architecture of London creates a constant demand for high-quality steel fabrication. In boroughs like Kensington, Chelsea, Islington, and Camden, bespoke steelwork is essential – whether for striking staircases in luxury homes or structural beams in residential extensions. Developers, architects, and homeowners alike look for steel solutions that combine structural reliability with clean, tailored design.

MAH Steel: trusted steel fabricators in London

At MAH Steel, we pride ourselves on setting a high standard in London steel fabrication, especially when it comes to bespoke, architecturally sensitive projects like this one in Kensington. Our ability to manage every stage of the process in-house – design, fabrication, finishing, delivery and installation – makes us a go-to partner for complex builds across the capital. Whether it’s a one-off staircase or a full residential extension, we bring the same attention to detail and commitment to quality to every project we take on.

Over the years, we’ve become a trusted name across London by consistently delivering precise, dependable, and beautifully executed steelwork. With decades of hands-on experience and a fully equipped workshop, we specialise in fabricating steel for everything from steel beams for loft conversions to custom architectural features. Our team handles every step of the process in-house – from initial design and material procurement to fabrication, finishing, and final installation – allowing us to guarantee both quality and efficiency at every stage.

That reputation for reliability is exactly why one of our long-standing clients recently returned to us with a particularly ambitious brief. They were managing a high-end residential renovation in Kensington and needed a bespoke steel staircase fabricated and installed. The design was complex, with unique geometry that required total accuracy and an impeccable finish. Having worked with us before, the client knew we had the experience, skill, and capacity to deliver exactly what they needed.

Inside our bespoke steel fabrication process

We kicked off the project with a detailed consultation. Our in-house draftsmen worked closely with the client’s architects and engineers to translate the design concept into fully detailed fabrication drawings. By collaborating early in the process, we ensured the staircase would not only fit the space precisely but also meet all necessary structural and regulatory standards.

Once the design received final approval, we moved quickly into material procurement. We sourced the steel – specified by the client’s engineer – through our trusted suppliers, then inspected every piece to confirm it matched the cutting list. Our fabrication team got to work immediately, cutting and preparing the steel with millimetre accuracy. Each connection, joint, and length had to be perfect to ensure a flawless final fit.

As fabrication progressed, our coded welders assembled the staircase in sections, checking alignment and fit throughout. Rather than relying on drawings alone, we fully assembled the structure in our workshop for a complete dry-fit. This proactive approach allowed us to identify and resolve any minor adjustments in-house, avoiding potential delays or issues during installation.

On-site installation and steel finishing: seamless execution

With the fit confirmed, we prepared the components for finishing. Our team shot blasted the steel to remove impurities and create a clean, even surface. Next, we applied a high-performance zinc phosphate primer, offering strong corrosion resistance and a solid base coat for any finishing treatments to be applied on-site.

After the coating cured, we carefully packed and loaded the components onto our lorry, ready for delivery to Kensington. On-site, our installation team worked in sync with the construction schedule, assembling the staircase exactly as planned. Because we had tested everything in-house, the installation went smoothly—every component slotted into place perfectly, without the need for rework.

The client was delighted with the result. Not only did the staircase meet their design goals, but it was also delivered and installed on time, within budget, and to the exacting standards they expected. They specifically praised the speed of installation and the care evident in every detail of the build.

This project in Kensington showcases what we do best at MAH Steel: transforming bold ideas into expertly crafted steelwork through precision, planning, and execution. As with every project, we approached it with the same commitment to quality and client satisfaction that drives everything we do—and once again, we delivered with pride.
