Project scope

London hosts some of the most exciting and diverse construction projects, from modern developments to historical refurbishments. As a leading steel fabricator conveniently located in Kent—just across the bridge from London—MAH Steel delivers high-quality steel fabrication solutions with efficiency and precision. Our extensive experience in refurbishments makes us the perfect partner for projects requiring specialist expertise in structural steelwork.

One of our recent projects involved the refurbishment and steel extension of an existing public house in Greenwich, London. The client, new to working with us, sought a reliable steel fabricator capable of meeting tight deadlines while maintaining cost-effectiveness. Impressed by our competitive pricing and swift turnaround times, they decided to proceed with us for this exciting transformation.

Expert steel fabrication for London’s refurbishment projects

The project began when the client enquired about our steel fabrication services and requested a quote. Given the nature of the refurbishment, we took a careful approach to ensure structural integrity while seamlessly integrating new extensions. Our team worked closely with the client to fully understand their specifications and objectives, ensuring that every detail was accounted for in the fabrication process.

Once the project was confirmed, our in-house draftsmen meticulously drew up the plans in collaboration with the client’s engineers and architects. This stage was crucial in ensuring that the structural steel components aligned perfectly with the existing building and the planned extensions. By maintaining close communication with the design team, we ensured the final drawings met all specifications with absolute accuracy.

Precision engineering and design collaboration

The client’s engineers specified the structural steel elements, which we sourced directly from our trusted wholesaler. Upon arrival at our facility, our team carefully checked the steel components against the cutting list to guarantee precise measurements before moving to fabrication.

Steel fabrication: a meticulous process

We began the fabrication process by cutting the steel to the exact dimensions required by the client. Our team carefully sawed and prepared each piece, ensuring precise alignment before proceeding with welding. Our highly skilled and coded fabricators welded the components while following the approved project drawings to guarantee accuracy in all connections.

Throughout fabrication, our in-house quality assurance (QA) team conducted thorough inspections to eliminate errors and maintain our high standards. Our team double-checked every joint, weld, and measurement before moving to the finishing stages.

Finishing touches: shot blasting and protective coating

After fabrication, we performed shot blasting to remove surface impurities and prepare the steel for coating. We then applied a zinc phosphate primer, a protective layer that enhances the steel’s durability and resistance to corrosion—essential for ensuring longevity in structural applications.

Delivery and installation: seamless execution

Once the finishing process was complete, we carefully loaded the fabricated steel components onto our lorries for transportation to the site in Greenwich.

Our team then carried out the installation, ensuring it aligned with the client’s project schedule. Thanks to our meticulous planning and efficient processes, we completed the installation swiftly, minimising disruption to the overall refurbishment timeline. The client was highly impressed with both the speed and quality of our workmanship, reaffirming our reputation as a leading steel fabrication partner.

A satisfied client and a continuing partnership

The successful completion of this project not only transformed the public house but also strengthened our relationship with the client, who has since entrusted us with additional projects. At MAH Steel, we take pride in delivering exceptional results, and this case study is a testament to our expertise, precision, and commitment to client satisfaction.
