Project scope

Orpington, a town in Greater London within the Borough of Bromley, is experiencing a surge in residential development and home improvements. Its proximity to central London has made Orpington a popular choice for homeowners looking to expand their living spaces. Steel extensions have become an especially popular solution, offering a robust and durable framework that supports modern architectural designs while ensuring safety and longevity. Homeowners rely on steel beams for their structural strength, allowing open-plan layouts and expansive window openings that align with contemporary design preferences.

MAH Steel – a trusted partner in steel fabrication and supply

Recently, a customer asked us for fabricated steel beams for an extension in Orpington that required a Hiab lift for precise placement. Given the accurate dimensions provided, we quickly moved the order into our streamlined processing system. With the steel already in stock, our team immediately selected the appropriate sizes from our extensive stock facility. We then used a forklift to transport the steel to the cutting station, where our skilled saw technician measured and cut the beams to exact lengths, ensuring precision from the start.

After cutting the beams, our team moved them to the fabrication area. We double-checked all measurements to confirm they matched the specifications before starting the fabrication process. Our technicians meticulously cleaned the ends and added the necessary end plates and connections, ensuring a secure fit during installation.

Throughout the fabrication process, we utilised advanced techniques like CNC steel profiling for precise shapes and dimensions, welding to secure joints, and drilling to create perfectly aligned holes for bolts and connections. By using computerised machinery, we achieved high levels of accuracy and met even the most stringent requirements. Our sandblasting specialists then prepared the steel surfaces, removing impurities before applying a protective coat of paint that enhanced durability and provided long-term corrosion resistance.

After the paint dried, our team conducted a thorough visual inspection to ensure every component met our rigorous quality standards. We checked for alignment, weld integrity, and proper hole placement. We then assembled all the necessary bolts, nuts, washers, and packing plates, ensuring every fixing was secure. The order met all specifications flawlessly, with no defects detected during quality checks.

On-site steel delivery

In the final stage, we loaded the steel onto our 30-meter reach Hiab lorry. This specialised vehicle, capable of lifting and placing heavy steel beams with precision, allows us to deliver even in challenging conditions. Our experienced driver secured the load and expertly maneuvered the lorry to deliver the steel directly to the customer’s site, positioning it exactly where needed at the back of the house. The entire operation ran smoothly and without any delays, reinforcing our reputation for reliability.

At MAH Steel, we understand the critical importance of timing in the construction industry. Delays can disrupt project schedules and increase costs, which is why we commit to delivering on time, even under challenging conditions. With years of experience in steel fabrication, we have refined our processes to provide efficient, cost-effective solutions for all types of home extensions and construction projects.
