01 — Local relevance

Why a fabricator based in Swindon works for Somerset.

Somerset is a natural extension of our Wiltshire and Bristol work. From Swindon it's under an hour to Bath, and roughly the same to Frome, Radstock and the Mendips. Central and south Somerset — Wells, Shepton Mallet, Glastonbury, Street, Yeovil — are longer runs, so we plan those into a proper day rather than a two-hour there-and-back.

The character of Somerset property is unmistakable: honey-coloured Bath stone terraces, Georgian Bath and Bathford townhouses, Mendip stone villages, Somerset Levels farmsteads, and market-town centres in Frome, Shepton Mallet and Wells. Each of those settings has its own steel-fabrication requirements, from conservation-approved railings to structural beams inside 200-year-old walls.

For contractors and architects working in Bath's UNESCO World Heritage core, we're used to the constraint envelope: planning sensitivity, tight access, and finishes that have to disappear against Bath stone. For rural clients on the Levels and around the Mendips, we're used to yards, gates and structural steel installed with a HIAB rather than a mobile crane.

03 — Common Somerset problems

The steel work we're asked for most in Somerset.

Somerset property stock includes UNESCO-protected Georgian Bath townhouses, Mendip stone villages, Somerset Levels farmsteads (many with barn conversions), Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Frome and Shepton Mallet, and modern estates around Yeovil, Bridgwater and Taunton. Bath and its conservation setting drive a lot of conservation-sensitive gate, railing and balustrade work; the Levels and Mendips drive structural steel and agricultural fabrication.

Conservation-sensitive railings and balconies in Bath

Bath's UNESCO status means visible external metalwork on Georgian terraces is scrutinised. We design railings, balconies and gates that read as period-appropriate and match consented drawings.

Structural beams for Bath and Frome period conversions

Georgian and Victorian Somerset stock frequently needs steel beams retrofitted for kitchen knock-throughs and loft conversions. We size and install to your Structural Engineer's calcs, propping planned in advance.

Barn conversions on the Mendips and the Levels

Agricultural buildings turning into homes need beam grids, feature stairs, external stairs and often heavy structural interventions. That's core work for us.

Damp-driven corrosion on Levels properties

Sustained damp on the Levels destroys under-specified paint. We specify a proper primer and top-coat system — or stainless where a balustrade is involved — so the fabrication is still sound years down the line.

Climate & exposure
The Somerset Levels are a wet climate — high water table, sustained damp, flood-plain conditions in places. External steel here needs a serious paint or galvanising system. Bath's frequent Atlantic-fed rain equally demands a proper corrosion spec.
Access & infrastructure
Access into central Bath is heavily constrained — clean-air zone, one-way streets, controlled parking, listed-building planning. We plan installation around those constraints. On the Levels, access is by narrow droves; scheduling around wet ground is normal.
04 — Our process

From your first call to the signed-off installation in Somerset.

  1. Step 1

    Free site survey

    We come to your Somerset property, measure the opening or footprint ourselves, and photograph anything the drawings don't show.

  2. Step 2

    Written quote & design

    You receive a written, itemised quote with materials, finishes and lead time. No verbal estimates that drift once work starts.

  3. Step 3

    Workshop fabrication

    Steel is cut, drilled, welded and finished in our Swindon workshop to BS EN 1090 — not knocked together on the driveway.

  4. Step 4

    Delivery & installation

    Our CSCS-carded install team delivers, sets out and fits the work at your Somerset address, plumb and square, with the site left tidy.

  5. Step 5

    Sign-off & guarantee

    You walk the finished work with us, and the fabrication and installation is covered by our written guarantee. £2m public liability throughout.
