Mezzanine floor steelwork fabricated and fitted in West Cumbria.

This project included the full structural steel frame at around 20m long, along with two staircases, all designed and installed to suit the space and the customer’s access requirements.

We also fitted removable handrails to allow easy access for a forklift when needed, while still keeping the area safe and practical for everyday use.

A solid, tidy installation completed and ready for use.

Recently completed installation of a galvanised steel access staircase for a set of flats in Cockermouth.

The project involved removing the existing handrail section to create a new access point, allowing us to install these bolt-together galvanised steps to provide safe and durable access to the upper level.

The staircase was designed to be strong, practical and low maintenance, with the galvanised finish helping it stand up to the elements for years to come.

Another tidy installation completed and ready for use.

A little throwback to a project we completed a few years ago installing wall-top railings along a boundary wall along with a pair of bespoke gates.

The railings were designed to sit neatly on top of the wall to add extra security while keeping a clean, traditional look, with the matching gates completing the entrance.

Always good to look back at some of our previous fabrication and installation work.

🎮 Side Quest Completed 🎮

What began as a random idea became a fully self-designed, fabricated, and galvanised anvil — engineered properly from concept to completion.

Because if you’re going to do a side project, you may as well do it right.
Main quest resumes shortly 😄

Proud to share one of our latest bespoke projects ✨

This custom steel floating staircase, expertly engineered and clad in solid oak, is paired with a bespoke curved handrail designed for a completely seamless finish.

Every detail of this staircase was carefully considered — from the hidden steel structure to the smooth flow of the handrail — combining strength, precision engineering, and refined craftsmanship.

If you’re looking for high-end bespoke steelwork that elevates your space, we’d love to help.
