Steel beam & RSJ installation in Blackpool & the Fylde
Need a steel beam or RSJ installed in Blackpool & the Fylde? We supply and fit steel to your engineer's drawings — or fit steel you've ordered — for knock-throughs, extensions and lofts.
Blackpool's tall Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them former guest houses, are full of structural work: guest-house layouts opened back into family homes, new openings in party walls, and chimney breasts out over several floors.
We supply and install steel beams (usually called RSJs), columns and goalpost frames to the structural engineer's specification — for internal knock-throughs, rear extensions, bifold and sliding door openings, and loft conversions.

Steel beam & RSJ installation in Blackpool & the Fylde: your questions answered
Do you cover Blackpool & the Fylde?

Do you supply the steel as well as fitting it?
Yes. We can supply and fit, or fit steel that you or your builder have ordered, provided it matches the engineer's specification.
How do you get a long steel beam into a house?
Usually through a door, window or rear opening. For tight access the engineer can specify a beam made in sections and bolted together in place.
What is a goalpost frame?
Two steel columns and a beam forming a frame. It is used where a wall is removed down to the floor — such as a wide opening into a rear extension — so the load goes straight down to the foundations.
How long does a steel beam installation take?
A single beam in an internal wall is typically installed in a day or two. Goalpost frames and multi-beam jobs take two to four days, plus making good.
