About this service

What we deliver.

Universal Industrial Services fabricates bespoke stainless steel packages for main contractors, procurement leads, architects, and engineering partners across the UK from our Rotherham base.

Trading since 1994 under BS EN 1090 EC2, ISO 9001, UKCA, CE, CHAS Elite, and ConstructionLine Gold, with our own installation teams and £10 million PL and EL cover published.

Quote turnaround is same-day on small domestic enquiries and 1-2 weeks on large commercial packages, so procurement and programme planning start with a priced take-off rather than a ballpark.

£10 million public liability and £10 million employers' liability, published figures that match the sector's visible benchmark. A 12-month defect liability period sits on top of the steelwork, through one named point of contact - not passed between trades after practical completion.
