Chapeltown and Thorncliffe
Chapeltown's employment land centres on the Thorncliffe park, where long-industrial ground suits replacement frames and extensions. We design around existing levels, services and neighbouring operations.
Commercial Steel Buildings in Chapeltown.
Chapeltown holds Sheffield's northern industrial edge, with the long-established Thorncliffe park and the Ecclesfield metal trades either side of the A61. We design, fabricate to BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2 at our Rotherham workshop and install commercial steel buildings here with our own directly employed teams.

Accredited for design, fabrication and installation, with the paperwork to prove it.
- BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2, UKCA marked: the execution class your engineer's design legally has to be fabricated to.
- Coded welders, BS EN ISO 9606: every structural weld made by an approval-tested welder, traceable on the documentation.
- ISO 9001 quality management: a quality system audited end to end, not a badge on a footer.
- CHAS Elite, SafeContractor & ConstructionLine Gold: the pre-qualification pack your procurement team lifts straight into a PQQ.
- GBP 10m public and GBP 10m employers liability: published figures, because your procurement team needs them on file.
- Directly employed, CSCS-carded site teams: the people on your site are ours, not subcontracted, so one team owns the result.

Common questions
FAQs
Yes. Our fabrication workshop is at Hellaby, Rotherham, and our own design, fabrication and installation teams cover Chapeltown, Ecclesfield and the whole of Sheffield's northern fringe.
Yes. Thorncliffe's plots carry decades of industrial use, so extensions and replacement frames are designed around existing services, levels and live neighbouring operations. We survey first and detail the steel to what is actually there.
Yes. Ecclesfield's engineering and metalworking firms need craneage-ready frames, ventilation openings and heavier floor loadings. We design the portal frame around the machinery schedule, not the other way round.
Yes. The directly employed teams that fabricate your steelwork also erect it, so one company carries the programme from design through installation to the aftercare that follows.
Everything is fabricated to BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2 with UKCA marking, welded by coded welders to BS EN ISO 9606, under ISO 9001, CHAS Elite, SafeContractor and ConstructionLine Gold.
The footprint, eaves height and intended use, the site postcode, your dates and whether you need installation as well as supply. Attach drawings if you have them; a dimensioned sketch works too.
