Structural Steelwork in Newcastle.

Newcastle's building work spans the Quayside offices, the Tyne's riverside fabrication yards and the trading estates of Gateshead and North Tyneside. Structural steel underpins nearly all of it, and we fabricate to BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2 and install with our own directly employed crews.

Client reviews
Sir Robert McAlpine logo

"I've worked with UIS for several years on some high profile and very complex projects.

Start to finish

One team, from drawing to installed.

Newcastle sits within our North East coverage, served as a single source from design to installation. Our employed teams design, fabricate and install, so one firm owns the job from drawing to erected frame. Steel is made at our South Yorkshire base and put up on site by our own fitters, worked to BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2 at around 100 tonnes each month.

Common questions

FAQs

Yes. We deliver and install structural steel across Newcastle and the North East, from NE1 in the centre to NE4 and NE6, the NE11 Team Valley, and NE28 and NE29 towards the coast. Fabrication happens at our South Yorkshire base.

Yes. Every frame is fabricated to BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2 and UKCA marked, backed by an ISO 9001 quality system. We also hold CHAS Elite, SafeContractor and ConstructionLine Gold, so the accreditations and documents your principal contractor needs come with the steel.

No. Our design, fabrication and installation are all done by people we employ, so no part of your Newcastle job is passed to a labour agency or outside gang. That single line of responsibility is a large part of why contractors keep coming back to us.

We survey access before fabrication so steel can be sized, sequenced and delivered to suit the site, whether it is an open unit on the NE11 Team Valley or a tight riverside plot. Deliveries and lifts are planned around the room available for cranes and vehicles.

We supply contractors and developers across commercial and industrial work - warehousing and logistics, manufacturing, retail parks, offices and mezzanine schemes. Our packages run from primary and secondary steelwork and portal frames through to staircases, access platforms, connections and alterations to existing structures.
