Bristol's growth runs from the Harbourside and Temple Quarter regeneration through to the Avonmouth and Severnside industrial belt and the aerospace parks at Filton. Each of those settings leans on structural steel, and we design, fabricate and erect every frame with directly employed teams.
Our mild steel workshop has been busy this week fabricating and welding the structural steelwork for a unique project we have on down in London💥 This project involved ourselves sourcing the CHS steelwork from...

The Harbourside keeps turning dockside plots into offices, homes and leisure space around the Floating Harbour. We fabricate the beam-and-column frames for these mixed-use blocks and thread new steel into the brick bond warehouses that stay in use.

"I've worked with UIS for several years on some high profile and very complex projects. Their attitude and work ethic are second to none - providing high quality services and products which are delivered safely and on time every time. Overall they are a pleasure to do business with and wouldn't hesitate recommending UIS for any steelwork or metalwork packages."
For Bristol projects we are a single source of structural steel across the South West: our own teams design, fabricate and install, with nothing handed to subcontractors. Steel is detailed and made at our South Yorkshire workshop, then delivered and erected on site by the same firm. We turn out about 100 tonnes a month, all to BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2.
Start your quoteYes. We fabricate and install structural steel throughout Bristol and the South West, covering the BS1 and BS2 centre, BS5 and BS16 to the east, and the BS11 and BS34 industrial areas. Our own crews handle delivery and erection on site.
Once drawings are approved we confirm a fabrication and installation programme against the tonnage and our current schedule. With design, fabrication and erection all under one roof, we control each stage ourselves rather than chasing separate suppliers, which keeps delivery dates predictable.
Yes. We do not subcontract erection. The installation crews on your Bristol site are employed by us and work to the same drawings our fabricators used, so responsibility stays with one firm from the first survey through to sign-off on the finished frame.
We plan each lift and delivery around the access we find on site, from open industrial plots in BS34 to constrained city-centre plots in BS1. Sharing survey information early lets us sequence steel deliveries and craneage so erection runs to plan on a restricted footprint.
Most of our Bristol work is commercial and industrial: warehouses and distribution units, factories, retail and trade counters, offices and mezzanine fit-outs. We cover primary and secondary steelwork, portal frames, columns and baseplates, staircases and access platforms, plus structural alterations where an existing building is being extended.
