Cardiff builds across three fronts - the city centre and Bay commercial schemes, the industrial estates east toward St Mellons, and the dockside at Barry. Structural steel carries all three, and we design, fabricate and install each frame with our own directly employed teams.
A free site visit anywhere in Cardiff. Drawings, access and specifications logged. Same-day quote on small domestic structural steelwork enquiries; 1-2 weeks on large commercial tenders with a full take-off.

CF10 covers the commercial city centre and the Cardiff Bay waterfront, both steady sources of office, civic and leisure building. We fabricate the primary frames for these schemes and install the internal staircases and access steel that complete the fit-out.

"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."
Cardiff is covered as part of our work across Wales, run as a single source from first drawing to final bolt. Our own employed teams design, fabricate and install, with no subcontracting in between. Steel is detailed and fabricated at our South Yorkshire workshop, then delivered and erected by our crews, certified to BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2 and made at around 100 tonnes a month.
Start your quoteYes. We fabricate and install structural steel throughout Cardiff and across Wales, covering CF10 and CF11 in the centre, CF14 and CF24, CF3 to the east and CF63 around Barry. Steel is delivered from our South Yorkshire workshop and erected by our own teams.
After we have drawings and a confirmed tonnage, we set out a fabrication and installation programme and hold to it. Keeping design, fabrication and erection in one company means we are not reliant on third-party fabricators, so we can commit to dates with confidence.
Our steel is fabricated to BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2 and UKCA marked, under an ISO 9001 quality system. We are also assessed under CHAS Elite, SafeContractor and ConstructionLine Gold, giving Cardiff main contractors the safety and quality records they need at tender and on site.
No. Both fabrication and installation are carried out by our own employed teams, never handed to outside firms. For your Cardiff project that means the crew erecting the steel already knows how it was detailed and made, and one company answers for the result.
Yes. We survey access first and plan deliveries and lifts around it, whether the site is an open plot near CF63 or a tight CF10 city-centre position. Sequencing steel to match the room for cranes and vehicles keeps erection safe and on programme.
