Client reviews
Sir Robert McAlpine logo

"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."

Start to finish

One team, from drawing to installed.

Leeds work spans high-rise city-centre frames and Aire Valley industrial units, and both run better under one accountable team than a split package. We design, fabricate and install in-house, and stay on for the aftercare.
