STEEL BUILDING SOLUTIONS
TRUSTED BY
INDUSTRY SECTORS
PROJECT EXAMPLES
Steel frame buildings are exceptionally durable and cost-effective, ideal for a new premises, additional storage or outbuildings for the agricultural industry, warehouses for large operations and machinery, stables/equestrian buildings, industrial buildings, and storage units.
We can also help with structural steelwork on existing buildings.
All of our buildings are finished to the highest quality standards, manufactured to withstand the worst winter weather conditions that the UK has to offer.
Customer satisfaction is our number one goal, and our specialist team is on hand to help you through the entire process, from initial specifications and architectural drawings, to initial quote, all the way to manufacturing and installing your new steel building.
We configure the project to your requirements, including budget range, timescales, materials, specifications, and frame strength.
Our construction services include expert advice and accurate quotations, so you can take advantage of our years of experience as quality steel building suppliers. The durability of steel structures is important to any business, and so we ensure our frames meet all strength expectations from the original plans.
Our bespoke steel buildings are ideal for steel garages, commercial facilities, industrial units, storage buildings, automotive or vehicle storage, farm sheds/agricultural buildings, equestrian steel buildings, domestic steel buildings, aircraft hangars, and retail solutions.
We take you through the entire building design and frame construction process. We create cold rolled steel buildings, which use high quality steel with the state of the art functionality, meeting all British standards.
Why Choose a Structural Steel Building?
Structural steel components are lighter and more robust than wood or concrete. Because of the portal frame, vast or high areas may be spanned without internal walls or pillars when constructing in steel. Open, accessible storage areas may be utilised for warehouses, aircraft hangars, industrial, agricultural structures, storage units, workshop buildings, car test centres and horse riding facilities.
Using a portal frame structure reduces both the construction costs and the time it takes to build and provides a more durable and lower maintenance solution. With steel construction, you get better structures in less time and for less money.
Why Choose Steelgram as Your Steel Building Company?
With over 50 years of total construction experience in the office, we can offer our clients high-quality advice and assistance on every given project. Providing more than simply a custom cold rolled steel structure is something we take great pleasure in for our clients.
We collaborate with our clients to deliver a comprehensive turnkey solution, including groundwork, drainage services, brickwork and blockwork, windows, interior woodwork, plumbing and electrics, expert structural steelwork installation, insulated cladding, roller doors, and steel security doors.
Full Metal Building Project Management
With us, you’ll be working with a team of civil engineers, structural engineers, contract managers, and site managers with a wealth of experience in the construction sector. This guarantees that each and every project is meticulously planned, completed safely, on schedule, and on budget.
In order to guarantee that your custom building project goes off well, we provide guidance on every element of the project, starting with the planning stage.
Calculation Estimates and 3D Designs
Our estimating department can provide a 3D concept drawing and a total price for your custom project. After that, they’ll work with you from start to finish on the design to meet your specific needs.
As part of the process, we’ll give budget advice and value engineering solutions to help you get the most bang for your buck. In addition, we’ll provide you with a quote for your job and let you know what’s included and what isn’t.
We can save you money on architects and structural engineers since our drawings are utilised for planning applications. In addition, all of our buildings include structural calculations for the frame, which are needed by building rules.
Large Scale Buildings and Aircraft Hangars
We have you covered for anything from steel buildings to aeroplane hangars and everything in between. You don’t have to worry about finding a location to keep your construction supplies since we’ve got you covered.
Our steel constructions can accommodate whatever type of storage you choose; we are confident in our ability to accomplish so.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns about our steel buildings, aircraft storage, or aircraft hangars. We are happy to assist you.
UK-Wide Delivery and Installation Capabilities
We work with companies across the UK to realise their new steel buildings.
As we design, manufacture, and install the building, we can keep a close eye on the project, and ensure we meet all cost and delivery estimates in the original plan.

| Issue | What Goes Wrong | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Inferior Steel Grades | S235 steel instead of S355 | Weaker structure, reduced lifespan |
| Weak Galvanisation | 120g/m² zinc coating instead of 275g/m² | Faster corrosion, especially in damp/coastal areas |
| Underspecified Load Ratings | Generic calculations instead of BS EN 1991 standards | Increased risk of collapse in high-wind or heavy snow areas |
| Hidden Costs | Missing fixings, weak purlins, or poor foundations | Unexpected expenses after purchase |
| Difficult Assembly | Misaligned parts, on-site modifications required | Extra labour and time wasted |
What Can Go Wrong with a Manufacturer? Here’s What To Avoid:
- Inferior steel grades – Many low-cost providers use S235-grade steel (yield strength of 235 MPa) instead of the industry-preferred S355-grade steel (minimum 355 MPa yield strength), which bends more easily under stress, reducing structural integrity.
- Weak galvanisation or coatings – Some suppliers cut costs by using steel with thin zinc coatings (120g/m² instead of 275g/m² or even 350g/m² for high-corrosion areas), making it far more susceptible to rust, especially in damp or coastal environments.
- Underspecified load ratings – Wind and snow loads vary drastically across the UK, but budget kits often skip BS EN 1991-1-4 (wind action) and BS EN 1991-1-3 (snow load) calculations, leading to unstable structures in areas with higher exposure. For reference, a steel building in Scotland should withstand up to 1.5kN/m² snow load, while a southern UK location may only require 0.75kN/m².
- Hidden cost traps – Some companies strip down their base price by excluding essential components like galvanised purlins (recommended minimum 140mm x 65mm x 2mm for spans under 6m), reinforced eaves beams, or hot-dip galvanised fixings, leading to unplanned extra costs.
- Difficult assembly – Poorly designed or imprecisely cut components can cause misalignment issues, where bolt holes don’t match up, requiring on-site drilling and extra labour. Bolted frame connections with pre-drilled, laser-cut plates (minimum 12mm thick) ensure smoother assembly.
| Component | Recommended Specification | Why It’s Important |
|---|---|---|
| Frame | Hot-rolled I-beams (e.g., 254 x 146 x 43 UB) | Superior strength for large spans |
| Roof & Walls | 0.7mm+ steel cladding | Prevents denting and early wear |
| Coatings | 275g/m² galvanisation or Aluzinc | Maximum corrosion resistance |
| Wind Load | 0.8 – 1.2 kN/m² (site-dependent) | Prevents structural failure in storms |
| Snow Load | 0.75 – 1.5 kN/m² (site-dependent) | Prevents roof collapse under heavy snow |
