Custom Steel Beam Services
RSJ beams made to order provide solutions for custom steel beams for construction and structural projects. These beams are made to your specifications, so they fit and will perform as intended in place, whether a residential, commercial or industrial application.
They can not only create a structurally robust design based on specific loading requirements, but they also help to support the construction process by minimising on-site modification and material waste, ultimately saving time and costs.
Custom steel beams have unparalleled design possibilities and allow for a much wider range without building constraints of standard beam sizes. They also have a wide range of steel fabricating options to meet rigid and exact specifications. Each beam is manufactured to necessary quality standards and is ultimately made to last.
The process from the first consultation to the delivery as well as the specifications is handled professionally and creates a series of custom steel beams that will be readily integrated to any project, acting to facilitate efficiency and performance from day one.
What Are Universal Steel Beams?
Universal steel beams, also known as builders beams, H-beams, I-beams, or R.S.J.’s, are integral to any construction project.
These steel beams are shaped with an I- or H-shaped profile, making them a good option for construction of large projects because they combine strength, rigidity and size.
You will find a steel beam used across every type of construction project from large buildings, to civil engineering works, to renovations for floor plans or load bearing walls.
They work extremely well to carry incredibly heavy weights, meaning they are perfect to prop buildings within a large range of constructions or developments.
Stability is critical to the quality of a building, that is why here at Southend Steels, we will fabricate our steel to the required industry standards i.e. EN10025.
Beams are the very backbone to the stability of a building, supporting and spreading the load. With the highest quality of steel beams used you can be assured of the sustainability and safety of any building.

FAQs
What types of universal steel beams do Southend Steels supply?
Southend Steels supplies a wide range of universal steel beams, including H-beams, I-beams, and RSJs (Rolled Steel Joists).
Our beams come in a variety of standard pre-cut sizes, and we also offer custom-fabricated beams for projects requiring specific dimensions or load capacities.
All beams are made to EN10025 steel standards, ensuring strength and durability for residential, commercial, and industrial construction projects. We deliver across Essex, Kent, and East London, with next-day delivery available on most items.
What is the difference between an I-beam and an H-beam?
I-beams and H-beams differ in their shape, load capacity, and typical uses. I-beams have a narrow flange and are ideal for smaller to medium projects, offering good strength while saving material.
H-beams have a wider flange, providing higher load-bearing capacity and better stability for large-scale construction such as multi-storey buildings or civil engineering projects.
Both beam types are available from Southend Steels in standard and custom sizes, manufactured to EN10025 quality standards.
What grades of steel are used for universal beams?
Southend Steels uses high-quality structural steel grades for all universal beams, including S275 and S355 (EN10025 European standard).
For projects that reference international standards, we also provide beams in ASTM grades such as A36, A992, and A572, each chosen for their mechanical properties and chemical composition to suit different applications.
These grades ensure your beams are strong, durable, and compliant with building regulations.
What locations do you deliver universal steel beams to?
We are based in Southend and can deliver universal steal beams and steel supplies across London, Essex and Kent.
Our delivery areas include London, Romford, Stratford, Kings Cross, Ilford, Harlow, Basildon, East London, Canary Wharf, Braintree, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Chelmsford, Colchester, Docklands, Barking and Dagenham.
Can Southend Steels create custom steel beams for my project?
Yes we can design and fabricate universal steel beams to your exact specifications. If you need a specific size, shape, or load capacity, our team ensures each beam fits perfectly and meets EN10025 quality standards. Custom beams help reduce on-site adjustments and material waste, keeping your project on schedule and within budget.
Can universal steel beams serve as columns?
Universal steel beams and universal steel columns serve distinct purposes due to their unique properties. Universal Beams excel at carrying tension loads and are suitable for horizontal applications like roof rafters or floor joists.
Universal Columns are better suited for compression loads, making them ideal for vertical applications such as bridges or walls. Selecting the appropriate beam type is crucial for ensuring structural integrity and preventing potential failures.
