What grades of universal beam do you stock?

Standard supply is S275 and S355 to BS EN 10025, fully mill-certified with heat numbers traceable to the rolling mill. Other grades — including weathering and stainless — are available to order on request.

Can I order universal beam cut to length, drilled and notched?

Yes. Every UB section is cut to your specified length and we can drill, notch, end-plate, weld and shot-blast / paint to your engineer's detail before delivery — all in-house under BS EN 1090 EXC 3.

How quickly can universal beam be delivered?

Stock UB sections typically dispatch within 3–5 working days of order acceptance. Fabricated packages run to a confirmed production schedule agreed at order, with weekly progress reporting and HIAB offload UK-wide.

Do you supply mill certificates with universal beam?

Yes. EN 10204 3.1 mill certificates are issued with every UB order, fabricated work ships with the CE / UKCA Declaration of Performance and full weld records, and trade buyers can have certification consolidated per project.

Can I buy universal beam without a trade account?

Yes. Homeowners, self-builders, architects and contractors can request a quote with no minimum order. Trade accounts are available for repeat buyers wanting consolidated billing and credit terms.
