Frequently asked questions
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes. Contact us by phone, email or the form on this page to discuss your project and receive a free, no-obligation quote. Where needed, our surveyors visit the site to take measurements first.
Where do you work?
We are based in Hadlow Down, East Sussex, and work throughout Sussex and the surrounding areas including London, Kent, Surrey and Brighton. We have completed projects from Wimbledon and Sevenoaks to Newhaven and Tunbridge Wells.
Do you work on both residential and commercial projects?
Yes. We fabricate and install steelwork for residential properties (extensions, loft conversions, staircases) and commercial developments (hospitals, apartments, schools, offices). Every project is handled from design through to installation.
What is EXC3 steelwork?
BS EN 1090 sorts structural steelwork into four execution classes, EXC1 to EXC4, with stricter requirements at each step. Two Js Metalwork is certified to BS EN 1090 at EXC3, so steelwork made to EXC3 meets its welding requirements, passes its inspections and is made by quality-assured professionals.
Do you handle design, fabrication and installation?
Yes. We manage every stage, from CAD drawings by our in-house detailing team to fabrication in our East Sussex workshop and installation on site. Doing most of the fabrication and assembly in the workshop makes the work on site safer, more efficient and less disruptive.
Do I need EXC2 or EXC3 steelwork?
Your structural engineer or the project specification sets the execution class, not the fabricator. EXC2 covers buildings in general, while EXC3 is for higher-risk work such as bridges. Two Js Metalwork is certified to BS EN 1090 EXC3, so we can fabricate to either class when your drawings call for it.
What is the difference between an RSJ and a universal beam (UB)?
An RSJ is the old name for a rolled steel joist, an I-section with tapered flanges. Today’s beams are universal beams (UBs) with parallel flanges, though builders still call them RSJs. Two Js Metalwork supplies and fabricates UBs to your engineer’s drawings from our workshop in Hadlow Down, East Sussex.
Can you deliver steel beams by HIAB, and what site access do you need?
Yes. Two Js Metalwork delivers with its own HIAB lorry, which lifts 2.7 tonnes at 14.5 metres, so steel can be placed close to where it is needed. When you ask for a quote, give us the site address and access details, including overhead cables and narrow turns.
How do I get a quote for steel beams or fabrication, and can I send drawings?
Yes. Send us your engineer’s drawings or calculation and we will quote for fabrication, finishing and delivery. Include the beam sizes and steel grade, lengths and quantities, the finish you want (primed, painted or galvanised) and the site address. Use the contact form on this page or call 01825 732782.
Is there a steel fabricator near Uckfield or Crowborough?
Yes. Two Js Metalwork is a steel fabricator at Five Chimneys Business Park, Hadlow Down, East Sussex TN22 4DU, close to Uckfield and Crowborough. Design, fabrication and a final quality check all happen at our Hadlow Down site before steel leaves for yours.
