MorFabrication is a BS EN 1090-1 / 1090-2 Factory Production Control (FPC) certified structural steel fabricator based in Washington, Tyne and Wear — supplying CE / UKCA-marked structural steel up to Execution Class 2 (EXC 2) to main contractors, architects, structural engineers and developers across Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham, Tees Valley and the rest of the UK.
We fabricate beams, columns, portal frames, trusses, mezzanine floors, staircases, balustrades, balcony frames, retail and hospitality structural metalwork, and custom steel components in grades from S275 through S355 and up to S690, working to BS EN 1090-2, BS EN ISO 3834-2:2021 welding quality, and ISO 9001:2015 quality management.
We are a UKAS-accredited supplier (cert via SCCS, Notified Body 2273) and our integrated workshop also runs in-house powder coating, stainless steel fabrication, and finishing — saving programme time on multi-package projects where structural steel needs galvanising, painting or coating before installation.
UB, UC, UKB, UKC, PFC, RHS and SHS sections in S275 / S355 / S460 / S690. Cut, drilled, coped and welded to drawing, supplied loose for site erection or pre-fitted with end plates, cleats, fin plates and base plates. Hot-dip galvanised or coated as specification demands.
Industrial and warehouse portal frames — rafters, columns, haunches, bracing, eaves beams, purlins and rails. Fabrication packages from single-bay extensions to full multi-bay structures.
Roof trusses, lattice trusses, space frames and bespoke truss assemblies for industrial, commercial and architectural use. Steel grade and section optimised against load and span calculations.
Commercial, industrial and architectural stairs — straight, dogleg, helical, spiral. Combined with steel or glass balustrades and handrails. Powder-coated, galvanised, blackened or polished finishes.
Mezzanine floors, plant platforms, access walkways, gantries and crash decks. Built to support point loads, UDL, mobile loads and dynamic loads per design.
Structural metalwork for shop fit-outs, hospitality venues, restaurants and stadium hospitality (see the Hill Dickinson Stadium / Everton Stadium case study).
Residential balcony steelwork, commercial entrance canopies, signage frames and architectural support steel.
Wind bracing, vertical bracing, fin plates, gussets, cleats, base plates — manufactured to BS EN 1090-2 with full materials traceability.
Structural steel from the North East, supplied UK-wide. Workshop between Newcastle, Sunderland and Durham (Washington, Tyne and Wear). Direct local delivery across Tyne & Wear, Northumberland, County Durham and Tees Valley; pallet courier and dedicated transport anywhere in the UK — Yorkshire, Manchester, Birmingham, Scotland, London and beyond.
Commercial construction — office buildings, retail units, warehouses, distribution centres. Steel-frame and steel-plus-concrete composite designs.
Residential — structural beams for extensions and loft conversions, balcony frames, mezzanines in apartments, structural steel for new-build housing.
Industrial — factory frames, plant platforms, machinery support frames, heavy-duty mezzanines, gantries, structural cladding support.
Hospitality and retail fit-out — structural metalwork on fit-outs where bespoke design and finish quality matter as much as load calculations. (Recently delivered for Hill Dickinson Stadium West Stand hospitality.)
Education and public-sector — structural steelwork for schools, leisure centres, health facilities — documented to PQQ standards.
Stadium and venue projects — architectural and structural metalwork on stadia and arenas (see the Everton Stadium case study).
We are formally certified up to Execution Class 2 (EXC 2) under BS EN 1090-2 — the class required for the vast majority of UK commercial, residential and industrial structural steelwork. For projects requiring EXC 3 or EXC 4 (large bridges, stadia primary structure, critical infrastructure), please discuss at quote stage.
Yes. Our BS EN 1090-1 FPC certificate (number 2273-CPR-4181) covers UKCA and CE marking of load-bearing and welded structural steel components up to EXC 2. We issue a Declaration of Performance with delivered steelwork.
S275, S355, S460 and S690 across UB, UC, PFC, RHS, SHS, CHS and plate. Material is sourced from approved UK and EU mills with full mill certificates.
We fabricate to drawings produced and approved by your structural engineer. We can supply fabrication detail drawings for sign-off and can recommend trusted structural engineers if you don't have one. We do not stamp or certify structural calculations ourselves.
We coordinate hot-dip galvanising through a partner galvaniser and run priming, painting and powder coating in-house. Duplex (galvanise + powder coat) packages are a regular request — commonly used for outdoor architectural steelwork.
Our workshop handles standard structural beam lengths up to typical commercial requirements. For very long sections (12m+), we coordinate splice details that work with site lifting plans. Discuss specific lengths at quote stage.
Yes. One-off beams, single mezzanines, individual stairs, residential extensions — all welcome. No minimum order on fabrication.
Direct delivery across the North East — Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham, Tees Valley, Northumberland — on our own transport. UK-wide on dedicated transport, articulated lorry or pallet courier as appropriate to load.
