At Harris Manufacturing Ltd, we provide reliable structural steelwork, steel fabrication and manufacturing services for commercial, industrial, agricultural and residential projects across the UK.
Based in Tamworth, our experienced team works with builders, property developers, architects, contractors, engineers and private clients who need practical support with steelwork projects of all sizes. Whether you need a single fabricated beam, a full steel frame, on-site alterations or a complete manufacture and delivery service, we’re here to help.
We’re known for our reliability, practical advice and manufacturing expertise. That matters, because steelwork needs to be right. It needs to fit. It needs to arrive on time. And it needs to be made by people who understand both the workshop and the building site.
Every project is different, so we keep our process simple, clear and flexible. We work in the way that suits your project, your drawings and your timescale. Generally speaking, most steel fabrication projects follow these steps:
A good steelwork project starts with a proper look at the job.
Our site survey helps us understand what you need, where the steelwork will be installed and how the project will be delivered. This is especially useful for builders, developers and contractors working on extensions, structural alterations, commercial buildings, agricultural buildings or industrial units.
During the survey, we look at the practical details that affect fabrication and installation. Access, measurements, existing structures, lifting requirements and site conditions all matter. A steel beam may look straightforward on a drawing, but the site often tells the real story.
By carrying out a site survey early, we can help identify potential issues before manufacture begins. That reduces delays, avoids unnecessary changes and gives everyone a clearer plan.
Our team can advise on the most practical route for your project, including steel sizes, fabrication requirements, delivery access, installation methods and any special considerations.
Once the project requirements are clear, the next stage is creating accurate fabrication drawings.
Fabrication drawings are essential because they show exactly how the steelwork needs to be made. They include the key details needed by the workshop, including dimensions, holes, plates, welds, connections and finishes.
For builders and developers, good drawings make the job easier to manage. They help remove guesswork and give the fabrication team the information they need to manufacture the steelwork correctly.
For architects and engineers, fabrication drawings help turn the design intent into practical steelwork that can be manufactured, delivered and installed on site.
This stage is where small details make a big difference. Connection points, fixing details and measurements all need to be accurate. If they’re not, delays can happen later. That’s why we take care to prepare drawings that support both the fabrication process and the site installation.
Harris Manufacturing Ltd manufactures structural steelwork and fabricated steel products for a wide range of sectors, including commercial, industrial, agricultural, builders and property developers.
Our manufacturing service covers everything from individual steel beams and columns to larger steelwork packages. We work with a range of steel profiles and fabrication methods to support different project types, including building frames, support steel, brackets, plates, channels, angles and bespoke fabricated items.
We understand that every project has its own pressures. A builder may need steelwork quickly to keep an extension moving. A developer may need repeatable quality across several plots. A commercial contractor may need steelwork manufactured to match strict project requirements.
That’s why our approach is practical. We focus on producing steelwork that is accurate, strong and ready for site.

We also offer the following in-house and outsourced services and capabilities as required:
We provide welding and steel fabrication services for structural and general steelwork projects. This includes beams, columns, frames, brackets, plates and bespoke steel components.
We can support on-site alterations and installation where required. This is useful for projects where steelwork needs adjusting, fitting or installing as part of a wider construction programme.
Our brake press capability allows steel to be bent and formed to suit specific project requirements. This is often used for folded plates, brackets, flashings and bespoke steel components.
Guillotining allows sheet metal and plate to be cut cleanly and accurately. This is useful for preparing steel components before further fabrication.
Punching is used to create holes and shapes in steel components. It provides a clean and efficient method for preparing steelwork for fixing, bolting and assembly.
Drilling is a key part of structural steel fabrication. Accurate holes are essential for connections, fixing points and installation.
Sawing allows steel sections to be cut to the required lengths before fabrication. Accurate cutting helps ensure the finished steelwork fits correctly on site.
Rolling is used where steel needs to be curved or formed. This can support specialist fabrication work, architectural steelwork and bespoke project requirements.
Turning supports the manufacture of round or machined steel components. This is useful for projects that need precision parts as part of a larger fabrication.
Milling allows material to be removed accurately from a steel component. It supports more detailed fabrication and machining requirements.
Laser cutting provides a precise method for cutting steel components, plates and profiles. It is useful for detailed shapes, repeatable parts and clean finishes.
Primer painting helps protect steelwork before installation or final finishing. It is commonly used on structural steelwork and fabricated components.
Powder coating provides a durable and attractive finish for steelwork and metal components. It is often used where appearance and protection are both important.
Galvanizing helps protect steelwork from corrosion, especially where the steel will be exposed to weather or harsher environments.
Once your steelwork has been manufactured, we can support delivery and collection depending on your project needs.
We offer HIAB-assisted delivery on request, which is useful when steelwork needs lifting or positioning safely on site. This can help builders, contractors and developers manage delivery more easily, especially where heavier steel sections are involved.
Alternatively, you can arrange collection directly from us. Our team will be happy to help and make the process as straightforward as possible.
Whether you need steel delivered to a construction site, commercial premises, agricultural project or residential development, we’ll work with you to arrange the most practical option.
