Steel Beams & Channels
No residential building job is the same. That’s why it’s important that the team from Black Steel come to your job to ensure all beams and channels are accurately cut to length, and safely installed.
Our mobile structural steel fabrication workshops ensure a precision job every time. For larger and more complex projects, we utilise our engineering workshop, deliver to site and install, if required.
We supply, cut and install Universal Beams (UBs) and Parallel and Tapered Flanged Channels (PFCs and TFCs).
