The Process of RSJ Installation
When you work with Steel Beam Installations, you benefit from a smooth, professional process from start to finish. Here’s how we manage RSJ installation:

1. Initial Consultation and Site Visit
The first step is to assess your project requirements. Once you contact us, we’ll arrange a free consultation and site visit to evaluate the structural work needed. This visit allows us to gather key information about your property and understand the scale of the project. Whether you’re planning a small renovation or a large extension, we’ll provide a rough speculative quote to give you an idea of costs at this stage.

2. Structural Calculations and Engineering Plans
Once we’ve agreed on the scope of work, the next step is to arrange for a structural engineer to create detailed structural calculations and plans for the RSJ installation. These calculations are essential to ensure that the correct size and type of RSJ is used to support the load of the building. We handle all of this on your behalf, working closely with certified engineers to ensure compliance with building regulations.
3. Accurate Quotation
Once the structural plans and calculations are complete, we’ll provide you with an accurate, detailed quote based on the specifications of the job. Our transparent pricing means you know exactly what to expect, with no hidden costs.
4. Preparation and Planning
Before installation begins, we make all the necessary preparations. This includes sourcing the correct RSJ beams, scheduling the installation at a time that works for you, and coordinating any additional trades or equipment needed. Our team will also handle all health and safety requirements, ensuring the site is safe for both our workers and the occupants of the property.
5. RSJ Installation
On the day of the installation, our experienced team will carefully fit the RSJ according to the structural engineer’s plans. Installing an RSJ is a precise and delicate process, often involving the temporary support of walls and floors to safely position the steel beam. Our team is highly trained to ensure that the RSJ is installed accurately and securely, providing the necessary support for your structure.
We use specialist equipment to safely manoeuvre the RSJ into place and work with load-bearing walls to guarantee a stable and compliant installation. Whether the project involves creating an opening for bi-fold doors, knocking through a load-bearing wall, or supporting a larger extension, we’ll ensure everything is completed to the highest standards.
6. Building Regulations Compliance
We use an independent building control officer who comes round to check the installation is correctly installed.
7. Final Checks and Sign-off
Once the RSJ is installed, we carry out final safety checks to ensure the structural integrity of the installation. We won’t consider the job complete until we’re satisfied that everything meets building regulations and your expectations. After the installation is approved, the work area is cleaned up and left tidy.
8. Finishing and Cleaning
Once the installation is complete and signed off as fully safe and compliant, we complete all the interior finishing work. All the correct fire-protected plasterboards and plasterwork are completed. Then we clear up fully, ensuring the area is left clean and tidy.
9. Completion and Guarantee
At Steel Beam Installations, all of our work is fully insured and comes with a guarantee, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing that the job has been done to the highest standards. We aim to ensure every client is 100% happy with the final result.
