Steel Fabrication Services Across Kent

Providing safe vertical access is a critical part of our work across the county. We fabricate steel staircases for a variety of applications, from internal industrial stairs in Dover’s port facilities to elegant, modern staircases for Sevenoaks office refurbishments. Perhaps more importantly, we are a leading provider of compliant steel fire escapes.

Given the high density of multi-occupancy buildings and converted oast houses across Kent, ensuring safe egress in the event of a fire is a top priority for property owners. Our fire escapes are built to withstand the elements and meet all current building regulations, providing a permanent safety solution for any Kent property.

While our workshop in Maidstone is where the bulk of the fabrication happens, we know that Kent’s construction sites are dynamic environments that often require on-the-spot solutions. Our mobile welding units are a common sight across the county, providing high-quality on-site welding for repairs, modifications, and installations.

If a structural beam needs a last-minute adjustment or a piece of heavy plant machinery breaks down on a site in Sittingbourne, our mobile welders can be there to fix the issue. We bring professional-grade equipment and reliable welding expertise directly to you, ensuring that site work never grinds to a halt due to metalwork failures.

Kent is famous for its beautiful estates, historic homes, and secure commercial premises, many of which are protected by substantial metalwork. Over time, salt air on the coast or general wear and tear in urban areas can cause gates and railings to degrade. Petron Welding Ltd specialises in the professional repair and restoration of existing gates and railings.

It is important to note that we do not supply pre-made gates from other manufacturers, though we are happy to design and build a bespoke security solution for our Kent customers. Our expertise lies in saving your existing metalwork. We weld broken hinges, replace corroded bars, and reinforce weakened posts, helping Kent residents and business owners maintain their security and kerb appeal without the cost of a full replacement.

In Kent’s many industrial units and water treatment works, safe access to machinery and elevated areas is paramount. We fabricate custom steel platforms, gantry walkways, and cat-ladders designed for permanent industrial use. These systems are engineered to handle specific load requirements and are often finished with galvanised coatings to protect against Kent’s varied weather conditions. Whether it is a simple maintenance platform for a boiler room or a complex network of walkways for a manufacturing plant in Gillingham, we ensure every access system is ergonomically designed and safely installed.

For the thousands of home extensions and renovations taking place across Kent every year, we provide a streamlined service for the supply and installation of builder's beams and RSJs (Rolled Steel Joists). We understand that for a local builder in Tonbridge or a DIYer in Gravesend, getting the steel on-site exactly when the masonry is ready is crucial.

We offer a fast turnaround on standard sections, cut to length and drilled as per your requirements. Beyond simple supply, our installation team can also assist with the precision placement of these heavy sections, using specialised lifting equipment to ensure they are seated correctly and safely within your building’s structure.

Security is a major concern for both rural and urban properties across the county. We fabricate a range of security steelwork designed to harden Kent’s homes and businesses against intrusion. This includes heavy-duty window grilles, security cages for external plant machinery, and bespoke bollards or barriers for commercial forecourts. Our security solutions are built to be imposing and incredibly difficult to bypass, providing a physical deterrent that protects your assets and gives you peace of mind.

Our portfolio is a map of Kent itself. We have provided structural steel for new school buildings in Maidstone, fabricated bespoke architectural features for coastal retreats in Whitstable, and performed emergency welding repairs on agricultural equipment in the heart of the Kentish Weald. This broad experience means we have likely worked on a project similar to yours somewhere in the county. We understand the varied ground conditions, architectural styles, and local expectations that define Kent’s construction landscape, allowing us to provide advice that is grounded in local reality.
