Steel Portal Frames for Slough projects
Slough Trading Estate is one of the largest in Europe and its stock is constantly being replaced and re-provisioned, which is portal-frame work: clear-span warehouse and industrial units where the whole point is uninterrupted floor with no internal columns and eaves high enough for racking. We fabricate the primary frame, the columns and rafters with their bolted haunch connections, plus the bracing, eaves beams, purlins and side rails that come with it.
On an estate this busy the frame has to go up fast and fit first time, and that is decided at the haunch connections long before anyone lifts. We fabricate to your engineer's design under audited factory production control, then deliver from our Denham works along the M4 and A4 and erect to a documented method statement and lift plan, so one team is accountable from approved drawings to a standing frame.

Steel Portal Frames in Slough: common questions
- Can you fabricate a portal frame for a unit on Slough Trading Estate?
- Yes. We fabricate clear-span steel portal frames for warehouse, logistics and industrial units across Slough to BS EN 1090-1, Execution Class 2 (EXC2), including the columns, rafters, haunches, bracing and secondary steel, and we can erect the frame too. Send your engineer's drawings for a free quote.
- What spans can you fabricate for a Slough warehouse?
- Single-span and multi-span frames are both standard work. The span, eaves height and loading are set by your structural engineer's design and we fabricate the columns, rafters and bracing to match it, so we do not assume fixed values.
- Do you erect the portal frame as well as fabricate it in Slough?
- Yes. Fabrication and erection under one team keeps the frame on one programme with one point of accountability. Our crews work to a documented method statement and lift plan, and Slough is a short run from our Denham works via the M4.
