The S-FABS Service – Reaching Communities Across Southern England

Family businesses often carry a certain set of expectations and characteristics – most notably, a strong local presence and a deep commitment to the community they call home. And at S-FABS, that’s absolutely true. Our business was built on helping those around us; it drives everything we do today. But despite the expertise of our founding family – the Males – dating back to 1904, many may be surprised to learn that our work extends far beyond Selsey, reaching the breadth of southern England.
 
With an array of precise steelwork skills, we’ve always endeavoured to make every project as stress-free as possible, and this attention to detail has seen our operation scale up significantly with time.
 
From small fixer-uppers and restorations of public spaces to large-scale luxury properties worth millions, we see it all. Some of our projects go on to win awards while some remain completely unknown beyond those they directly impact. Our work is hugely varied, but we wouldn’t have it any other way – it only drives us to learn more.
 
We’re here to help, whether it’s on the doorstep or two hours down the motorway.

Here’s a snapshot of some clients and sites that we’ve be fortunate enough to work with recently:
 

• Southampton Airport
• Tower of London
• Private houses in Wentworth Estate and St. George’s Estate, Surrey
• Private house in Roedean Crescent, Brighton
• Newhaven Health Hub
• St. Ivo Academy (Sixth Form College), Cambridgeshire
• Private property on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent
• Goodwood Estate
• Former Debenhams sites in Southsea, Winchester and Worthing
• University of Southampton

For us, specialising in a core construction trade has opened doors into a wide range of industries. Our tried and tested processes work in any context, but crucially, we’re also flexible and happy to tailor our work to ensure we deliver it as seamlessly as possible for every client – no matter what they do.
 
Similarly, the scope of expertise we offer has expanded with time. While we are best known for steel fabrication, the services we offer within this field are in fact far more extensive than they first appear and can be negotiated to best meet a client’s vision.
 
We are proud to offer expert services in the following:
 

• Structural steelwork: Installation of bespoke steel structures to support a construction project – including design, detailing, fabrication and erection
• Architectural metalwork: Bespoke metal structures and components for property interiors and exteriors using mild steel, stainless steel, glass and aluminium
• Feature staircases: Design and creation of unique staircases that truly stand out
• Glass balustrades: Frameless and framed glass panels for windows, balconies and more
• Portal frames: Creation of bespoke portal frames to help large-scale construction projects take off – whether it’s for commercial, retail, industrial or agricultural properties
• Stainless steel: Creation of one-off and batch stainless-steel equipment to enhance a construction (such as outdoor railings/balustrades)
• Builders beams and general steel sales: Daily delivery service to supply steel in a range of finishes, including cutting, drilling, shot-blasting, priming, powder-coating and galvanising
• In-house installation team: A dedicated, highly skilled team ready to make every project happen – no matter where the client is based
• In-house drawing office: Creation of detailed 3D drawings, models and manipulatable 3D PDF files to bring project plans to life

We also offer full project management for every service with a dedicated account manager assigned to clients from the get-go. From in-house drawings and budgeting to the final installation and maintenance phase, every client knows where they stand with us and has a direct point of contact throughout. 

We’re proud to be a trusted partner to many with a growing range of skills.

Wherever you are and whatever you do, please don’t hesitate to contact our team – we’d love to see how we can help you.
