AJC & Son Builders provide structural steelwork in Liverpool, Merseyside and the surrounding areas including Prescot, Huyton, Crosby, Formby and Southport. Whether you need an RSJ for an open-plan kitchen, structural support for an extension, lintels above new openings, or bespoke steel fabrication for a renovation, we deliver compliant, accurately fitted steelwork that’s safe, certified and built to last. We work closely with structural engineers to ensure every beam meets the calculations — no shortcuts, no compromises.
Structural steelwork is the silent hero of modern home renovation, providing the essential strength required to create the open, airy spaces that define contemporary living. Whether you are removing a load-bearing wall to create an open-plan kitchen or installing the framework for a large-scale extension, the precision of your steel installation is paramount to the safety and stability of your entire property. We specialise in the supply and expert installation of structural steels, including universal beams (RSJs), columns, and complex goalpost frames. We work in strict accordance with structural engineers’ calculations, ensuring that every bolt is torqued correctly and every bearing is secure, providing a rock-solid foundation for the rest of your build.
The transition from a compartmentalised house to an open-plan home requires more than just heavy lifting; it requires a deep understanding of load distribution and temporary propping. Our team handles the entire technical process, from the initial “needling” and support of your existing masonry to the final fire-protecting encasement of the new steelwork. We take great care to ensure that all steel is perfectly level and recessed where possible to allow for seamless ceiling finishes and a clean architectural look. By managing the heavy-duty logistics and precision placement of structural members, we enable you to transform the layout of your home with total confidence in its permanent structural integrity.

Working with structural engineers
We work directly with structural engineers to translate calculations into safe, accurate installations. Every beam we fit is sized correctly for the load, properly bedded on padstones or spreader plates, and bolted or welded as the design requires. We can also recommend trusted structural engineers if you need calculations for your project.
