Steel Frame Extensions and Commercial Refurbishment in South East England and across the UK

Bringing Buildings Back to Life with Industrial Refurbishment
At Carnegie Steel Buildings, we treat every commercial extension or refurbishment with the same technical expertise as our new constructions. Steel frames are incredibly durable and often outlast exterior elements such as cladding and roofing, which can deteriorate over time.

That’s why we can repair cladding, extend existing frameworks to create larger facilities, seamlessly match the current design or update the entire exterior for a unified look. Whether your project involves minor repairs or complete reconfigurations to meet modern standards, we provide tailored solutions with unmatched professionalism.

Our highly experienced steel building consultants oversee every stage, from ensuring compliance to the finishing details. With a focus on efficiency and cost-effectiveness, we deliver industrial extensions and refurbishments that meet the highest quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of refurbishing industrial steel buildings?

Refurbishing industrial steel buildings helps extend their lifespan, improve functionality, and ensure compliance with modern safety and energy regulations. It allows you to upgrade outdated cladding, roofing, or structural components without the cost of a complete rebuild. Refurbishments are more sustainable than constructing new buildings, as they minimise environmental impact by requiring fewer materials and reducing transportation needs. Additionally, refurbishment enhances the building’s appearance and can optimise space for new uses.

Can an industrial extension be seamlessly integrated into my existing structure?

Yes, at Carnegie Steel Building, we specialise in integrating extensions into existing structures. We ensure that new additions are structurally sound and match the original building’s aesthetic. Our team can also reclad your building to create a uniform appearance if desired, providing a professional and cohesive finish.

What is the process for refurbishing a steel building?

The process typically involves inspecting the existing structure, identifying areas for repair or replacement, and designing a refurbishment plan. This might include replacing windows and doors, cladding, upgrading roofing, and installing new insulation or fittings. We also offer remodelling services, including upgrading internal layouts. Carnegie Steel Building’s experienced consultants oversee every stage to ensure quality, compliance, and efficiency.

Can you extend an existing steel frame building?

Absolutely. Our team can extend your steel frame to create additional space for various purposes, such as storage, manufacturing, or office facilities. We also offer custom cladding options to tie the new extension seamlessly with the existing structure or update the entire building’s façade.

How do you ensure safety and compliance in industrial refurbishments?

At Carnegie Steel Building, we prioritise safety and compliance by adhering to all relevant building regulations. Our experienced consultants work to ensure your refurbished or extended structure meets current standards, including fire safety, energy efficiency, and load-bearing requirements.

What is the difference between industrial refurbishment and steel extensions?

Refurbishment focuses on improving and updating an existing structure, such as replacing old cladding, repairing structural damage, or enhancing insulation. Steel extensions, on the other hand, involve expanding the footprint of a building to create additional space. At Carnegie Steel Building, we can handle both processes individually or as part of a combined project.
