Universal Beams, commonly referred to as UBs, are among the most versatile structural steel sections available. Recognised by their distinctive H-shaped profile, they are designed to provide exceptional strength while supporting substantial loads across long spans.
Whether you’re creating a structural opening, constructing a steel frame or installing floor supports, choosing the correct Universal Beam is essential to the safety, stability and longevity of the finished structure.
Process Steels supplies Universal Beams throughout Birmingham, Walsall and the wider Midlands, working from structural engineer drawings, fabrication schedules and project specifications to ensure every order is supplied accurately.
Universal Beams are manufactured with parallel flanges and a deep web, giving them an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and making them suitable for a wide range of structural applications. Their design allows them to resist bending under load while providing reliable support across longer spans.
Although many people still use the term RSJ, Universal Beams are the modern structural section most commonly specified by engineers for new construction projects.
Universal Beams are regularly used for:
-Structural openings
-House extensions
– Loft conversions
– Floor support systems
– Steel-framed buildings
– Commercial developments
– Industrial units
– Warehouse construction
– Mezzanine floors
Because Universal Beams are available in a wide range of sizes, they can be specified for both smaller residential alterations and large commercial structures.
Universal Beams are produced in a comprehensive range of standard sizes and weights to suit different structural requirements. Each beam is identified by its depth, flange width and weight per metre, enabling structural engineers to specify the correct section for the required span and loading conditions.
Rather than selecting a beam based purely on size, engineers consider factors such as:
-Span length
-Structural loads
-Support locations
-Building design
-Structural calculations
If your engineer has already specified a Universal Beam, Process Steels can supply the correct section and prepare it for installation.
Our in-house fabrication service allows Universal Beams to arrive on site ready for installation, helping to reduce site work and improve project efficiency.
Fabrication options include:
-Drilling
-End plates
-Base plates
-Connection plates
-Welded components
-Bespoke modifications
Where required, CAD support is also available to ensure fabricated beams align with approved structural drawings before production begins.
At Process Steels, we aim to make ordering Universal Beams as straightforward as possible. Whether you require a single beam for a residential project or a larger order for a commercial development, our team works with you from the initial enquiry through to collection or delivery.
Start by contacting our team with your structural engineer’s drawings, beam schedule or project specifications. Providing accurate information at the outset allows us to prepare a clear quotation and identify any fabrication requirements.
Once we’ve reviewed your requirements, we’ll provide a quotation based on the beam sizes, quantities and any fabrication work required. If you have any questions, our team is on hand to discuss your project and ensure you have everything you need before placing your order.
Where fabrication is required, your Universal Beams are prepared in-house to the agreed specification. Keeping fabrication under one roof helps maintain quality, improves communication and ensures your order is ready for installation.

Whether utilised for its durable strength or for aesthetic effect, steel is a respected material used world-wide for an array of famous structures. As the largest steel stockholders in the Midlands, we would like to pay homage to, in our opinion, three of the most impressive steel structures to date.
Just a note to say thank you for helping me on my home extension.Assisting with the drawings and a quick fabrication and delivery was very helpful and much appreciated.
Heartfelt thanks to everyone at Process Steels and Chris in particular. They didn’t just provide us with five RSJ’s, they went way beyond that in understanding our needs, supporting us and making sure that the solution would be as adaptable as possible on site. From the very first phone call, their customer service has been exemplary, lead time fast and also fantastic value for money. We are very grateful. All best wishes.
The steelwork was installed with no problems whatsoever except for the appalling weather before Xmas. I attach a couple of photographs of the job installed.The pilings and your steelwork were very accurate, so we only needed to use a couple of packers on one post. Documentation was easy to follow and it came with all fasteners supplied (no omissions!) and even your subcontract driver was very helpful with the delivery as access is quite tight.
Your service is highly recommended.
