Finding a steel fabricator to take care of a supply order in London has never been easier. However, getting hold of a superior steel beam supplier that’s head and shoulders above its rivals is another story altogether – one that’s altogether trickier to get right.
Based in Isleworth, Polsteel has become one of the region’s most trusted and respected steel suppliers for a multitude of reasons. Frequently asked what it is that separates those at the top of the industry from those of a lower-calibre, the team behind the brand always speaks of a few key traits that add up to the highest quality products and services.
So for the benefit of anyone yet to make a decision as to which steel fabricator to choose in London, here’s a quick overview of the most important things to be on the lookout for:
Locality
First up, if you’re looking to place an order for structural steel beams for a London-based project, then it of course makes sense to choose a London-based supplier. The reason being one of simple logistics as the closer you are to the supplier of your choice, the faster you can get your hands on what it is you need. Not only this, but it’s always nice to know that if and when you need to pay a visit to the office in person, you won’t have to travel half way across the country to do so.
Useful Online Resources
Take a good look at the website used to represent the supplier and take note of how useful it is as a resource on the whole. There’s a huge difference between a website that serves as a glorified steel beam vending machine and another that’s a clearly useful and comprehensive resource on the subject of structural steel as a whole. Polsteel.co.uk is a solid example of the latter with the team behind the brand having clearly gone to extreme efforts to make the site a one-stop resource for all there is to know not only about the company, but also about the subject of steel in its entirety.
Experience
Experience counts for a great deal in any industry where the products being made play a vital role not only in the projects of others, but also in the health and safety of innumerable others. That’s not to say that inexperienced steel producers are throwing out unsafe products, but at the same time there’s nothing that speaks volumes for a business better than an established history and a proven track record of excellence.
Portfolio of Work
Speaking of track records, something else to be on the lookout for is the brand’s portfolio of work. As far as the website itself goes, this should at the very least mean immediate access to an extensive gallery of photographs and images depicting the actual work of the brand – never stock photographs. However, it can also be of benefit to ask for much more detailed examples of what’s been achieved, when and for whom, which could be produced in the form of case studies or simply a richer portfolio of work.
Future Outlook
A good supplier of structural steel products is a brand that has its eye on the future and has no intention of staying put for too long. As such, would-be buyers are advised to look over the websites of prospective steel suppliers to look for signs of their passion to expand, develop and generally better themselves in the future. From blog posts to company news and right through to any social media presences they operate, it’s an industry that’s constantly on the move and so too therefore should be the brand.
Feedback from Buyers
Last but not least, any steel supplier can boast its greatness until blue in the face, but it’s a different story altogether when it comes to the feedback of real-life customers. With no specific obligation or loyalty to the brand you’re looking into, there’s nothing for a buyer to gain by telling anything other than the exact truth about their experiences and the products purchased. The feedback and testimonials any steel supplier shares…or doesn’t at the case may be…should be seen as make or break factors that contribute to the overall decision being made. And if you’re not in any way happy with the amount of feedback being shared or have any doubts as to its legitimacy, you can always ask to be put in touch with the references of your choosing to verify them.
