About Us

Darke Steel began by working in water related industries but now carries out heavier steel fabrication work including intricate structural steelwork packages, bridge works, structural enhancement and all aspects of secondary steelwork. Darke Steel can provide a complete structural design service including calculations, material traceability, weld procedures and coded operatives to execute the works to the highest standards.

In 1995 after completion of the Ashford International Eurostar terminal, the directors, encouraged by their clients, recognised an opportunity in the market for architectural metalwork. A new 5000 sq ft ‘clean shop’ was built against the existing factory and the business expanded to include the increase in demand for contemporary metalwork. The company has always enjoyed pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with exciting Architects such as Wilkinson Eyre, Lifschultz Davidson and Norman Foster.
