what's the weight per metre of the beam?

Shytalkz · 25 Oct 2008

Sounds like a 203x103UB23.

Assuming it's just a straight without lots of fabbing of connections etc, then rough price delivered 23x3.5x1200/1000, haven't got a calculator, so whatever that comes out as. Should leave you some in hand if you get the job.

Edit back home now, comes out as £96.60 net.

that sounds cheap!, was expecting somthing in the region of £250/£300,
just got a price for a 3m heavy duty cavity steel lintel at £120!
are u sure £97 for a 3.5m length?, if it is then happy with that

Shytalkz · 25 Oct 2008

I'm not surprised a HD lintel comes out more expensive.

If it's a 23kg/m UB section, then it's in the right area. Channels and box sections are much more expensive per tonne.

just out of curiosity, would a 203mm deep x 103mm wide for a 3000mm opening be sufficient, it will be holding up; internally thermalite blocks; externally brickwork with a 1770mm x 1200mm window in the middle, above that a lintel & wallplate at the top (do you get me!), if not whats the next size/thickness they doo

£97.00 is a little off the mark.

you will need two pieces of steel, one for each leaf of masonry.

i paid £141.00 recently for 3.5m of 178mm x 102mm.

i would expect the total steel cost, for each leaf of masonry plus fabrication (holes in the steel) plus spacers and threaded bar and bolts, including paint, to be in excess of £400.00

You need to change suppliers, Nose

bigdeano · 27 Oct 2008

just got a reply off 1 of them, £320 all in for the pair with spacer bolts etc, were's the £97 ones on offer!!

Shytalkz · 27 Oct 2008

It's more, cos my guesstimate was for a single straight beam per your OP, not one with the web pre-drilled, plus pipe spacers and bolts. And I assumed it was a 23kg/m beam, as the size you gave does not match stock sections.

You're getting stiffed on fabbing costs. I can get 2x203x102UB23s 3.5m long with gas pipe spacers and M16 bolts at 600 centres (say 5 off) two coats zinc-rich primer finish for £270 plus vat, not as a special deal either.
