Our teams are fully trained in all major SFS systems including Ash and lacy, Kingspan, Hadley Group, Metsec, Knauf, delivering precise and compliant installations on every project.
We specify and install only approved, CE-marked light gauge steel sections sourced from accredited UK manufacturers, guaranteeing long-term structural performance.

We work in full BIM environments, coordinating SFS layouts with structural, MEP and facade trades to eliminate clashes and reduce on-site RFIs.
IN DEPTH
Steel Framing Systems have become the preferred method for forming external wall infill, oversail and curtain wall subframes on modern commercial and residential buildings across the UK. Choosing a specialist SFS contractor like SFDC ensures your light gauge steel framing is installed to exact tolerances, fully compliant with BS EN 1993 Eurocode 3, and coordinated with downstream facade, cladding and glazing trades from the outset. Our SFS fitters work nationwide, from London and the South East to the Midlands, North West and Scotland, delivering consistent quality on every project.
By engaging a single subcontractor for both the SFS structural substrate and the external facade system, clients eliminate the contractual and programme interface risks that so often cause delays and defects on complex envelope projects. SFDC's integrated approach means our SFS, facade, fire stopping and drylining teams work together from design stage through to handover, ensuring fixings, brackets, cavity barriers and tolerances are fully coordinated. The result is a weathertight, compliant and technically robust building envelope delivered on time and on budget.
WE ENSURE QUALITY
Our on-site supervision and project management services ensure meticulous quality control and adherence to programme throughout every stage of your SFS installation. Our experienced foremen oversee every aspect from initial setting out to final inspection, guaranteeing precision in every detail.
All SFDC SFS installations are carried out in full compliance with BS EN 1993 Eurocode 3 and manufacturer installation guidelines. Our teams hold the necessary CSCS, SSSTS and SMSTS qualifications, and we maintain full RAMS and method statement documentation for every project.
