Core Service

Specialist Self-Storage Steel Structures

The UK self-storage market is evolving rapidly, demanding faster build times, rigorous standardisation, and highly efficient use of space. At STONNA Steel Structures, we position ourselves as the definitive specialist in this niche. We understand the specific layouts, grid systems, and load-bearing requirements that major operators demand.

Whether you are developing a 30,000 sq ft urban facility or a 100,000+ sq ft multi-story storage centre, we manage the entire steel package. Because we partner with a vetted network of UK fabricators rather than relying on a single in-house facility, we offer unparalleled capacity and agility.

  • Multi-tier mezzanine floors and structural framing
  • Integrated stair cores and lift shaft structures
  • Structural strengthening for existing building conversions
  • Complete design coordination and value engineering before tender
  • Seamless on-site installation managed by our expert teams
Space Maximisation

Industrial & Commercial Mezzanine Floors

E-commerce logistics, manufacturing, and commercial warehousing require intelligent space utilisation. STONNA delivers heavy-duty, structural steel mezzanine floors designed to seamlessly integrate into your existing or new-build facilities.

We don’t just supply steel; we provide a fully coordinated service. Working closely with structural engineers and principal contractors, we ensure that every mezzanine structure is optimised for weight, cost, and buildability.

  • Bespoke structural design and load-bearing calculations
  • Fire protection and staircase integration planning
  • Fast-track procurement through our agile fabricator network
  • Safe, disruption-minimised installation in live or shell environments

Adaptive Reuse

Structural Alterations & Warehouse Conversions

Repurposing existing buildings for modern logistics or self-storage often requires complex structural alterations. STONNA specialises in the highly technical steelwork packages necessary to upgrade, strengthen, or extend existing commercial frames.

These projects carry unique risks and require proactive problem-solving. Our Director-led project management team works hands-on with architects and engineers to interrogate existing structures, designing practical, safe methods for installing new steelwork within constrained environments.

  • Strengthening of existing steel frames and foundations
  • Removal of load-bearing elements and installation of transfer beams
  • Extension of existing warehouse footprints or roof raising
  • Complex lifting plans and temporary works coordination
Early-Stage Intelligence

Structural Design Coordination & Value Engineering

The most expensive mistakes in steel construction happen before the steel is even ordered. At STONNA, our biggest value-add is our early-stage design intelligence. We invite architects, engineers, and developers to engage with us long before the final tender is issued.

We conduct rigorous design rationalisation exercises. By interrogating the drawings early, we identify opportunities to reduce steel tonnage, simplify connections, and improve overall buildability.

  • Pre-tender budget forecasting and tonnage estimations
  • Buildability reviews and value engineering
  • Coordination between architectural, structural, and fabrication drawings
  • Integration of secondary steelwork and architectural details
