RASE STEELS CONSTRUCTION AND CIVILS LIMITED

What RASE STEELS CONSTRUCTION AND CIVILS LIMITED does

Rase Steels Construction & Civils Limited is a family-owned UK private limited company founded in 1986 by Rowley Boulton in Market Rasen, Lincolnshire. The firm operates from a single headquarters at Gallamore Lane Industrial Estate and delivers end-to-end steel frame building solutions across Lincolnshire and the wider UK, serving agricultural, industrial, commercial, and residential/self-build customers. Projects range in value from £2,000 for small repairs to £2 million for major developments, with the company acting as a single accountable contractor from concept and planning through structural design, fabrication, civils and groundworks, full building erection, and in-house door installation.

The company's offering is structured around three operating pillars. The Construction division covers agricultural buildings, industrial buildings, civils and groundworks, refurbishment and repairs, asbestos and remedial works, and commercial structural steelwork, all backed by UKCA marked and CE certified in-house steel fabrication with CAD-led design. Two wholly-owned sub-brands extend the surface area: Rase Industrial Doors supplies and installs roller shutters, fire-rated doors, sectional overhead doors, and personnel doors, while Rase Design provides architectural and planning consultancy. A Merchanting counter supplies structural steel, sheets, flashings, insulated panels, fixings, purlins, and rainwater products directly to trade and farm customers. Certifications include UKCA, CE, ISO 9001, ISO 27001, DHF, SSIP, and ISN.

The business is privately held by the founding Boulton family, with Rowley Boulton as founder and sons Matthew and James Boulton as directors; Chris Jackson joined in 2021 and progressed to Operations Director. The go-to-market is sales-led, driven by phone, email, website contact forms, and free quote consultations, supported by a project portfolio website and an Instagram presence (@rasesteelsltd). A flagship commercial partnership with Lincoln City FC was announced in June 2026. Reported certifications and named enterprise projects (Tesla Teal Park, Travis Perkins Lincolnshire) coexist with a predominantly Lincolnshire agricultural and trade customer base, indicating a regional specialist positioning.
