Steel Framing Systems (SFS)
SFS is a high-performance, lightweight cold-rolled steel framing solution designed for rapid and versatile construction. Providing exceptional structural integrity and load-bearing capacity, it offers a more accurate alternative to traditional blockwork, particularly for multi-storey and large-scale projects.
Â
At North Base Contracts Ltd, we specialise in the installation of SFS for commercial, residential, and industrial developments throughout Newcastle, Gateshead, and surrounding areas.

Structural Performance & Compliance
Installation Process
Our precision-led installation begins with detailed setting out and laser alignment. Metsec and Hadleys components are assembled on-site with high-torque fixings, ensuring rapid yet robust structural assembly.
Structural Integrity
Designed for high-performance load-bearing capabilities, SFS provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratios. We utilise galvanised cold-rolled steel to eliminate shrinkage and maintain long-term structural precision.
Compliance & Safety
All systems meet rigorous UK building regulations. We integrate Glassroc fire protection and Kingspan insulation to deliver full fire rating compliance and superior thermal performance for commercial safety.
