Dublin runs on extensions, attic conversions and infill sites, and almost every one of them comes down to a length of steel arriving on the right day at the right size. Leinster Steel is a family-run stockholder at Treen Hill, Lusk, holding structural sections on the racks and cutting them to order for jobs right across the city and county β from Balbriggan down to Tallaght and out to Lucan.
A stockholder, not a builders' merchant
It is worth knowing the difference, because it changes what you pay and how long you wait. A builders' merchant usually orders your beam in from somewhere else and adds a margin for handling it. A stockholder buys by the tonne, keeps the sections physically in the yard and cuts them on site. That means you are quoted against the real weight of the steel you need, not a marked-up guess, and a standard section is normally cut the same day rather than in ten days' time.
It also means you can ring and ask a straight question β "have you a 203x133x25 in stock?" β and get a straight answer from the person standing beside the racks.
What we hold for Dublin jobs
- Universal beams (UB) and universal columns (UC) β the RSJs behind wall removals, extensions and attic conversions
- PFC channel and equal & unequal angle β lintels, edge trims, frames and brackets
- SHS and RHS box section and CHS tube β goalposts, gates, railings, posts and canopies
- Flat bar and round bar β plates, straps, pins and general fabrication
Everything is cut to length free of charge and supplied with mill test certificates for S275 or S355, so your engineer and building control have the traceability they need. If you are not sure which grade a drawing is calling for, the S275 vs S355 guide explains it in plain terms, and the RSJ sizing guide covers what usually gets specified for a domestic opening.
Collection in Lusk or delivery across Dublin
The yard is off the M1 at Lusk, about twenty-five minutes from the M50, so collection is straightforward if you have a van or a trailer. Otherwise we deliver on our own trucks throughout Dublin city and county. For city centre and terraced sites, tell us the offload point and any access limits when you order β narrow lanes and low arches are much easier to plan for in advance than to discover on the morning.
North Dublin customers can also read the local pages for Swords, Balbriggan, Skerries, Malahide and Rush.
What to have ready when you order
Three things make a quote fast and accurate: the section size (for example 152x89x16 UB), the finished length you want, and whether you need it plain black or sandblasted and primed. If you have the engineer's drawing, send that instead and we will read the sizes off it. For a rough figure before you ring anyone, the price calculator gives a weight-based price on the spot, and there is a guide to steel beam prices in Ireland if you want to understand how the numbers are put together.
Common questions from Dublin customers
Do you deliver into Dublin city centre?
Yes, across the whole county including city centre sites. Flag any width or height restrictions when you order so we send a suitable vehicle.
Can homeowners buy, or is it trade only?
Anyone can buy β no trade account and no company name needed. A single beam for a homeowner is priced exactly the same way as a fabricator's order.
Will you cut to my exact lengths?
Yes, free of charge. Send a cut list or a drawing and it is cut before it leaves the yard.
Do you supply mill certificates?
Yes, S275 or S355 mill test certs come with every order as standard.
How quickly can I get steel?
Stock sections are usually cut the same day. Ring the yard and we will tell you what is on the racks.
