welcome to number 17 construction
Number 17 design, manufacture and supply light gauge steel frame components, frames and structures for the construction industry.
We operate in all areas of the construction sector ranging from where clients require stock lengths and components to the multi-story, pre-designed, engineered and fully assembled end of the market.
Basic materials are formed from the galvanised coil into the necessary straight sections that are then either shipped in their raw state, or undergo further modifications to be incorporated into framed products with dimples, drill holes, service gaps etc.
design
Our in-house designers and structural engineers utilise FRAMECAD software to design the appropriate and most efficient building structures for all projects.
manufacture
Once the design is approved, it is transferred directly to our FRAMECAD machine, ensuring absolute accuracy from design to manufacturing.
assemble
Additional insulation and other materials can be installed at this time. Each panel receives a unique panel assembly number ready to be installed on-site.
install
We can either send out our panelised frames with detailed assembly instructions, or send a team of experts to install the entire frame for you.

10%-15% lower cost depending on efficiency of follow on trade. You can buy steel direct from our online store today. We offer UK wide delivery.
Steel has the upper hand over timber when it comes to durability. Steel doesn’t warp or expand, and it can withstand extreme weather events.
The lifespan for steel framing is estimated to be hundreds of years or more, which is much longer than traditional timber construction.
Steel’s inflammability limits the spread of fires, timber frames simply can’t compete and insurance rates are often much lower.
Steel is highly resistant to mold and it copes better with water damage than timber does. Galvanized steel treatments increase rust resistance.

The brief was to create a building that housed a workshop that the customer could use to work from home. A large LGS structure that sits on a concrete pad.
new loft (saltdean)
12 x 8m roof area | 2 dormer windows
The brief was to create a converted loft in this house, so the owners could use the area as extra living space. 2 dormer sections increase the head room considerably.
new roof (norfolk)
12.5 X 9M roof area | 3.8m high PITCH
The brief was to create a brand new roof with a higher pitch, on this bungalow in Norfolk. This will give the homeowners space for bedrooms on the 1st floor.

Reasons to buy a STEEL-FRAMED Garden Room
Garden rooms, unlike sheds or summerhouses, are built in much the same way as a modern home. At their core, most use either conventional timber-framing or, more recently, structural insulated panels (SIPs). As the construction industry adopts new techniques, however, there’s an emerging trend of building a garden room around a light gauge steel frame.…
