Everything
You Need.
Established in 1977, Parkside Steel has grown from a responsive local stockholder into one of the UK's most comprehensive engineering steel suppliers — all from a single national distribution centre in the heart of the East Midlands.
We don't just stock steel. We cut it, process it and deliver it on our own fleet — giving you the speed and certainty that second-tier suppliers simply cannot match.
13 Saws On Site
Bandsaw and TSUNE cold saw capacity covering 10mm to 600mm diameter. 24-hour cutting across manned shifts.
Own Fleet
Our vehicles deliver nationwide daily from Nottinghamshire. No third-party carrier dependency — we control your delivery.
Vast Stock Holding
Over 60,000 sq ft of space. No quantity too small or too large — single piece to bulk contract.
Technical Support
An extensive library of grade data, tolerance tables and certification guidance. We know the steel, not just the stock.
All Shapes.
All Grades.
Bright Engineering Bar
Cold-drawn to tight tolerances. Rounds, flats, squares and hexagons in carbon and alloy grades. The backbone of precision engineering.
Black & Alloy Bar
Hot-rolled rounds in carbon and alloy grades. Large diameter capability for heavy engineering and shaft applications.
Cast Iron
Continuous cast grey iron and ductile (SG) iron bar. Excellent machinability and vibration damping, with ductile grades for strength and impact toughness — bearing housings, bushes, gears and hydraulic bodies.
Key & Ground Steel
Key steel flats and squares to DIN 6880. Precision ground bars and silver steel to fine tolerances for toolroom applications.
We Don't Just
Stock It.
With 12 band saws running 24 hours a day and our high-speed TSUNE cold saws, we handle a single cut piece or batches running to thousands — accurately, quickly and cost-effectively. We cut 99% of our stock range to any length you specify.
Get a Cutting Quote ▶🔩 Precision Grinding
Ground bars to close tolerances and specific surface finishes for applications requiring tighter accuracy than cold-drawn bar.
📋 Material Certification
3.1 material test certificates, chemical analysis and impact testing available. Full traceability on all stock.
🚛 Next-Day Delivery
Our own fleet delivers nationwide daily from Nottinghamshire. We control the vehicle — you get the certainty.
📏 Custom Lengths
No standard length? No problem. One piece or thousands — we cut to any length from our full stock range.
Your Sector.

The Data
Behind the
Steel.
Our technical library gives engineers and procurement teams free access to grade data sheets, tolerance tables, grade equivalents and material certification guidance — everything you need before you order and after you receive.
Grade Data Sheets
Chemical composition, mechanical properties and heat treatment data for every grade we stock.
Tolerance Tables
h9, h11, JS9 and more. Dimensional tolerances for bright bar and sections to BS/EN standards.
Grade Equivalents
Cross-reference BS, EN, DIN, AISI and SAE designations — find the right grade whatever your drawing specifies.
Imperial to Metric
Convert imperial bar sizes to their nearest metric equivalents — quick reference for working from older drawings.
Weight Calculator
Calculate theoretical weight for rounds, flats and hollow sections in any grade.
Steel Glossary
Tensile strength, hardness, machinability, normalising — key metallurgical terms explained clearly.
"Faced with a production shutdown, Parkside had the material in stock, got it cut over the weekend, and saved our contract."
