Our Story
Rackerman is a family-owned online business based in the North East of England, supplying steel and building materials to trade and DIY customers across mainland UK. From structural steel beams and sections to sheet metal, timber, and garden materials, we help builders, fabricators, and homeowners get the right materials, cut to size where needed, and delivered to their door.
What we do
We supply a wide range of steel and building products, including:
- Structural steel — universal beams (RSJs), columns, box and angle section, channel, and bar
- Steel and metal sheet — mild steel, galvanised, stainless, aluminium, and chequer/durbar plate
- Timber — sawn treated softwood, CLS, and worktops
- Garden and outdoor — playground rubber chippings, fencing, and more
Our steel is supplied to recognised BS EN standards, and we offer a cut-to-size service on steel sections so you only handle the lengths you need.
Why customers choose us
- UK-based and family-run — you're dealing with a real business in the North East, not a faceless marketplace.

- Cut-to-size service — we cut steel sections to your specified lengths.
- Mainland UK delivery — using our own in-house delivery service and trusted pallet couriers, with free delivery on RSJs and playground chippings.
- 30-day money-back guarantee — buy with confidence (excludes cut-to-size items).
