About Us
From a yard in Wellingtonbridge to projects across Ireland
Sullivan Steel was founded on a simple idea, that steel work should be done right, by the people doing it, with no middlemen, no inflated quotes, and no surprises halfway through a job.

We're a family-run business based in Ballingly, just outside Wellingtonbridge in Co. Wexford. Over the past ten-plus years, we've built up a reputation in the South East as the contractor farmers and businesses call when they want the job done properly and when they want to deal with the same people from the first phone call to the final flashing.
We started out doing agricultural sheds for local farmers. Word spread, the jobs got bigger, and we now take on industrial and commercial projects anywhere in Ireland. But the original principle hasn't changed: every project, big or small, gets the same standard of work.

How we work
No middlemen. No shortcuts. Same team, start to finish.
Here's what working with Sullivan Steel actually looks like:
Site visit before quoting.
We don't quote off a phone call. We come out, walk the site, talk through what you're trying to achieve, and only then put a number to it. A 20-minute conversation on the ground saves weeks of back-and-forth later.
Clear, written quotes.
Every quote spells out exactly what's included and what's not — steel spec, cladding type, doors, flashings, groundworks, VAT. No vague one-liners that turn into surprises mid-build.
The team on your job is our team.
We don't subcontract the actual work out to other crews. The people you meet on day one are the people you'll see throughout the build.
Same response after the job as before.
We've still got clients ringing us five years after we built their shed to ask about extensions. That's how we like it.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question? Here are some of the most common things we get asked about our services.
The cost of a steel shed in Ireland depends on the size, type of cladding, and whether it's a flat pack kit or a fully custom build. As a general guide, agricultural steel sheds typically start from €5,000–€20,000 for smaller structures, with larger industrial or commercial builds costing significantly more. Contact Sullivan Steel for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your project.
In Ireland, agricultural buildings such as farm sheds are generally exempt from planning permission under certain conditions, including size limits and set distances from roads and boundaries. However, commercial and industrial steel buildings typically do require planning permission. We always recommend checking with your local county council before starting any build.
Steel cladding is a single-skin metal sheeting used primarily for agricultural and industrial buildings where insulation isn't required. Insulated panels consist of two steel skins bonded to a rigid foam core, providing thermal insulation, ideal for commercial buildings, cold stores, or any structure where temperature control is important. Sullivan Steel supplies and installs both options across Ireland.
A flat pack kit shed comes pre-engineered and delivered to site ready for assembly — it's a cost-effective option for standard sizes and straightforward builds. A custom steel shed is designed and fabricated to your exact specifications, giving you full flexibility on size, layout, cladding and finish. Sullivan Steel erects both types across Ireland — we'll advise which is best suited to your project and budget.
Yes, re-roofing and re-cladding existing farm buildings is one of our most common jobs. Whether your existing roof is leaking, corroded or simply past its best, we can strip and replace the sheeting with new steel roofing or cladding, often without the need for significant structural work. We carry out agricultural roof replacements and re-sheeting on farm buildings across Ireland.
Steel roofs in Ireland require relatively little maintenance but benefit from an annual inspection to check for loose fixings, damaged sheets, blocked gutters and any signs of corrosion. Repairing minor issues early prevents costly damage down the line. Sullivan Steel carries out steel roof inspections, repairs and full re-sheeting on agricultural and commercial buildings across Ireland.
Yes, every member of the Sullivan Steel team holds the relevant certifications for safe, compliant site work, including Safe Pass, Manual Handling, Abrasive Wheel, Banksman, Teleporter and MEWP tickets. We work on live agricultural, industrial and commercial sites across Ireland to the highest safety standards.
Sullivan Steel is based in Wellingtonbridge, Co. Wexford and covers projects across Ireland. The area we travel depends on the size and scope of the project, larger industrial and commercial builds will take us anywhere in the country, while smaller jobs are typically within the South East and surrounds.
