— About Burly
We build the result the client can see in their head.
Not simply what the drawing says.
“We put ourselves in the client’s shoes and adapt the solution around what they actually need"

— The story
A lifelong side hustle that reached the point of no return.
Burly Steelworks was officially established in 2020 by Jan Robinson. What started as years of hands-on steelwork alongside other work became a dedicated fabrication business.
Today, Jan remains directly involved—from understanding the idea and solving the practical details to fabrication, installation and aftersales support.

— What matters on every project
Listen carefully. Build practically. Stay accountable.
01
Understand the intended result
The best solution starts with how the client wants the finished space to look and work.
02
Make it safe and buildable
Ideas become practical steelwork that can be fabricated and installed properly.
03
Stay after handover
Aftersales support is part of the relationship, not an optional extra.
— Local focus
Based in Pomona. Focused on the East Rand.
Burly has completed work beyond Gauteng, but the website’s growth focus is deliberately local: helping businesses, landlords, architects and contractors across Ekurhuleni.
