About Our Auto Body Welder in Manchester
Auto Body Welder Manchester is a practical, no-nonsense service built around one simple idea: you shouldn’t have to tow or transport heavy or awkward vehicles just to get welding repairs done. I come to you, set up safely, and weld your vehicle where it stands—driveway, garage, yard, or site.
Over the years I’ve worked on everything from small vehicle body repairs (car panels, brackets, hinges) through to chassis welding, armoured vehicle fabrication, and commercial fleet maintenance. I’m used to tight access, busy streets, awkward angles and “can you just make it work” situations. If there’s a sensible solution, I’ll find it and explain it clearly.
Customers often tell me they appreciate dealing directly with the welder doing the job. No call centres, no confusing handovers—just straightforward advice, fair pricing, and tidy, reliable work.
What Is Mobile Welding in Manchester?
Mobile welding means I come to your vehicle—bringing all the welding equipment, tools, consumables, and if needed, a generator. The job is done on-site, avoiding the need to transport the vehicle to a workshop. This is ideal when the vehicle is too heavy, too large, or immobile.
In Manchester, many vehicle welding jobs are urgent: a trailer ramp broken, a chassis crack, a damaged armoured vehicle panel, or bodywork that needs fixing before the vehicle can be safely used. Mobile welding cuts out delays and keeps your vehicle on the road.
- ✓ Welding at homes, garages, yards and commercial sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) welding available depending on the job
- ✓ Great for fixed or heavy vehicle parts that can’t be moved
- ✓ Saves time and towing costs vs taking vehicle to a workshop
- ✓ Local auto body welder covering Manchester & Greater Manchester
- ✓ Useful for repairs, reinforcement, modifications and new brackets
Unsure if your vehicle damage can be repaired or needs replacement? Send a photo. I’ll give you a realistic answer—because the safest option is always the right option.

Why Mobile Welding Matters for Manchester Vehicle Owners
Taking a vehicle or trailer to a workshop sounds simple—until you’re dealing with a broken chassis, a fixed trailer ramp, an armoured vehicle panel, or a commercial vehicle that can’t be towed safely. Mobile welding in Manchester saves you the hassle by fixing it where it sits.
That means less downtime, fewer towing and recovery costs, and faster repairs. For garages and fleet operators, it helps keep vehicles on the road. For vehicle owners, it means you can get back to work or on the road quickly.
On-site welding keeps vehicles moving—no waiting for transport, no workshop queues, no extra handling.
Repairing on location can save on towing, labour, and recovery vehicles—especially for heavy or immobile vehicles.
Evenings and weekends can be arranged when possible, ideal for busy garages and vehicle owners.
Seeing the vehicle in place often allows a smarter fix—adding reinforcing plates or changing bracket design to prevent future failure.

I use proper PPE, keep a fire extinguisher close, and manage cables and leads carefully. If conditions aren’t safe (for example, strong wind and rain outdoors), I’ll tell you honestly and rearrange or find an alternative.

Sometimes, yes (depending on the diary). Call 07700176109 with photos and your postcode and I’ll tell you the earliest realistic slot.

Most commonly mild/structural steel used in vehicle bodies. Stainless and aluminium may be possible depending on the job, access and conditions—send a photo and I’ll advise.
6. Do I need to provide power?
Power on-site helps, but it’s not always required. If needed, I can bring a generator—just tell me what’s available.
7. Can you weld outdoors?
Yes, as long as conditions are safe. Heavy rain or strong wind can affect quality and safety—if weather is bad we’ll rearrange.
8. Can you quote from photos?
Photos are the quickest way to get a guide price. Final cost can depend on what the metal is like once I’m on-site (rust/thickness/access).
9. Do you supply plates and brackets?
Yes—small plates, flat bar and brackets can often be supplied as part of the repair. Larger steel may need ordering in advance.
10. Can you weld vehicle chassis for MOT?
Sometimes, if it’s suitable and safe. I’ll inspect first and may decline if corrosion is extensive or if it’s not a safe repair.
11. How do I prepare for your visit?
Clear the area, move flammables, and ensure there’s space to park nearby. If it’s in a garage or tight access, tell me in advance.
12. How long will you be on site?
Small repairs can be under an hour. Chassis and body work often takes 2–4 hours. Larger site jobs can be half day or full day.

14. Are you insured?
Yes, public liability insurance is in place for mobile welding work. Details can be provided on request.
15. Will sparks damage paintwork or glass?
Sparks can mark surfaces. I protect the area, but I always recommend moving vehicles and valuables where possible before welding starts.

Basic priming/paint can be added as an optional extra. Many customers prefer to paint later once everything is fully cooled and cleaned.
17. Do you issue paperwork for structural work?
I can confirm what welding was carried out, but structural sign-off is always the responsibility of your engineer/building control.
18. What payment methods do you accept?
Bank transfer is preferred. Payment is normally due once the job is completed and you’re happy with the work.
