Sometimes, yes (depending on schedule). Call 07700176109 with photos and postcode and I’ll advise earliest availability.
5. What metals can you weld?
Most commonly mild/structural steel rods. Stainless and aluminium rods may be possible depending on job and conditions—send photos for advice.
6. Do I need to provide power?
Power on-site helps but isn’t always required. If needed, I bring a generator—just let me know what’s available.
7. Can you weld outdoors?
Yes, if 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 depends on rod condition once 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 rods for MOT?
Sometimes, if suitable and safe. I inspect first and may decline if corrosion is extensive or repair isn’t safe.
11. How do I prepare for your visit?
Clear the area, move flammables, and ensure parking nearby. For back garden or tight access, please advise in advance.

Small rod repairs can be under an hour. Gate or structural rod work often takes 2–4 hours. Larger jobs may take half or full day.

15. Will sparks damage paintwork or glass?
Sparks can mark surfaces. I protect the area but recommend moving vehicles and valuables before welding starts.

Basic priming/paint can be added as an optional extra. Many customers prefer to paint later once cooled and cleaned.
