What Is Mobile Welding for Car Footplates in Manchester?

On-site mobile car footplate welding in Manchester

Mobile welding means I bring all the equipment and materials to you, so the footplate or vehicle metalwork can be repaired or fabricated on-site. This is ideal when footplates are rusted, cracked, or too heavy and awkward to remove safely.

In Manchester, vehicle footplate welding is often urgent: a trailer base that’s weakened, a car footplate with holes, or chassis brackets that need reinforcement. On-site welding saves time, transport costs, and keeps your vehicle off the road for less time.

  • ✓ Welding at homes, garages, workshops and yards
  • ✓ MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) welding depending on the job
  • ✓ Perfect for fixed or heavy vehicle footplates and chassis parts
  • ✓ Saves time and cost compared to workshop transport
  • ✓ Local mobile welder covering Manchester & Greater Manchester
  • ✓ Ideal for repairs, reinforcement, modifications and new footplates

Unsure if your footplate can be repaired or requires replacement? Send photos and I’ll provide a realistic, safe recommendation.

Less Downtime

On-site welding keeps vehicles on the road or in use—no waiting for transport or workshop availability.

Cost Effective

Eliminates the need for lifting gear, removal labour, and transport vehicles—saving money on repairs.

Convenient & Flexible

Evenings and weekends can be arranged where possible, ideal for busy garages and vehicle owners.

Better Practical Solutions

Seeing the footplate in situ allows smarter fixes—such as reinforcing weak areas or fabricating custom brackets.

Sometimes, yes (depending on availability). Call 07700176109 with photos and your postcode and I’ll advise on the earliest slot.

5. What metals can you weld?

Most commonly mild/structural steel. 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. Footplate and bracket work often takes 2–4 hours. Larger jobs can be half day or full day.

13. Do you work evenings or weekends?

Often yes, by arrangement. Out-of-hours slots can carry a small premium depending on the job and travel.

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.

16. Can you paint after welding?

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.

19. Can you quote in person first?

Many jobs can be priced from photos. For larger or complicated work, a short site visit can be arranged.
