About Our Car Welding Service in Manchester
Car Welding in Manchester is a practical, down-to-earth service built around one simple idea: you shouldn’t have to transport heavy or complex vehicle metalwork across town to get it repaired. I turn up, set up safely, and weld your car, trailer or plant equipment where it stands—driveway, garage, yard or site.
Over the years I’ve worked on everything from small automotive repairs (brackets, mounts, chassis cracks) through to armoured vehicle welding and light industrial plant repairs. 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 like dealing with the person actually doing the job. No call centres, no confusing handovers—just straightforward advice, fair pricing, and tidy work.
What Is Mobile Welding in Manchester?
Mobile welding means the welder comes directly to your location. I bring all welding equipment, tools, leads, consumables, and (when required) a generator—so the job can be completed on-site. This is perfect when the vehicle or metalwork is too large, heavy, bolted in place, or inconvenient to transport.
In Manchester, many car welding call-outs are urgent: a cracked chassis rail, a broken trailer ramp, a tow bracket failure, or armoured vehicle welds needed for security upgrades. On-site welding cuts out delays and keeps your vehicle or equipment operational.
- ✓ Welding at homes, garages, yards, and vehicle workshops
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) welding available depending on the job
- ✓ Great for fixed or heavy automotive items that can’t be moved
- ✓ Saves time and costs compared to transporting to a fabrication shop
- ✓ Local mobile car welder covering Manchester & Greater Manchester
- ✓ Useful for repairs, reinforcement, modifications, and new brackets

Why Mobile Car Welding Matters for Manchester Customers
Taking vehicle metalwork to a workshop sounds simple—until you’re dealing with a heavy chassis, a fixed trailer frame, an armoured vehicle, or plant equipment that can’t be moved safely. Mobile car welding in Manchester saves you the headache by fixing it where it sits.
That means less downtime, fewer recovery costs, and faster repairs. For garages and fleet operators, it helps keep vehicles on the road. For homeowners and trades, it means quick, practical fixes. For businesses, it means equipment gets back into service without unnecessary delay.
On-site welding keeps vehicles and equipment moving—no waiting for transport, no workshop queues, no extra handling.
Repairing on location can save on lifting gear, removal labour, and recovery vehicles—especially for bulky or heavy automotive parts.
Evenings and weekends can be arranged when possible, which is ideal for busy garages and working households.
Seeing the vehicle or equipment in place often allows a smarter fix—adding a reinforcing plate or changing the bracket design to stop it failing again.

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.

I cover Manchester and most of Greater Manchester including Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Oldham, Bolton and surrounding areas. If you’re unsure, call and I’ll confirm.
3. Can you weld vehicle chassis and armoured vehicles?
Yes. I regularly weld chassis rails, frames and armoured plating on vehicles, ideally following engineer details where provided.

Sometimes, yes (depending on the diary). Call 07700176109 with photos and your postcode and I’ll tell you the earliest realistic slot.
5. What metals can you weld on vehicles?
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. Trailer/chassis work often takes 2–4 hours. Larger armoured or industrial 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 vehicle 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.
