About Our Custom Metal Railing Welding Service in Manchester
Custom Metal Railing Welding Manchester is a dedicated, practical service focused on delivering expert on-site welding for architectural metalwork. You shouldn’t have to transport heavy or fixed railings and balustrades across town for repairs or fabrication. I come to your location, set up safely, and weld your metalwork exactly where it stands—whether that’s a balcony, garden, driveway or construction site.
With over a decade of experience, I’ve worked on a wide range of projects from domestic handrails and garden gates to commercial balustrades and structural railing supports. I’m familiar with tight access, tricky angles, and bespoke metal designs. If there’s a practical solution, I’ll find it and explain it clearly.
Clients appreciate dealing directly with the welder doing the work—no call centres or middlemen. You get honest advice, fair pricing, and neat, reliable workmanship every time.
What Is Mobile Welding in Manchester?
Mobile welding means I bring the welding equipment, tools, and materials directly to your location. This allows me to complete fabrication and repairs on-site without you needing to move heavy or fixed metalwork. I carry MIG, TIG and MMA (stick) welding equipment, plus consumables and a generator if power isn’t available.
In Manchester, many railing welding jobs require on-site work because the metalwork is bolted down, built-in, or too large and heavy to transport. Mobile welding saves time, reduces hassle, and keeps your project moving without delays.
- ✓ Welding at homes, commercial properties, workshops, yards and building sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding options depending on metal and finish
- ✓ Perfect for fixed or heavy railings, balconies, gates and balustrades
- ✓ Saves transport and recovery costs versus workshop repairs
- ✓ Local mobile welder covering Manchester & Greater Manchester
- ✓ Ideal for repairs, reinforcements, modifications and bespoke fabrication
Unsure if your railing or metalwork can be repaired or needs replacing? Send a photo and I’ll provide honest advice. The safest and most practical solution is always my priority.

Welding outdoors is possible if conditions are safe. Heavy rain or strong wind can affect quality and safety—if weather is poor, I’ll rearrange.
