About Our Custom Metal Welding Service in Manchester
Custom Metal Welding Manchester is a practical, reliable service built on the principle that heavy or fixed metalwork shouldn’t have to be moved for repairs or fabrication. I come to your location, set up safely, and weld on-site—whether that’s a driveway, workshop, construction site, or back garden.
With years of experience, I’ve handled everything from delicate architectural metalwork and armoured vehicle welding to site steelwork and industrial repairs. I’m familiar with tight access, busy streets, awkward angles, and “make it work” challenges. I always find sensible, cost-effective solutions and explain them clearly.
Clients appreciate dealing directly with the welder doing the work—no call centres, no confusion, just straightforward advice, fair pricing, and neat, durable results.
What Is Mobile Welding in Manchester?
Mobile welding means I bring all the welding equipment and materials to your location, completing the job on-site. This approach is perfect when metalwork is too large, heavy, bolted in place, or inconvenient to transport.
In Manchester, many welding jobs are urgent: repairing armoured vehicle panels, fixing architectural metalwork, or joining structural steel for building projects. Mobile welding eliminates delays and keeps your projects and equipment moving.
- ✓ Welding at homes, workshops, yards, building sites and industrial locations
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) welding available depending on the metal and job
- ✓ Ideal for fixed or heavy items that cannot be moved

Why Mobile Welding Matters for Manchester Customers
Transporting metalwork to a workshop can be costly, time-consuming, or impossible—especially for heavy gates, fixed railings, installed steel beams, or armoured vehicle panels. Custom metal welding in Manchester solves this by repairing or fabricating on-site, saving you hassle.
This means less downtime, lower recovery costs, and faster turnaround. Builders keep projects on schedule, homeowners secure their property quickly, and businesses minimise equipment downtime.
On-site welding keeps your projects and equipment moving without transport delays or workshop queues.
Saves on lifting gear, removal labour and transport vehicles—especially for bulky or fixed metalwork.
Evening and weekend appointments available by arrangement, ideal for busy households and tradespeople.
Seeing the metalwork in place allows smarter fixes—adding reinforcing plates or modifying brackets to prevent future failures.

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. 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 armoured vehicle panels?
Yes, I have experience with armoured vehicle welding subject to inspection and safety assessment.
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 back garden or tight access, tell me in advance.

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

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.

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.
