About Our Emergency Welding Service in Manchester
Emergency Welding Manchester is a practical, no-nonsense service built around one key principle: urgent metalwork repairs should happen where the problem is, without the hassle of moving heavy or fixed items. I arrive promptly, set up safely, and weld on-site—whether that’s a driveway, yard, workshop, site, or back garden.
Over many years, I’ve handled everything from urgent domestic repairs (gates, railings, brackets) to critical site steelwork and industrial fixes. I’m familiar with tight access, busy streets, awkward angles and emergency “make it safe now” situations. If there’s a sensible solution, I’ll find it and explain it clearly.
Clients appreciate dealing directly with the welder doing the work—no call centres, no confusing handovers—just clear advice, fair pricing, and tidy, reliable results.
What Is Mobile Welding in Manchester?
Mobile welding means the welder comes directly to your location. I bring all necessary equipment including welding machines, tools, consumables, and if needed, a generator—so the work is completed on-site. This is ideal when metalwork is too large, heavy, bolted in place, or simply impractical to move.
In Manchester, many emergency welding jobs are urgent: a gate that won’t close, a railing that’s unsafe, a snapped bracket on a trailer, or steelwork needing urgent joining before construction can continue. On-site welding cuts delays and keeps your project or property safe and operational.
- ✓ Welding at homes, workshops, yards and building sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) welding available depending on the job
- ✓ Perfect for fixed or heavy items that can’t be moved
- ✓ Saves time and transport costs versus workshop repairs
- ✓ Local emergency welding covering Manchester & Greater Manchester
- ✓ Useful for urgent repairs, reinforcement, modifications and new brackets
Unsure if your metalwork can be repaired or needs replacing? Send a photo. I’ll provide a realistic assessment because safety is always the priority.

Why Emergency Mobile Welding Matters for Manchester Customers
Taking metalwork to a workshop might seem straightforward—until you’re faced with a heavy gate, a fixed railing, a steel beam already installed, or a trailer that can’t be safely moved. Emergency welding in Manchester solves this by fixing it where it stands.
This approach means less downtime, reduced recovery costs, and faster repairs. Builders can keep projects on schedule, homeowners can secure their property quickly, and businesses can get equipment back into service without unnecessary delays.
On-site emergency welding keeps projects moving—no waiting for transport, no workshop queues, no extra handling.
Repairing in place saves on lifting gear, removal labour, and recovery vehicles—especially for bulky or fixed items.
Evenings and weekends can be arranged when possible, ideal for busy trades and working households.
Seeing the job in place allows smarter fixes—adding reinforcing plates or redesigning brackets to prevent repeat failures.

Emergency Welding Safety Checklist

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 do structural steel and RSJ welding?

Yes, subject to diary and availability. Call 07700176109 with photos and your postcode and I’ll tell you the earliest realistic 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 back garden or tight access, tell me in advance.
12. How long will you be on site?
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.

14. Are you insured?
Yes, public liability insurance is in place for emergency 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.

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