About Our Fabrication And Welding Service in Manchester
Fabrication And Welding Service Manchester is built on the principle that metalwork repairs and fabrication should come to you. No need to transport heavy or fixed metalwork across town; I arrive on-site, set up safely, and complete the work wherever it stands—be it a driveway, yard, workshop, site, or garden.
With extensive experience, I’ve handled everything from small domestic jobs like gates, railings, frames, and brackets, to larger site steelwork and light industrial fabrication. I’m familiar with tight access, busy urban locations, awkward angles, and “make it work” challenges. If there’s a practical solution, I’ll find it and explain it clearly.
Clients appreciate dealing directly with the fabricator and welder doing the work. No call centres, no confusing handovers—just straightforward advice, fair pricing, and high-quality workmanship.
What Is Mobile Welding in Manchester?
Mobile welding and fabrication means the fabricator and welder comes to your location. I bring all necessary equipment including welding machines, tools, consumables, and a generator if needed, allowing me to complete the job on-site without moving heavy or fixed metalwork.
In Manchester, many call-outs require urgent or time-sensitive welding: a gate that won’t close, a railing that’s unsafe, armoured vehicle repairs, or steelwork that must be joined before construction can continue. On-site welding avoids delays and keeps your project or property secure.
- ✓ Welding and fabrication at homes, workshops, yards, and building sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG, and stick (MMA) welding available depending on the job
- ✓ Ideal for fixed, heavy, or awkward metalwork that can’t be moved
- ✓ Saves time and transport costs compared to workshop fabrication

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.

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.

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).

Yes, I offer specialist welding and fabrication for armoured vehicles subject to inspection and safety. I assess each job carefully before proceeding.

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.
