About Our Fabrication Welder in Manchester

Fabrication Welder Manchester is a practical, no-nonsense service centred on one key principle: you shouldn’t have to move heavy or fixed metalwork to get expert welding and fabrication. I come to your location, set up safely, and complete the work on-site—whether that’s a driveway, workshop, construction site, or garden.

Over the years, I have handled everything from small domestic fabrications (gates, railings, brackets) to complex architectural metalwork and armoured vehicle welding. I’m familiar with tight spaces, busy urban sites, 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 welder doing the work—no call centres, no confusing handovers. Just honest advice, fair pricing, and meticulous craftsmanship.

What Is Mobile Welding in Manchester?

Frequently Asked Questions – Fabrication Welder Manchester

1. How much does a fabrication welder in Manchester cost?

Small local call-outs often start from around £120. Larger or more complex jobs vary depending on time, access, prep and materials. Send photos for a quick guide price.

2. What areas do you cover?

I cover Manchester and most of Greater Manchester including Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Oldham, Bolton and surrounding areas. If unsure, call and I’ll confirm.

3. Can you do structural steel and RSJ fabrication?

Yes. I regularly weld and fabricate beams, posts and connection plates on refurbishments and extensions, ideally following engineer details where provided.

4. Do you offer emergency or same-day fabrication welding?

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 and fabricate?

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 or fabrication. Larger steel may need ordering in advance.

10. Can you weld vehicle chassis for MOT or armoured vehicle fabrication?

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, please inform 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.

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 all mobile fabrication 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 fabrication?

I can confirm what welding and fabrication 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.
