Sometimes, depending on availability. Call 07700176109 with photos and postcode for earliest realistic slot.

5. What metals can you weld?

Primarily mild/structural steel. Stainless steel and aluminium may be possible depending on the job and conditions—send a photo for advice.

6. Do I need to provide power?

Power on-site helps but is not always required. I can bring a generator if needed—just let me know 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 depends on metal condition and access once on-site.

9. Do you supply plates and brackets?

Yes—small lock plates, flat bars 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 suitable and safe. I inspect first and may decline if corrosion is extensive or repair is unsafe.

11. How do I prepare for your visit?

Clear the area, remove flammables, and ensure parking space nearby. If access is tight or in a back garden, inform me in advance.

12. How long will you be on site?

Small lock repairs can be under an hour. Gate and frame welding often takes 2–4 hours. Larger jobs may require half or full day.

14. Are you insured?

Yes, public liability insurance is in place for all gate lock welding work. Details available on request.

15. Will sparks damage paintwork or glass?

Sparks can mark surfaces. I protect the area but recommend moving vehicles and valuables before welding starts.

16. Can you paint after welding?

Basic priming or paint can be added as an optional extra. Many customers prefer to paint later once cooled and cleaned.

17. Do you issue paperwork for structural work?

I can confirm what welding was done, but structural sign-off is the responsibility of your engineer or 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 complex work, a short site visit can be arranged.
