Heavy Steel Tube Welding Manchester is a practical, no-nonsense mobile welding service focused on one key idea: heavy steel tubes and structural metalwork shouldn’t have to be moved miles just to get repaired. I come to your location, set up safely, and weld the tubework where it stands—whether that’s a construction site, workshop, yard or home garden.

Sometimes, yes (depending on diary). Call 07700176109 with photos and postcode for earliest realistic slot.
5. What metals can you weld?
Primarily mild and structural steel tubes. Stainless and aluminium tube welding may be possible depending on job and access—send photos for advice.
6. Do I need to provide power?
Power on-site helps but is not always required. If needed, I can bring a generator—please advise what’s available.
7. Can you weld outdoors?
Yes, if conditions are safe. Heavy rain or strong wind can affect quality and safety—if weather is unsuitable, 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 once 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 or armoured vehicles?
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. For back garden or tight access, please advise in advance.

Small repairs usually under an hour. Medium tubework 2–4 hours. Larger jobs can take half or full day.

Bank transfer is preferred. Payment is normally due once the job is completed and you’re happy with the work.
