About Our Hitch Welding Service in Manchester
Hitch Weldingin Manchester is a practical, no-nonsense mobile welding service focused on one key principle: you shouldn’t have to transport heavy or fixed hitches and metalwork miles to get them repaired. I come to your location, set up safely, and weld your hitch or metalwork on-site—whether that’s in a driveway, yard, workshop, site or garden.
Over the years, I’ve handled a wide range of jobs from small domestic hitch repairs and trailer welding, to architectural metalwork and armoured vehicle welding. I’m familiar with tight spaces, busy streets, awkward angles, and “can you just make this work?” challenges. If there’s a sensible fix, I’ll find it and explain it clearly.
Customers appreciate dealing directly with the welder who does the work. No call centres, no confusion—just honest advice, fair pricing, and tidy, reliable welding.
What Is Mobile Welding in Manchester?
Mobile welding means I bring the welding equipment and expertise directly to your location. I carry all necessary tools, consumables, leads, and if needed, a generator to ensure the job is completed on-site. This is ideal when hitches, tow bars, or metalwork are too heavy, fixed, or inconvenient to move.

3. Can you weld armoured vehicles and structural steel?
Yes. I regularly weld trailer hitches, tow bars, armoured vehicle components and structural steelwork, ideally following engineer details where provided.
4. Do you offer emergency or same-day 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?
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. Hitch or structural work often takes 2–4 hours. Larger site jobs can be half day or full day.

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

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

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.
