About Our Iron Handrail Welding Service in Manchester
Iron Handrail Welding Manchester is a practical, customer-focused service built around one simple idea: you shouldn’t have to remove heavy or fixed handrails to get them repaired. I come to your location, set up safely, and weld the handrail where it stands—whether that’s a driveway, yard, workshop, site, or garden.
Over the years I’ve worked on everything from small domestic handrail repairs (balustrades, brackets, frames) through to site steelwork and commercial handrail installations. I’m experienced with tight access, awkward angles, and “can you make this safe again?” situations. If there’s a sensible solution, I’ll find it and explain it clearly.
Customers appreciate dealing directly with the welder who does the work. No call centres, no confusing handovers—just straightforward advice, fair pricing, and tidy, durable results.

Why Mobile Welding Matters for Iron Handrail Repairs in Manchester

This means less downtime, reduced transport and labour costs, and faster restoration of safety and aesthetics. Builders benefit from keeping projects on schedule, homeowners avoid disruption, and landlords maintain communal safety.
On-site welding keeps your handrails and balustrades safe and functional without waiting for removals and workshop repairs.
Save on removal, transport, and reinstallation costs by having repairs done on location.

Sometimes, yes (depending on availability). Call 07700176109 with photos and your postcode and I’ll tell you the earliest realistic slot.
5. What welding methods do you use?
I use MIG, TIG and MMA (stick) welding depending on the metal type, thickness and location of the handrail repair.

Power helps but is not always required. If needed, I can bring a generator—just let me know what’s available at your location.
7. Can you weld outdoors in bad weather?
Yes, as long as conditions are safe. Heavy rain or strong wind can affect welding quality and safety. If weather is poor, we’ll rearrange.
8. Can you quote from photos alone?
Photos are the quickest way to get a guide price. Final cost may vary once I inspect the metal condition and access on-site.
9. Do you supply replacement brackets and plates?
Yes—small plates, flat bars and brackets can often be supplied as part of the repair. Larger steel components may need ordering in advance.
10. How do I prepare for your visit?
Please clear the area around the handrail, move flammable materials, and ensure there’s parking nearby. For back gardens or tight access, let me know in advance.
11. How long will the welding take?
Small repairs can be under an hour. More extensive handrail or structural work typically takes 2–4 hours or longer for large projects.

Sparks can mark surfaces. I take care to protect nearby paintwork and glass, but I recommend moving vehicles and valuables if possible before welding starts.

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