About Our Iron Welding Fabricator in Manchester
Iron Welding Fabricator Manchester is a practical, no-nonsense service focused on one principle: you shouldn’t have to transport heavy ironwork across town to get it fabricated or repaired. I come to your location, set up safely, and weld or fabricate the ironwork where it stands—whether that’s a driveway, yard, workshop, construction site, or back garden.
Over the years I’ve worked on everything from delicate architectural ironwork and security gates to armoured vehicle repairs and structural steel for commercial projects. I’m accustomed to tight access, busy streets, awkward angles and “can you just make it work” challenges. If there’s a sensible solution, I’ll find it and communicate it clearly.
Customers appreciate dealing directly with the fabricator doing the work. No call centres, no confusing handovers—just honest advice, fair pricing, and quality workmanship.
What Is Mobile Welding in Manchester?
Mobile welding means I bring the iron welding fabrication workshop to you. Equipped with welding machines, tools, consumables, and if needed a generator, I complete the job on-site. This is ideal when the ironwork is too large, fixed in place, or inconvenient to transport.
In Manchester, many jobs require quick, on-site welding: architectural ironwork installations, armoured vehicle repairs, security gates that won’t close, or structural steel that must be joined before construction continues. Mobile welding cuts delays and keeps your project on schedule.
- ✓ Welding at homes, workshops, yards and building sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) welding available depending on the job
- ✓ Perfect for fixed or heavy ironwork that can’t be moved
- ✓ Saves time and costs compared to transporting to a workshop
- ✓ Local fabricator covering Manchester & Greater Manchester
- ✓ Useful for repairs, reinforcement, modifications and new iron brackets
Unsure if your ironwork can be repaired or needs replacing? Send a photo. I’ll provide a realistic, safety-first recommendation.

Why Mobile Iron Welding Fabrication Matters for Manchester Customers
Taking ironwork to a workshop may seem straightforward—until you’re faced with a heavy gate, a fixed railing, a steel beam already installed, or an armoured vehicle that can’t be moved easily. Mobile iron welding fabrication in Manchester solves this by repairing and fabricating on-site.
This means less downtime, fewer transport and recovery costs, and faster turnaround. Builders benefit from keeping projects on schedule. Homeowners can secure their property quickly. Businesses get equipment back in service without unnecessary delays.
On-site fabrication keeps projects moving—no waiting for transport, no workshop queues, no extra handling.
Repairing or fabricating on location saves on lifting gear, removal labour, and recovery vehicles—especially for bulky ironwork.
Evenings and weekends can be arranged when possible, ideal for busy trades and working households.
Seeing the job in place allows smarter fixes—adding reinforcing plates or altering bracket designs to prevent future failure.

I cover Manchester and most of Greater Manchester including Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Oldham, Bolton and surrounding areas. If you’re unsure, call and I’ll confirm.
3. Can you do structural steel and RSJ welding?
Yes. I regularly weld beams, posts and connection plates on refurbishments and extensions, 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 and iron. 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 iron 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. 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 mobile 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 work?
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.
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.
