About Our Iron Welding Service in Manchester
Iron Welding Service in Manchester is a practical, down-to-earth service built around one simple idea: you shouldn’t have to transport heavy ironwork across town to get it repaired. I arrive on-site, set up safely, and weld it where it stands—driveway, yard, workshop, site, or back garden.
Over the years I’ve worked on everything from small domestic iron jobs (gates, railings, frames, brackets) through to architectural ironwork and armoured vehicle welding. I’m used to tight access, busy streets, awkward angles and “can you just make it work” situations. If there’s a sensible solution, I’ll find it and explain it clearly.
Customers often tell me they appreciate dealing directly with the person doing the welding. No call centres, no confusing handovers—just straightforward advice, fair pricing, and tidy work.
What Is Mobile Iron Welding in Manchester?
Mobile iron welding means I come to your location with all the equipment needed to weld and repair ironwork on-site. I bring the welding machine, tools, leads, consumables, and when necessary, a generator—so the job can be completed without moving heavy ironwork. This is ideal when the ironwork is fixed, bulky, or too heavy to transport.
In Manchester, many call-outs are urgent: a security gate that won’t close, a cracked armoured vehicle frame, a broken railing, or ironwork that must be repaired before construction can continue. Mobile iron welding cuts delays and keeps your project or property secure.
- ✓ Welding at homes, workshops, yards and building sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) welding available depending on the job
- ✓ Perfect for fixed or heavy iron items that can’t be moved
- ✓ Saves time and recovery costs compared to workshop repairs
- ✓ Local iron welding service covering Manchester & Greater Manchester
- ✓ Useful for repairs, reinforcement, modifications and new brackets

Why Mobile Iron Welding Matters for Manchester Customers
Taking ironwork to a workshop sounds simple—until you’re dealing with a heavy security gate, a fixed railing, an armoured vehicle frame already installed, or a trailer that can’t be towed safely. Mobile iron welding in Manchester saves you the hassle by fixing it where it sits.
That means less downtime, fewer recovery costs, and faster repairs. For builders and security companies, it helps keep schedules and safety on track. For homeowners, it means you can secure your property quickly. For businesses, it means equipment gets back into service without unnecessary delay.
On-site welding keeps projects moving—no waiting for transport, no workshop queues, no extra handling.
Repairing on location can save on lifting gear, removal labour, and recovery vehicles—especially for bulky iron items.
Evenings and weekends can be arranged when possible, ideal for busy trades and working households.
Seeing the job in place often allows a smarter fix—adding a reinforcing plate or changing the bracket design to stop it failing again.

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 iron and 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 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 iron may need ordering in advance.
10. Can you weld armoured vehicle frames for MOT or repair?
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.

14. Are you insured?
Yes, public liability insurance is in place for mobile iron 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.

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 ironwork?
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.
