About Our Ladder Welding Repair Service in Manchester
Ladder Welding Repair in Manchester is a practical, no-nonsense service built around one simple idea: you shouldn’t have to dismantle or transport heavy ladders for repairs.

Power on-site helps, but it’s not always required. If needed, I can bring a generator—just tell me what’s available.

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 the ladder’s condition once I’m on-site (rust/thickness/access).
9. Do you supply replacement ladder steps and brackets?
Yes—small parts like steps, flat bars and brackets can often be supplied as part of the repair. Larger or custom parts may need ordering in advance.
10. Are you insured?
Yes, public liability insurance is in place for all ladder welding work. Details can be provided on request.

Clear the area around the ladder, move flammables, and ensure there’s parking nearby. If access is tight or in a back garden, please let me know in advance.

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