About Our Large Frame Welding Service in Manchester
Large Frame Welding Manchester is a practical, no-nonsense service focused on delivering expert on-site welding for heavy steel frames and architectural metalwork. You shouldn’t have to transport bulky or fixed steelwork across town just to get it welded. I come to your site, set up safely, and weld the frame or structure where it stands—whether that’s a construction site, workshop, yard, or industrial facility.
Over the years, I have worked on a wide range of projects from architectural metal frames and armoured vehicle welding to industrial plant and structural steel repairs. I’m accustomed to tight spaces, complex access, and challenging welding angles. If there’s a practical solution, I’ll find it and explain it clearly.
Clients appreciate dealing directly with the welder doing the work—no call centres, no confusion—just clear advice, fair pricing, and high-quality welding.
What Is Mobile Welding in Manchester?
Mobile welding means the welder brings all necessary equipment directly to your location. I arrive with welding machines, tools, consumables, and if needed, a generator—so the welding can be done on-site. This is ideal when the metalwork is large, heavy, fixed in place, or otherwise difficult to transport.
In Manchester, many welding jobs require quick turnaround and minimal disruption. Whether it’s a large steel frame for a building extension, an armoured vehicle chassis repair, or architectural metalwork on-site, mobile welding keeps your project moving without costly delays.
- ✓ Welding at construction sites, workshops, yards, and industrial facilities
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) welding methods available depending on the job
- ✓ Perfect for heavy, fixed or awkward metalwork that can’t be moved
- ✓ Saves time and costs compared to transporting large steel to workshops

On-site welding accelerates repairs—no waiting for transport or workshop availability.
Saves on removal, transport, and specialist lifting equipment costs for heavy frames and vehicles.
