Why Mobile Welding Matters for Manchester Customers
Taking metal handrails or balustrades to a workshop for repair can be difficult and costly—especially when they’re fixed in place or heavy. Mobile handrail repair welding in Manchester solves this by fixing the metalwork where it stands, saving time and hassle.
This means less downtime and disruption for homes, businesses and building projects. Builders can keep on schedule, landlords can quickly secure communal areas, and homeowners can restore safety without delay.
On-site welding keeps projects and daily life moving—no waiting for transport or workshop availability.
Eliminates the need for lifting equipment, removal labour, and transport costs for bulky metalwork.

Seeing the handrail in place allows smarter repairs, such as adding reinforcement plates or redesigning brackets to prevent repeat failures.

3. Can you weld structural steel and handrails?
Yes. I regularly weld handrails, balustrades, posts and connection plates on refurbishments and extensions, ideally following engineer details where provided.

Sometimes, yes (depending on diary). Call 07700176109 with photos and your postcode and I’ll advise the earliest realistic slot.
5. What metals can you weld?
Most commonly mild/structural steel for handrails. Stainless steel and aluminium may be possible depending on the job, access and conditions—send photos and I’ll advise.
6. Do I need to provide power?
Power on-site helps but is not always required. If needed, I can bring a generator—just let me know 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 poor we’ll rearrange.
8. Can you quote from photos?
Photos are the quickest way to get a guide price. Final cost depends on metal condition once 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 suitable and safe. I 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 space to park nearby. If access is tight or in a back garden, please inform me in advance.
12. How long will you be on site?
Small repairs usually take under an hour. Handrail and structural work often takes 2–4 hours. Larger jobs may require half or full day.

14. Are you insured?
Yes, public liability insurance is in place for all mobile welding work. Details available on request.
15. Will sparks damage paintwork or glass?
Sparks can mark surfaces. I protect the area but recommend moving vehicles and valuables where possible before welding starts.
16. Can you paint after welding?
Basic priming or painting can be added as an optional extra. Many customers prefer to paint later once everything is 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 or 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.
