About Our Metal Joint Welding Service in Manchester
Metal Joint Welding Manchester is a straightforward, reliable service focused on bringing expert welding directly to your location. No need to move heavy or fixed metalwork; I come to you and weld the joints where they stand—whether in driveways, yards, workshops, construction sites, or back gardens.
I’ve worked on a wide range of projects, from domestic gate and railing joints to architectural metalwork and armoured vehicle joint repairs. I’m familiar with tight spaces, busy streets, awkward angles, and challenging access. I always aim to find practical, safe solutions and explain them clearly.
Clients appreciate dealing directly with the welder who does the job—no call centres or confusing handovers. Expect straightforward advice, fair pricing, and tidy, professional work.
What Is Mobile Welding in Manchester?
Mobile welding means I bring all the welding equipment, tools, and consumables to your location—whether that’s a home, workshop, yard or construction site. When power isn’t available, I bring a generator to ensure the job can be done on-site. This approach is perfect when metal joints are too large, heavy, fixed in place, or inconvenient to transport.
In Manchester, many welding jobs are urgent—like a gate that won’t close, a cracked joint on an armoured vehicle, or architectural metalwork that needs fixing before work can continue. Mobile welding cuts out delays, transport costs, and keeps your project or equipment moving.
- ✓ Welding at homes, workshops, yards, and building sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) welding options depending on the job
- ✓ Ideal for fixed or heavy metal joints that can’t be moved
- ✓ Saves time and costs compared to workshop transport
- ✓ Local metal joint welding service covering Manchester & Greater Manchester
- ✓ Suitable for repairs, reinforcement, modifications, and new joint fabrication
Unsure if your metal joint can be repaired or needs replacement? Send a photo and I’ll provide an honest assessment. Safety and durability are always my priorities.

Why Mobile Welding Matters for Manchester Customers
Transporting heavy or fixed metalwork to a workshop can be costly and time-consuming—especially for large structural joints, armoured vehicle components, or architectural metalwork. Mobile welding in Manchester solves this by repairing metal joints on-site, wherever they are.
This means less downtime, lower recovery costs, and faster repairs. Builders can keep projects on schedule, homeowners can secure their properties quickly, and businesses can minimise equipment downtime.
On-site welding keeps projects moving—no waiting for transport, no workshop queues, no extra handling.
Repairing metal joints on location saves on lifting gear, removal labour, and recovery vehicles—especially for bulky or fixed items.
Evenings and weekends can be arranged where possible, ideal for busy tradespeople and working households.
Seeing the joint in place often allows smarter fixes—like adding reinforcing plates or changing bracket designs to prevent future failures.

Most commonly mild/structural 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 metal 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.
