I use full personal protective equipment (PPE), keep a fire extinguisher nearby, and manage cables carefully. If weather or site conditions are unsafe, I’ll advise and reschedule or find alternatives.

  • ✓ Quick risk assessment before striking the arc
  • ✓ Fire watch and extinguisher on hand

3. Can you weld architectural and structural railings?

Sometimes, depending on diary availability. Call 07700176109 with photos and your postcode and I’ll advise the earliest slot.

5. What metals can you weld?

Primarily mild/structural steel railings. Stainless steel and aluminium may be possible depending on job specifics—send photos and I’ll advise.

6. Do I need to provide power on-site?

Power helps but isn’t always required. If needed, I 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 unsuitable, 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, access and preparation once on-site.

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 repair is unsafe.

11. How do I prepare for your visit?

Clear the work area, move flammables, and ensure parking nearby. For garden or tight access, please inform me in advance.

12. How long will you be on site?

Small repairs often take under an hour. Railing or structural work usually takes 2–4 hours. Larger jobs may require half or full day.

15. Will sparks damage paintwork or glass?

Basic priming or paint can be added as an optional extra. Many customers prefer to paint later once metal 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 the responsibility of your engineer or building control.
