About Our Metal Repair And Welding Services in Manchester
Metal Repair And Welding Services in Manchester is a practical, down-to-earth service built around one simple idea: you shouldn’t have to transport heavy or fixed metalwork across town to get it repaired. I come to you, set up safely, and weld on-site—whether that’s in a driveway, yard, workshop, construction site, or back garden.
Over the years I’ve worked on everything from delicate architectural metalwork and armoured vehicle welding through to site steelwork and light industrial repairs. I’m familiar with tight access, busy streets, awkward angles and “can you just make it work” situations. If there’s a sensible solution, I’ll find it and explain it clearly.
Customers often tell me they appreciate dealing directly with the person doing the job. No call centres, no confusing handovers—just straightforward advice, fair pricing, and tidy workmanship.
What Is Mobile Welding in Manchester?
Mobile welding means the welder comes directly to your location. I bring all necessary welding equipment, tools, consumables, and if needed, a generator—so the work can be completed on-site. This is ideal when metalwork is too large, heavy, bolted in place, or inconvenient to transport.
In Manchester, many welding jobs are urgent: a damaged armoured vehicle panel, a gate that won’t close, a railing that’s unsafe, or steelwork that must be joined before construction continues. Mobile welding cuts delays and keeps your projects and equipment moving.
- ✓ Welding at homes, workshops, yards and building sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) welding available depending on the job
- ✓ Perfect for fixed or heavy items that can’t be moved
- ✓ Saves time and costs compared to workshop transport
- ✓ Local expert covering Manchester & Greater Manchester
- ✓ Suitable for repairs, reinforcement, modifications and new brackets

Why Mobile Welding Matters for Manchester Customers
Taking metalwork to a workshop sounds simple—until you’re dealing with a heavy armoured vehicle panel, a fixed railing, a steel beam already installed, or a trailer that can’t be safely moved. Mobile welding in Manchester saves you the hassle by repairing it where it sits.
This means less downtime, fewer recovery costs, and faster repairs. Builders benefit from keeping projects on schedule. Homeowners can secure their property quickly. Businesses get equipment back into service without unnecessary delays.
On-site welding keeps projects moving—no waiting for transport, no workshop queues, no extra handling.
Repairing on location saves on lifting gear, removal labour, and recovery vehicles—especially for bulky or fixed items.
Evenings and weekends can be arranged when possible, ideal for busy trades and working households.
Seeing the job in place often allows smarter fixes—adding reinforcing plates or modifying bracket designs to prevent repeat failure.

5. What metals can you weld?
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.
12. How long will you be on site?
Small repairs can be under an hour. Gate/structural work often takes 2–4 hours. Larger site jobs can be half day or full day.

15. Will sparks damage paintwork or glass?
Sparks can mark surfaces. I protect the area, but I always recommend moving vehicles and valuables where possible before welding starts.

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