About Our Metal Tube Repair Welder in Manchester
Metal Tube Repair Welder Manchester is a practical, down-to-earth service built around one simple idea: you shouldn’t have to transport heavy or fixed metal tubes across town just to get them repaired. I come to you, set up safely, and weld tubes where they stand—whether in driveways, yards, workshops, construction sites, or back gardens.
Over the years I’ve worked on everything from delicate architectural tubework and armoured vehicle frames through to plant machinery tubes and light industrial repairs. I’m experienced 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 appreciate dealing directly with the person doing the welding. No call centres, no confusing handovers—just straightforward advice, fair pricing, and neat, durable work.
What Is Mobile Welding in Manchester?
Mobile welding means I bring the welding equipment, tools, consumables, and if needed, a generator directly to your location. This allows me to complete metal tube repairs and fabrication on-site without the hassle of transporting heavy or fixed tubes. It’s ideal for metal tubes that are part of fixed structures, armoured vehicle frames, architectural installations, or plant machinery.
In Manchester, many tube welding jobs are urgent: a cracked tube frame on a vehicle, a broken handrail tube, or structural tubework needing reinforcement. Mobile welding saves time and money by completing the work where the tubes are installed.
- ✓ Welding at homes, workshops, yards and building sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) welding depending on tube material and job
- ✓ Perfect for fixed or heavy tube structures that can’t be moved
- ✓ Saves time and transport costs compared to workshop welding

Why Mobile Welding Matters for Manchester Customers
Taking metal tubes to a workshop sounds simple—until you’re dealing with heavy or fixed tube structures like armoured vehicle frames, architectural tubework, or plant machinery tubes that can’t be moved safely. Mobile tube repair welding in Manchester saves you the hassle by fixing tubes where they are installed.
This means less downtime, fewer recovery costs, and faster repairs. For builders and architects, it helps keep projects on schedule. For homeowners, it means secure, safe tube structures quickly. For businesses, it means equipment and vehicles get back into service without unnecessary delay.
On-site tube welding keeps projects moving—no waiting for transport, no workshop queues, no extra handling.
Repairing tubes on location saves on lifting gear, removal labour, and recovery vehicles—especially for bulky or fixed tubework.
Evenings and weekends can be arranged when possible, ideal for busy trades and working households.
Seeing tubework in place often allows smarter fixes—adding reinforcing plates or redesigning brackets to prevent future failures.

Sometimes, yes (depending on the diary). Call 07700176109 with photos and your postcode and I’ll tell you the earliest realistic slot.
5. What metals can you weld?
Most commonly mild/structural steel tubes. Stainless and aluminium tubes 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 tubes are 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 tube repair. Larger steel may need ordering in advance.
10. Can you weld vehicle chassis tubes 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 tube repairs can be under an hour. Gate/structural tube 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 tube work?
I can confirm what welding was carried out, but structural sign-off is always the responsibility of your engineer/building control.

Bank transfer is preferred. Payment is normally due once the job is completed and you’re happy with the work.
