About Our MIG Welder For Hire in Manchester
MIG Welder For Hire in Manchester is a professional, practical service built around one simple idea: you shouldn't have to transport heavy or awkward metalwork across town for welding. I come to your location, set up safely, and perform expert MIG welding on-site—whether in your driveway, yard, workshop, site, or garden.
Over the years, I have worked on everything from delicate architectural metalwork and armoured vehicle welding to site steelwork and industrial repairs. I am familiar with tight access, busy urban locations, awkward angles, and “make it work” challenges. If there’s a sensible solution, I’ll find it and explain it clearly.
Clients appreciate dealing directly with the welder doing the work. No call centres, no confusing handovers—just straightforward advice, fair pricing, and tidy, reliable workmanship.
What Is Mobile Welding in Manchester?
Mobile welding means the welder comes directly to your location. I bring the MIG welding machine, tools, consumables, and if needed, a generator—allowing the job to be completed on-site. This is ideal when metalwork is too large, heavy, fixed in place, or inconvenient to move.
In Manchester, many welding jobs are urgent: a gate that won’t close, a cracked architectural feature, armoured vehicle repairs, or steelwork that must be joined before construction can continue. On-site MIG welding eliminates delays and keeps your projects moving.
- ✓ Welding at homes, workshops, yards, and construction sites
- ✓ Specialist MIG welding for armoured vehicles, architectural metalwork, and structural steel
- ✓ Perfect for fixed or heavy items that can’t be moved
- ✓ Saves time and costs versus transporting to a workshop
- ✓ Local MIG welder covering Manchester & Greater Manchester
- ✓ Ideal for repairs, reinforcement, modifications, and new brackets
Unsure if your metalwork can be repaired or needs replacement? Send a photo. I’ll provide a realistic assessment—because safety is always the priority.

Why Mobile MIG Welding Matters for Manchester Customers
Taking metalwork to a workshop sounds straightforward—until you’re faced with a heavy gate, a fixed railing, an armoured vehicle chassis, or a steel beam already installed on-site. Mobile MIG welding in Manchester saves you the hassle by repairing it exactly where it stands.
This means less downtime, fewer recovery costs, and faster repairs. Builders benefit from keeping projects on schedule. Homeowners can secure their properties swiftly. Businesses get equipment back in action without unnecessary delays.
On-site MIG welding keeps projects moving—no waiting for transport, no workshop queues, no extra handling.
Repairing in place can save on lifting gear, removal labour, and recovery vehicles—especially for bulky or heavy items.
Evenings and weekends can be arranged when possible, perfect for busy tradespeople and working households.
Seeing the job in its actual environment allows smarter fixes—like adding reinforcing plates or redesigning brackets to prevent repeat failures.

Small local call-outs typically start from around £120. Larger jobs vary depending on time, access, preparation and materials. Send photos for a fast guide price.
2. What areas do you cover?
I cover Manchester and most of Greater Manchester including Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Oldham, Bolton and surrounding areas. If you’re unsure, call and I’ll confirm.
3. Can you do structural steel and RSJ MIG welding?
Yes. I regularly weld beams, posts and connection plates on refurbishments and extensions, ideally following engineer details where provided.
4. Do you offer emergency or same-day MIG welding?
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 MIG 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.
13. Do you work evenings or weekends?
Often yes, by arrangement. Out-of-hours slots can carry a small premium depending on the job and travel.
14. Are you insured?
Yes, public liability insurance is in place for mobile MIG welding work. Details can be provided on request.
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.
16. Can you paint after welding?
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.

Many jobs can be priced from photos. For larger or complicated work, a short site visit can be arranged.
