About Our On-Site Welder in Manchester
On-Site Welder Manchester is a no-nonsense, practical welding service built on one simple principle: you shouldn’t have to move heavy or fixed metalwork across town just to get it repaired. I come to you, set up safely, and weld it where it stands—whether that’s a driveway, yard, workshop, construction site, or garden.
Over the years, I have worked on everything from small domestic jobs (gates, railings, frames, brackets) to site steelwork and light industrial repairs. I’m familiar with tight access, busy streets, awkward angles, and “can you just make it work” scenarios. If there’s a sensible solution, I’ll find it and explain it clearly.
Customers appreciate dealing directly with the person doing the work. 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 the welding machine, tools, leads, consumables, and if needed, a generator—so the job 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 gate that won’t close, a cracked railing, a bracket broken on an armoured vehicle, or steelwork that must be joined before construction can continue. On-site welding cuts delays and keeps your project moving.
- ✓ Welding at homes, workshops, yards and building sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) welding available depending on the task
- ✓ Perfect for fixed or heavy items that cannot be moved
- ✓ Saves time and transport costs compared to workshop repairs
- ✓ Local on-site welder covering Manchester & Greater Manchester
- ✓ Useful for repairs, reinforcement, modifications and new brackets
Unsure if your metalwork can be repaired or needs replacing? Send a photo. I’ll provide a realistic assessment—because safety always comes first.

Why Mobile Welding Matters for Manchester Customers
Taking metalwork to a workshop sounds easy—until you have a heavy gate, a fixed railing, a steel beam already installed, or an armoured vehicle that can’t be moved safely. On-site welding in Manchester solves these problems by fixing it where it sits.
This means less downtime, fewer recovery costs, and faster repairs. Builders keep projects on schedule. Homeowners secure their properties quickly. Businesses get equipment back in service without unnecessary delay.
On-site welding keeps your project moving—no waiting for transport, workshop queues, or extra handling.
Repairing metalwork on location saves lifting gear, removal labour, and recovery vehicle costs—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 allows smarter fixes—like adding reinforcing plates or modifying bracket designs 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.

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 armoured vehicle panels?
Yes, I have experience with armoured vehicle welding and reinforcement, subject to inspection and safety considerations.
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.

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.

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.
