Power on-site helps but isn’t always required. If needed, I can bring a generator—just let me know what’s available.

Yes, as long as conditions are safe. Heavy rain or strong wind can affect quality and safety—if weather is unsuitable we’ll rearrange.

Photos are the quickest way to get a guide price. Final cost depends on metal condition, access and complexity once I’m on-site.

Yes—small plates, flat bar and brackets can often be supplied as part of the repair. Larger or bespoke items may need ordering in advance.
10. Can you weld vehicle chassis or ornamental parts for MOT?
Sometimes, if suitable and safe. I inspect first and may decline if corrosion is extensive or the repair isn’t safe.

Clear the area, move flammables, and ensure parking space nearby. If access is tight or in a garden, please inform me in advance.

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