About Our Spot Welding Service in Manchester
Spot Welding in Manchester is a practical, no-nonsense service built on one simple principle: you shouldn’t have to move heavy or fixed metalwork to a workshop for spot welding repairs. I come to your location, set up safely, and perform precise spot welds where needed—whether that’s in a driveway, yard, workshop, site, or garden.
Over many years, I’ve worked on everything from small domestic jobs like gate and railing spot weld repairs to site structural steel and light industrial equipment spot welding. I’m experienced with tight access, busy streets, awkward angles, and “can you just make this spot weld work?” requests. If there’s a sensible solution, I’ll find it and explain it clearly.
Clients appreciate dealing directly with the welder who does the work. No call centres, no confusing handovers—just honest advice, fair pricing, and tidy, professional spot welds.
What Is Mobile Spot Welding in Manchester?
Mobile spot welding means I bring the spot welder and all necessary tools directly to your location. I carry spot welding equipment, leads, consumables, and if needed, a generator—so the job can be completed on-site. This is ideal when the metalwork is too large, fixed in place, or inconvenient to transport.
In Manchester, many spot welding call-outs are urgent: a cracked vehicle panel, a broken spot weld on armoured vehicle plating, a railing that needs reinforcement, or trailer panels requiring spot weld repairs. On-site spot welding eliminates delays and keeps your project or equipment moving.
- ✓ Spot welding at homes, workshops, yards and building sites
- ✓ Precision spot welding for mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium (where applicable)
- ✓ Ideal for fixed or heavy items that cannot be moved
- ✓ Saves time and cost compared to transporting to a fabrication shop
- ✓ Local spot welding service covering Manchester & Greater Manchester
- ✓ Useful for repairs, reinforcement, modifications and new brackets

Why Mobile Spot Welding Matters for Manchester Customers
Transporting metalwork to a workshop may seem easy—until you face a heavy gate, a fixed railing, a steel beam already installed, or a trailer panel that can’t be safely moved. Mobile spot welding in Manchester solves this by repairing metalwork where it sits.
This means less downtime, fewer recovery costs, and faster repairs. Builders can keep projects on schedule. Homeowners secure their properties quickly. Businesses get equipment back into service without unnecessary delays.
On-site spot 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 a smarter fix—adding reinforcing plates or adjusting bracket designs to prevent repeat failures.

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 and RSJ spot welding?
Yes. I regularly perform spot welds on beams, posts and connection plates on refurbishments and extensions, ideally following engineer details where provided.
4. Do you offer emergency or same-day spot 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 spot 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 spot 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 spot 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.

14. Are you insured?
Yes, public liability insurance is in place for spot 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.
