What Is Mobile Welding in Manchester?

On-site steel post welding work in Manchester

Mobile welding means bringing the welding service directly to your location. I come equipped with welding machines, tools, consumables, and a generator if needed, so I can weld steel posts and other metalwork on-site. This is ideal when steel posts are fixed in place, too heavy to move, or when transporting them would be impractical or costly.

In Manchester, on-site steel post welding is often needed urgently: a fence post that’s broken, a support column that’s cracked, or architectural metalwork requiring welding before construction can continue. Mobile welding saves time and avoids the hassle of moving large steel components.

  • ✓ Welding at homes, construction sites, yards and workshops
  • ✓ MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) welding depending on the job
  • ✓ Perfect for fixed or heavy steel posts and architectural elements
  • ✓ Saves time and transport costs compared to workshop welding
  • ✓ Local mobile welder covering Manchester & Greater Manchester
  • ✓ Suitable for repairs, reinforcements, modifications and new welds

Unsure if your steel post or metalwork can be welded? Send a photo and I’ll give you an honest assessment. Safety and durability are always top priorities.

I use full personal protective equipment (PPE), keep fire extinguishers handy, and manage cables and leads carefully. If weather or site conditions are unsafe, I’ll advise and reschedule or find alternative solutions.

  • ✓ Quick risk assessment before any arc is struck

3. Can you weld structural steel posts and RSJs?

Yes. I regularly weld steel posts, beams and connection plates on refurbishments and extensions, ideally following engineer details when provided.

Sometimes, depending on availability. Call 07700176109 with photos and your postcode and I’ll advise on the earliest realistic appointment.

5. What metals can you weld?

Mainly mild/structural steel posts. Stainless and aluminium may be possible depending on the job and conditions—send a photo for advice.

6. Do I need to provide power on-site?

Power helps but isn’t always required. I can bring a generator if needed—just let me know 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 poor, we’ll rearrange.

8. Can you quote from photos?

Photos are the fastest way to get a guide price. Final cost depends on metal condition, access and prep once on-site.

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 require advance ordering.

10. Can you weld vehicle chassis for MOT?

Sometimes, if suitable and safe. I inspect first and may decline if corrosion is extensive or repair is unsafe.

11. How do I prepare for your visit?

Clear the area, remove flammables, and ensure parking is close. For back garden or tight access, please inform me in advance.

Basic priming or painting can be added as an optional extra. Many customers prefer to paint later once welds are cooled and cleaned.
