About Our Steel Tube Welding Service in Manchester
Steel Tube Welding in Manchester is a practical, down-to-earth service focused on one principle: you shouldn’t have to transport heavy or fixed steel tubes across town for repairs. I come to your location, set up safely, and weld the tubes where they stand—whether in a driveway, yard, workshop, site, or garden.
Over the years I’ve worked on everything from small domestic tube jobs (gates, railings, frames, brackets) through to site structural tubework and light industrial repairs. I’m experienced with tight access, busy streets, awkward angles, and “can you just make it work” situations. If there’s a sensible solution, I’ll find it and explain it clearly.
Customers appreciate dealing directly with the welder doing the work. No call centres, no confusing handovers—just straightforward advice, fair pricing, and tidy, reliable tube welding.
What Is Mobile Steel Tube Welding in Manchester?
Mobile steel tube welding means I bring all the welding equipment to you. This includes welding machines, tools, leads, consumables, and if needed, a generator—so the job can be done on-site. It’s the perfect solution when steel tubes are too large, heavy, bolted in place, or inconvenient to move.
In Manchester, many welding jobs are urgent: a broken architectural tube frame, a damaged armoured vehicle tube chassis, or structural tubework that must be joined before construction continues. Mobile welding removes delays and keeps your project or repair moving smoothly.
- ✓ Welding at homes, workshops, yards and building sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) welding available depending on the job
- ✓ Ideal for fixed or heavy steel tube items that can’t be moved
- ✓ Saves time and transport costs compared to workshop welding
- ✓ Local mobile steel tube welder covering Manchester & Greater Manchester

Why Mobile Steel Tube Welding Matters for Manchester Customers
Taking steel tubework to a workshop might sound simple—until you’re dealing with a heavy gate, a fixed railing, a steel tube beam already installed, or a vehicle chassis tube that can’t be safely moved. Mobile steel tube welding in Manchester solves this by repairing tubes where they are.
This means less downtime, fewer recovery costs, and faster repairs. For builders, it keeps projects on schedule. For homeowners, it quickly secures your property. For businesses, it gets equipment back in action without unnecessary delay.
On-site tube welding keeps projects moving—no waiting for transport, no workshop queues, no extra handling.
Repairing tubes 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 tubes in place often allows smarter fixes—adding reinforcing plates or redesigning brackets to prevent repeat 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 tubes. Stainless and aluminium tubes 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 tubes are 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 tubes 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 tube work often takes 2–4 hours. Larger site jobs can be half day or full day.

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.

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 tube work?

Bank transfer is preferred. Payment is normally due once the job is completed and you’re happy with the work.
