Structural Welding Specialist in Manchester – On-Site Structural Welding & Metal Repairs
24/7 On-Site Structural Welding Across Manchester & Greater Manchester From £120
Need a reliable structural welding specialist in Manchester who can come directly to your site or property and deliver expert welding without delay? I’m a local, experienced one-man welder equipped to handle everything from armoured vehicle welding to architectural metalwork and heavy structural steel repairs. When moving the metalwork is impractical or impossible, mobile structural welding is the most efficient solution.
I specialise in welding and repairing structural steel daily, including RSJs, beams, posts, and complex architectural metal components. I also provide expert welding for armoured vehicles, industrial plant, and bespoke fabrication projects. Whether you need a steel frame joined on-site, a security gate reinforced, or a heavy-duty vehicle chassis repaired, you’ll receive clean, strong, and code-compliant welds.
Serving Manchester city centre and surrounding areas like Salford, Trafford, and Stockport, I work with builders, architects, landlords, industrial clients, and homeowners. Send photos and your postcode, and I’ll provide a clear, honest quote with realistic timing and expert advice.

About Our Structural Welding Specialist in Manchester
Structural Welding Specialist Manchester is a practical, no-nonsense service built on one clear principle: you shouldn’t have to transport heavy or fixed structural steel to get expert welding. I come to your location, set up safely, and weld the structure right where it stands—whether that’s a construction site, workshop, yard, or garden.
Over the years, I’ve completed projects ranging from small domestic architectural metalwork (gates, railings, brackets) to large site structural steelwork and industrial repairs. I’m accustomed to tight spaces, challenging access, and “make it work” situations. If there’s a practical solution, I’ll find it and explain it clearly.
Clients appreciate dealing directly with the person doing the welding. No call centres, no confusing handovers—just straightforward advice, fair pricing, and quality workmanship.
What Is Mobile Structural Welding in Manchester?
Mobile structural welding means I bring all the welding equipment, tools, consumables, and (if needed) a generator directly to your site or property. This allows me to complete welding and fabrication on-site without moving heavy or fixed metalwork. It’s ideal when structures are too large, bolted in place, or too heavy to transport.
In Manchester, many welding jobs are urgent or time-sensitive: a structural beam that must be joined before continuing construction, a security gate or armoured vehicle needing urgent repairs, or architectural metalwork requiring reinforcement. Mobile welding saves time and keeps your project moving.
- ✓ Welding at homes, workshops, yards, building sites, and industrial locations
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) welding depending on the metal and job requirements
- ✓ Perfect for fixed or heavy items that can’t be moved
- ✓ Saves time and costs compared to transporting metalwork to a workshop
- ✓ Local specialist covering Manchester & Greater Manchester
- ✓ Suitable for repairs, reinforcements, modifications, and new structural brackets
Unsure if your metalwork can be repaired or needs replacement? Send a photo. I’ll provide a realistic assessment because safety always comes first.

Why Mobile Structural Welding Matters for Manchester Customers
Transporting heavy or fixed structural metalwork to a workshop can be costly, time-consuming, or simply impossible. Mobile structural welding in Manchester solves this by repairing or fabricating steelwork directly on-site.
This approach reduces downtime, avoids expensive recovery or lifting costs, and speeds up project timelines. Builders stay on schedule, homeowners secure their properties faster, and businesses get equipment back in service promptly.
On-site welding keeps projects moving—no waiting for transport, no workshop queues, no extra handling.
Repairing in place 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 allows smarter fixes—adding reinforcing plates or modifying bracket designs to prevent future failures.

I use full personal protective equipment (PPE), keep a fire extinguisher close at hand, and manage cables and leads carefully. If conditions are unsafe (e.g., strong wind or rain outdoors), I’ll advise honestly and reschedule or find an alternative solution.

Small local call-outs often start from around £120. Larger jobs vary depending on time, access, preparation and materials. Send photos for a fast guide price.
2. What areas do you cover?
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 steel and RSJ welding?
Yes. I regularly weld beams, posts and connection plates on refurbishments and extensions, ideally following engineer details where provided.
4. Do you offer emergency or same-day 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 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 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 chassis for MOT or repair?
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.
13. Do you work evenings or weekends?
Often yes, by arrangement. Out-of-hours slots can carry a small premium depending on the job and travel.
14. Are you insured?
Yes, public liability insurance is in place for mobile structural 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.
19. Can you quote in person first?
Many jobs can be priced from photos. For larger or complicated work, a short site visit can be arranged.
