What Is Truck Body Welding in Manchester?
Truck body welding means the welding professional comes directly to your truck or trailer.

Primarily mild/structural steel used in truck bodies and trailers. Stainless and aluminium may be possible depending on job and conditions—send a photo for advice.

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

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

Yes—small plates, flat bar and brackets can often be supplied as part of the repair. Larger steel may need ordering in advance.

Clear the area around the truck or trailer, remove flammables, and ensure parking or access space is available. Let me know if access is tight.
