Why Mobile Welding Matters for Manchester Customers
Taking your car boot or vehicle panels to a workshop can be inconvenient and costly—especially if the parts are heavy, fixed, or difficult to remove. Mobile welding in Manchester saves you the hassle by repairing your car boot on-site, wherever your vehicle is parked.
This means less downtime, fewer transport costs, and faster repairs. For vehicle owners, it means your car is back in action quickly. For garages and traders, it means efficient service without disrupting your workflow.
On-site welding keeps your vehicle available—no waiting for transport or workshop availability.
Repairing at your location saves on removal labour, transport, and workshop fees—especially for bulky or awkward parts.
Evenings and weekends can be arranged when possible, ideal for busy households and businesses.
Seeing the vehicle in place allows smarter fixes—adding reinforcements or redesigning brackets to prevent future issues.

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 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 around the vehicle, move flammables, and ensure there’s space to park nearby. If it’s in a tight garage or yard, tell me in advance.

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.
