About Our Welding Repair Service in Manchester
Welding Repair in Manchester is a practical, down-to-earth mobile welding service built around one simple idea: you shouldn’t have to transport heavy or fixed metalwork across town to get it repaired. I come to your location, set up safely, and weld it where it stands—whether that's a driveway, yard, workshop, construction site, or back garden.
Over the years, I’ve worked on a wide range of projects from small domestic welding repairs (gates, railings, frames, brackets) to site steelwork and light industrial welding 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 to you.
Customers appreciate dealing directly with the person doing the work. No call centres, no confusing handovers—just straightforward advice, fair pricing, and tidy, professional work.
What Is Mobile Welding in Manchester?
Mobile welding means the welding specialist comes to your location. I bring the welding equipment, tools, leads, consumables, and if necessary, a generator—so the job can be completed on-site. This is ideal when the metalwork is too large, too heavy, bolted in place, or inconvenient to transport.
In Manchester, many welding repair call-outs are urgent: a gate that won’t close, a railing that’s unsafe, a bracket snapped on a trailer, or steelwork that must be joined before construction can continue. On-site welding avoids delays and keeps your project or equipment moving.
- ✓ Welding at homes, workshops, yards, and building sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) welding available depending on the job
- ✓ Perfect for fixed or heavy items that can’t be moved
- ✓ Saves time and costs versus transporting to a workshop
- ✓ Local mobile welding repair covering Manchester & Greater Manchester
- ✓ Useful for repairs, reinforcement, modifications and new brackets
Unsure if your metalwork can be repaired or should be replaced? Send a photo. I’ll provide a realistic assessment—because safety is always the priority.

Why Mobile Welding Repair Matters for Manchester Customers
Taking metalwork to a workshop might seem straightforward—until you face a heavy gate, a fixed railing, a steel beam already installed, or a trailer that can’t be safely towed. Mobile welding repair in Manchester solves this by fixing it exactly where it sits.
This means less downtime, fewer recovery costs, and faster repairs. Builders can keep projects on schedule. Homeowners can secure their property quickly. Businesses can get equipment back into service without unnecessary delays.
On-site welding keeps projects moving—no waiting for transport, no workshop queues, no extra handling.
Repairing 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 job in place often allows smarter fixes—adding reinforcing plates or changing bracket designs to prevent repeat failures.

Sometimes, yes (depending on availability). 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 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, move flammables, and ensure there’s space to park nearby. If it’s in a back garden or tight access, please tell me in advance.
12. How long will you be on site?
Small repairs can be under an hour. Gate or structural 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 or 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 or 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.
