24/7 Auto Body Welding Across Croydon & South London From £120
Need a reliable auto body welder in Croydon and the vehicle or metalwork is in a difficult-to-reach spot? That’s our speciality. We focus on awkward access vehicle welding – tight driveways, rear gardens, basements, narrow alleys, restricted yards, and locations where transporting the vehicle or item to a workshop isn’t feasible.
We arrive equipped with professional MIG, TIG, and stick (MMA) welding gear, cutting tools, grinders, and on-site preparation equipment. Whether it’s chassis repairs, armoured vehicle welding, architectural metalwork, or trailer frame fixes, we deliver strong, clean welds without turning your property into a construction zone.

About Our Auto Body Welder in Croydon
Auto Body Welder Croydon is founded on the principle of delivering expert welding services directly on-site, even when vehicles or metalwork are in challenging locations. Many clients contact us after being told their vehicle must be taken to a workshop – but often removal is costly, time-consuming, or impossible.
We specialise in welding vehicles and metalwork in awkward spots: behind fences, down narrow side passages, in basements, tight car parks, or yards with limited access. Our focus is practical solutions, safety, and durable welds you can trust.
Typical Croydon jobs: chassis cracks, armoured vehicle panel welding, trailer frame repairs, bent gate hinges, metal brackets in tight spaces, and “can you weld this without moving it?” scenarios.
What Is Mobile Welding in Croydon?
Mobile welding means bringing professional welding equipment directly to your vehicle or site, allowing repairs or fabrication to be done where the metalwork actually is. This is essential when vehicles are too heavy to move or access is restricted.
Our mobile welding service in Croydon is designed for real-world vehicle and metalwork challenges — whether it’s an armoured vehicle panel, a trailer frame, or a damaged chassis section located in a tight yard or garage.
- ✓ On-site welding at homes, commercial yards, garages & construction sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding for most vehicle steels and alloys
- ✓ Ideal for heavy, fixed or awkward-to-remove vehicle parts
- ✓ Perfect for urgent repairs where transport isn’t possible
- ✓ Croydon-based coverage across South London and nearby areas
Awkward access is normal for us: we carefully plan set-up, protect nearby surfaces, manage sparks safely and work efficiently even in cramped spaces.

Why Mobile Welding Matters for Croydon Vehicle Owners
When vehicles or metalwork are heavy, fixed in place, or located in tight spots, transporting them to a workshop can be costly and time-consuming. Mobile welding in Croydon simplifies the process by bringing expert welding directly to your vehicle or site.
This approach is especially beneficial for awkward access jobs — such as armoured vehicles with fixed panels, trailers in yards with no vehicle access, or chassis repairs inside garages with limited space.
We weld where the vehicle or metalwork is, so you avoid waiting for transport or workshop availability.
By eliminating removals and transport costs, customers often save significantly on overall repair expenses.
Many jobs are in locations unsuitable for workshop drop-offs — we are equipped and experienced for these challenges.

How Auto Body Welding Jobs Are Carried Out Safely
Welding involves heat, sparks and fumes, so safety is paramount — particularly in tight spaces. For awkward access jobs, we take extra care with shielding, ventilation and protecting nearby surfaces before starting.
We use appropriate PPE, safe cable management and controlled grinding so the job is completed cleanly and responsibly, even when the work area is cramped.
Mobile Welding Safety Checklist
- ✓ Site risk assessment before starting work
- ✓ Fire watch and suitable fire extinguisher on hand
- ✓ Protection of glass, paintwork and nearby vehicles
