About Our Boat Frame Welding Service in Croydon
Boat Frame Welding Croydon is founded on the principle of delivering expert welding directly at the vessel’s location, no matter how tricky the access. Many marine repairs require the boat to stay in place due to size, cost, or logistics.
We specialise in welding on-site at marinas, boatyards, slipways, docks, and private moorings. Our experience covers awkward access scenarios such as narrow marina berths, confined dry docks, and boats stored under sheds or in basements of marine facilities.
Typical Croydon marine jobs: cracked hull frames, damaged keel brackets, corroded marine trailers, welded supports on boat lifts, and “can you weld this without moving the boat?” requests.
What Is Mobile Welding in Croydon?
Mobile welding means bringing the welding equipment directly to the boat or marine structure so repairs or fabrication can be done on-site. This is essential when the vessel is too large, fixed, or difficult to transport safely.
Our mobile welding service in Croydon is tailored for marine environments — whether it’s a hull frame welded into a slipway cradle, a keel support repaired on a trailer, or metalwork on dockside equipment.
- ✓ On-site welding at marinas, boatyards, docks & private moorings
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding for steel, aluminium and marine alloys
- ✓ Ideal for heavy, fixed or awkward-to-remove marine metalwork
- ✓ Perfect for urgent boat frame repairs where transport isn’t possible
- ✓ Croydon-based coverage across South London and nearby marine areas
Awkward access is standard for us: we carefully plan set-up, protect surrounding surfaces, manage sparks safely, and work efficiently in tight marine spaces.

Why Mobile Welding Matters for Croydon Boat Owners
When boat frames or marine structures are heavy, fixed in place, or located in tight spaces, transporting them to a workshop is expensive and impractical. Mobile boat frame welding in Croydon simplifies this by bringing expert welding directly to the vessel.
This is especially valuable for awkward access marine jobs — such as hull frames behind dockside structures, keel brackets on trailers, or metalwork in narrow marina berths where lifting or moving the boat is not feasible.
We weld where the boat sits, so you avoid delays from transport, disassembly, or workshop scheduling.
By eliminating removals and haulage, clients often save more than the welding costs themselves.
Many marine jobs are in places unsuitable for workshop drop-offs — our mobile setup is designed for those challenges.

How Boat Frame Welding Jobs Are Carried Out Safely
Welding involves heat, sparks and fumes, so safety is paramount — especially in confined marine spaces. For awkward access jobs, we take extra care with shielding, ventilation and protecting nearby surfaces before starting.
We use proper PPE, safe cable management and controlled grinding so the job is done cleanly and responsibly, even when working under boat sheds or tight marina berths.
Marine Welding Safety Checklist
- ✓ Site risk assessment before starting work
- ✓ Fire watch and suitable fire extinguisher on hand
- ✓ Protection of boat surfaces, paintwork and nearby equipment
- ✓ Proper earthing, cables and lead management
- ✓ PPE including helmet, gloves, jacket and eye protection
- ✓ Clean-up of debris and inspection of welds afterwards
- ✓ Extra shielding for awkward access and confined marine areas
Common issue we prevent: sparks damaging gelcoat, paint, glass or marine electronics. If you can move valuables, great — if not, we’ll shield carefully and work in a controlled way.
