24/7 On-Site Boat Propeller Welding Across Croydon & South London From £120
Need expert boat propeller welding in Croydon and the repair is in a tight marina berth or slipway? That’s our speciality.

We arrive fully equipped with MIG, TIG, and stick (MMA) welding tools, cutting and grinding equipment, ready for on-site preparation and repairs. Whether it’s a cracked propeller blade, damaged shaft, rudder bracket, or hull fitting that needs welding in place, we deliver expert repairs without disrupting your vessel or surroundings.

About Our Boat Propeller Welding Service in Croydon
Boat Propeller Welding Croydon was founded on the principle of delivering expert marine welding on-site, even when access is challenging. Many boat owners and marina managers are told their propellers or shafts must be removed and taken to a workshop — but this can be costly, time-consuming and risky.
We specialise in welding directly on vessels in docks, marinas, slipways, and boatyards where space is limited. Our team is experienced with awkward access: tight berths, limited crane availability, and working around other vessels and dock infrastructure. Our focus is on practical solutions, safety, and durable welds you can trust.
Common Croydon marine jobs: cracked propeller blades, rudder bracket breaks, shaft weld repairs, hull fitting reinforcement, on-site shaft alignments, and “can you weld this without dry-docking?” requests.
What Is Mobile Welding in Croydon?
Mobile welding means bringing the welding equipment directly to your boat’s location so repairs or fabrication can be done where the metalwork actually is. This is crucial when propellers, shafts or rudders are fixed in place, heavy, or located in tight docks or marinas where removal is difficult or costly.
Our mobile welding service in Croydon is tailored for marine environments — whether on slipways, inside boatyards, or dockside berths. We weld propellers, shafts, rudders, brackets and hull fittings with precision and care, minimising downtime and avoiding the need for costly dry-docking.
- ✓ On-site welding at marinas, docks, slipways & boatyards
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding for marine-grade steels and alloys
- ✓ Ideal for heavy, fixed or awkward-to-remove boat components
- ✓ Perfect for urgent repairs where transport isn’t possible
- ✓ Croydon-based coverage across South London and nearby marine areas
Awkward access is normal for us: we plan set-up carefully, protect sensitive boat surfaces, manage sparks safely and work efficiently even in cramped marina berths.

Why Mobile Welding Matters for Croydon Boat Owners
When propellers, shafts or rudders are heavy, fixed in place, or located in tight marina berths, transporting them to a workshop can be costly, time-consuming and risky. Mobile welding in Croydon simplifies the process: we come to your boat, set up safely, and perform repairs on-site.
This is especially valuable for awkward access marine jobs — for example, a cracked propeller blade in a narrow dock, rudder bracket damage on a vessel in a marina berth, or shaft welds on a boat on a slipway where removal would be difficult.
We weld where the boat sits, so you avoid delays for transport, dry-docking or workshop lead times.
By avoiding removals and crane hire, customers often save more than the welding itself costs.
Many of our jobs are in places that are a nightmare for workshop drop-offs — we’re set up for those.

Welding involves heat, sparks and fumes, so safety is paramount — especially when working near boats, fuel tanks and sensitive marine equipment. For awkward access jobs, we take extra care with shielding, ventilation and protecting boat surfaces before starting.
We use appropriate PPE, safe cable management and controlled grinding to ensure the job is done cleanly and responsibly, even in tight marina berths or boatyards.
Marine Welding Safety Checklist
- ✓ Site risk assessment before starting work
- ✓ Fire watch and suitable marine-grade fire extinguisher on hand
