Equipped with MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) welding gear suited for marine metals, we handle hull patching, bracket repairs, metal fabrication, and structural welding directly on your boat or marine structure.

About Our Boat Welder in Croydon
Boat Welder Croydon is dedicated to delivering expert on-site marine welding services across Croydon and surrounding South London waterside areas. We understand that boats and marine structures often cannot be easily transported to workshops, so we bring the welding expertise directly to your vessel or dockside location.
Our team is highly experienced in working in challenging environments such as marina berths, slipways, and confined docks. We specialise in welding steel and aluminium boat hulls, frames, and fittings, ensuring durable repairs that stand up to marine conditions.
Common Croydon marine jobs: hull plate patching, aluminium railing repairs, pontoon bracket welding, boat trailer frame fixes, and “can you weld this on the boat?” situations in marinas and docks.
What Is Mobile Welding in Croydon?
Mobile welding means bringing the welding equipment directly to your boat, marina berth, or dockside location to carry out repairs or fabrication. This is essential when the vessel is too large, heavy, or awkward to move, or when access to a workshop is not feasible.
Our mobile welding service in Croydon is tailored for marine environments — whether it’s patching a steel hull, repairing aluminium fittings, or welding structural supports on pontoons and gangways.
- ✓ On-site welding at marinas, boatyards, slipways & docks
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding for steel and aluminium marine metals
- ✓ Ideal for hull repairs, frames, brackets and fittings
- ✓ Perfect for urgent marine repairs where transport isn’t possible
- ✓ Croydon-based coverage across South London waterside areas and nearby
Awkward access is normal for us: we plan the set-up carefully, protect surrounding surfaces, manage sparks and fumes safely, and work efficiently even in tight marina berths or docks.

Why Mobile Welding Matters for Croydon Boat Owners
Transporting boats or marine structures to workshops can be costly, risky and time-consuming. Mobile welding in Croydon simplifies repairs by bringing expert welding directly to your vessel, wherever it is moored or docked.
This is especially valuable for awkward access marine jobs — such as hull repairs on boats in tight marina berths, aluminium railing fixes on pontoons, or welding brackets on slipway equipment where moving the item is impractical.
We weld where your boat sits, so you avoid costly transport delays and downtime.
By avoiding removals and haulage, you often save more than the welding itself costs.
Many marine jobs are in tight spaces or awkward berths — we’re fully equipped to work safely in these conditions.

How Mobile Marine Welding Jobs Are Carried Out Safely
Welding near water involves heat, sparks and fumes, so safety is paramount. For awkward marine access jobs, we take extra care with shielding, ventilation and protecting nearby surfaces before starting.
We work with proper PPE, safe cable management and controlled grinding so the job is done cleanly and responsibly, even when working on docks, pontoons or vessel decks.
Mobile 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 or sensitive equipment. If you can move valuables, great — if not, we’ll shield carefully and work in a controlled way.
