  • ✓ On-site welding at homes, commercial properties, heritage sites & industrial yards
  • ✓ Specialist cast iron welding rods and techniques

Welding cast iron involves heat, sparks and fumes, so safety is paramount — especially in tight or heritage-sensitive spaces. We conduct site risk assessments, use proper PPE, and protect surrounding surfaces before starting.

We manage cable safety, ventilation, and fire watch carefully, and clean up debris thoroughly. For cast iron, we also control preheating and cooling to avoid thermal shock and cracking.

Cast Iron Welding Safety Checklist

  • ✓ Site risk assessment before work begins
  • ✓ Fire watch and suitable fire extinguisher on hand
  • ✓ Protection of glass, paintwork, and delicate surfaces
  • ✓ Proper earthing, cables and lead management
  • ✓ PPE including helmet, gloves, jacket and eye protection
  • ✓ Controlled preheating and slow cooling of cast iron
  • ✓ Clean-up of debris and inspection of welds afterwards
  • ✓ Extra shielding for awkward access and confined areas

Common issue we prevent: thermal cracking due to rapid cooling. We manage heat carefully and protect nearby paint, glass or vehicles from sparks.
