About Our Custom Metal Repairs Service in Croydon
Custom Metal Repairs Croydon is founded on delivering expert, on-site metal repairs and fabrication where it matters most — even in the most awkward locations. Many clients come to us after being told their metalwork must be removed and taken to a workshop, which can be costly or impossible.
We specialise in working in tight, restricted, or difficult-to-access areas such as rear gardens, basements, narrow alleys, and busy commercial sites. Whether it's armoured vehicle welding, architectural metalwork restoration, or bespoke security metal repairs, we focus on practical, durable solutions without disrupting your property or site.
Typical Croydon jobs: armoured vehicle weld repairs, bespoke metal gates, architectural railings, trailer frames, stair handrails, steel brackets in bin stores, and repairs where removal is not feasible.
What Is Custom Metal Repair & On-Site Welding in Croydon?
Custom metal repair means bringing skilled welding and fabrication directly to your location, so repairs or bespoke metalwork can be completed where the item is fixed or too heavy to move. This is essential for armoured vehicles, architectural metalwork, gates, railings, trailers, and structural steelwork that cannot be transported easily.
Our on-site metal repair service in Croydon is tailored for real-world challenges — from metalwork welded into brickwork to heavy steel beams installed in tight spaces. We adapt our approach to each job, ensuring quality and safety without unnecessary disruption.
- ✓ On-site welding and fabrication at homes, businesses, and construction sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding for a wide range of steels and alloys
- ✓ Ideal for heavy, fixed or awkward-to-remove metalwork
- ✓ Perfect for urgent repairs where transport isn’t possible
- ✓ Croydon-based coverage across South London and nearby areas
Awkward access is our speciality: we plan setups carefully, protect surrounding areas, manage sparks safely, and work efficiently even in cramped conditions.

Why Custom Metal Repairs Matter for Croydon Customers
When metalwork is heavy, fixed in place, or located in a tight spot, transporting it to a workshop becomes the costly and complicated part of the job. Custom metal repairs in Croydon simplify this by bringing skilled welding and fabrication to your site, ensuring repairs are completed efficiently and safely on location.
This approach is especially valuable for awkward access repairs — such as armoured vehicle welds, architectural metalwork fixed into brickwork, railings on steps, or steel frames located behind fences or in basements.
We repair metalwork where it sits, eliminating delays caused by transport, disassembly or workshop lead times.
By avoiding removals and recovery vehicles, customers often save more than the cost of the repair itself.
Many of our jobs are in locations unsuitable for workshop drop-offs — our mobile setup is designed for these challenges.

How Custom Metal Repairs Are Carried Out Safely
Welding involves heat, sparks and fumes, so safety is paramount — especially in tight spaces. For awkward access jobs, we take extra precautions with shielding, ventilation and protecting nearby surfaces before starting.
We use full PPE, manage cables safely, and control grinding dust to ensure the work is done cleanly and responsibly, even in confined areas.
Custom Metal Repair Safety Checklist
- ✓ Site risk assessment before work begins
- ✓ Fire watch and suitable fire extinguishers on hand
- ✓ Protection of glass, paintwork and nearby vehicles
