About Our Custom Metal Welding Service in Croydon
Custom Metal Welding Croydon is built on the principle of delivering expert welding and fabrication directly on-site, even when the work is in challenging locations. Many clients have been told their metalwork "must be taken to a workshop," but often this is impractical or costly.
We specialise in awkward access welding: behind fences, down narrow side passages, up steps, in basements, and other tight spaces where vehicle access is limited. Our focus is on practical solutions, safety, and strong, lasting welds you can trust.
Typical Croydon jobs: armoured vehicle welding, bespoke architectural metalwork, dropped driveway gates, broken railings, stair handrails, steel brackets in bin stores, trailer repairs, and “can you weld this without removal?” scenarios.
What Is Mobile Welding in Croydon?
Mobile welding means bringing the welding equipment directly to your location, allowing repairs or fabrication to be done where the metalwork actually is. This is essential when the item is fixed in place, too heavy to move, or access is too restricted for safe removal.
Our custom metal welding service in Croydon is designed for real-world sites — where gates are welded into brickwork, handrails are fixed into stair frames, or damaged sections are tucked away behind other structures.
- ✓ On-site welding at homes, commercial properties, yards & construction sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding for mild steel, stainless, aluminium and alloys
- ✓ Ideal for bespoke architectural metalwork and armoured vehicle repairs
- ✓ Perfect for urgent, fixed or awkward-to-remove metalwork
- ✓ Croydon-based coverage across South London and surrounding areas
Awkward access is our speciality: we carefully plan set-up, protect nearby surfaces, control sparks and heat, and work efficiently in confined spaces.

Why Mobile Welding Matters for Croydon Customers
When metalwork is heavy, fixed in place, or located in a tight spot, transporting it to a workshop can be costly and time-consuming. Custom metal welding in Croydon simplifies this by bringing the welding service to your location, enabling on-site repairs and fabrication.
This approach is especially valuable for awkward access jobs — such as gates welded into brickwork, railings on narrow steps, brackets tucked behind bins, or steel frames at the rear of properties with no straightforward lifting access.
We weld where the metalwork sits, avoiding delays caused by transport, disassembly or workshop scheduling.
By eliminating removals and recovery vehicle costs, customers often save significantly on the overall repair.
Many of our jobs are in locations unsuitable for workshop drop-offs — we’re equipped and experienced to handle these challenges.

Typical Job Timeline
When Is Custom Metal Welding Needed in Croydon?
🏗️ Building & Renovation Work
When beams, posts or frames need welding on-site and the steel is already installed in a restricted spot.
🚪 Dropped Gates & Bent Hinges
When gates are welded into brickwork and removal would require dismantling — we repair them where they stand.
🚚 Armoured Vehicle, Trailer & Yard Repairs
When specialised equipment or vehicles are stuck in yards or have limited transport options — we weld on-site to minimise downtime.
🏭 Industrial & Service Areas

🏘️ Landlords & Managing Agents
Fast repairs to communal railings, stair handrails and gates when safety is a priority.
⚡ Emergency & Safety Repairs
Urgent welding when broken metalwork is unsafe or stopping work progress — especially where access is difficult.
How Custom Metal Welding Jobs Are Carried Out Safely
Welding involves heat, sparks and fumes, so safety is paramount — particularly in confined spaces. For awkward access jobs, we take extra precautions with shielding, ventilation and protecting surrounding surfaces before starting.
We use appropriate PPE, safe cable management and controlled grinding to ensure the job is completed cleanly and responsibly, even in cramped or sensitive environments.
Custom Metal Welding Safety Checklist
- ✓ Site risk assessment before starting work
- ✓ Fire watch and suitable fire extinguisher on hand
- ✓ Protection of glass, paintwork and nearby vehicles
- ✓ 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 areas
Common issue we prevent: sparks damaging nearby paint, glass or vehicles. If valuables can be moved, great — if not, we shield carefully and work in a controlled manner.
