About Our Gate Latch Welding Service in Croydon
Gate Latch Welding Croydon is built around a simple idea: deliver expert gate latch and metalwork welding on-site, even when the job is in a tricky or awkward spot. Many customers contact us after being told “the gate needs to come off” – but often the gate is fixed into brickwork or heavy frames that can’t be moved without costly dismantling or downtime.
We specialise in awkward access: behind fences, down narrow side passages, up steps, in tight car parks, near buildings, and anywhere a vehicle can’t get close. Our focus is practical problem-solving, safe working and strong welds you can rely on for your gates and latches.
Common Croydon jobs: dropped or broken gate latches, bent hinges, loose handrails on steps, steel brackets in bin stores, on-site gate frame repairs, and “can you weld this without removing it?” situations.
What Is Mobile Welding in Croydon?
Mobile welding means bringing the welding equipment directly to your location so repairs or fabrication can be done where the metalwork actually is. This is essential when the gate latch or frame is fixed in place, too heavy to lift, or the access is too awkward to safely remove it.
Our mobile welding service in Croydon is designed for real properties and real sites — the kind where a gate latch is welded into brickwork, a hinge is fixed to a stair frame, or the damaged metalwork is tucked behind other structures.
- ✓ On-site welding at homes, shops, yards & construction sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding for most steels and alloys
- ✓ Ideal for heavy, fixed or awkward-to-remove gate metalwork
- ✓ Perfect for urgent gate latch repairs where transport isn’t possible
- ✓ Croydon-based coverage across South London and nearby areas
Awkward access is normal for us: we plan the set-up, protect nearby areas, manage sparks safely and work efficiently even when space is limited.

Why Mobile Welding Matters for Croydon Gate Latch Repairs
When gate latches or hinges are fixed in place or located in tight spots, transporting them to a workshop can be costly and impractical. Mobile welding in Croydon simplifies this by bringing the welding service directly to your gate, allowing repairs to be done on-site quickly and safely.
This is especially valuable for awkward access jobs — such as a gate latch behind a wall, hinges on steps with limited room, a bracket tucked into a bin store, or a gate frame at the back of a property with no straight access for lifting gear.
We weld where the gate sits, so you’re not waiting on transport, disassembly or workshop lead times.
By avoiding removals and recovery vehicles, 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.
