About Our Heavy Steel Welding Service in Croydon
Heavy Steel Welding Croydon is founded on delivering expert on-site welding for heavy steelwork, including armoured vehicles, architectural steel, and industrial repairs. We understand that many heavy steel components cannot be moved easily without costly dismantling or downtime.
We specialise in welding in awkward access locations: behind fences, down side passages, up steps, in tight yards, and near buildings where vehicle access is limited. Our focus is on practical solutions, safety, and durable welds you can trust.
Typical Croydon jobs: armoured vehicle chassis repairs, architectural steel frame welding, dropped driveway gates, broken railings, handrails on steps, steel brackets in bin stores, on-site beam connections, and heavy steel repairs where removal is impractical.
What Is Mobile Welding in Croydon?
Mobile welding means bringing the welding equipment directly to your site so repairs or fabrications can be done where the heavy steel actually is. This is essential when the metalwork is fixed in place, too heavy to move, or access is too restricted for safe removal.
Our mobile heavy steel welding service in Croydon is tailored for real-world challenges β welding armoured vehicle frames, architectural steel, and industrial steelwork in tight or awkward locations.
- β On-site welding at homes, commercial sites, yards & construction projects
- β MIG, TIG and stick welding for most heavy steel and alloys
- β Ideal for heavy, fixed or awkward-to-remove metalwork
- β Perfect for urgent repairs where transport isnβt feasible
- β Croydon-based coverage across South London and nearby areas
Awkward access is our speciality: we carefully plan set-up, protect nearby surfaces, control sparks, and work efficiently even in tight spaces.

Why Heavy Steel Mobile Welding Matters for Croydon Customers
When heavy steelwork is fixed in place or located in tight spots, transporting it to a workshop can be costly and disruptive. Heavy steel mobile welding in Croydon simplifies this by bringing the welding to your site, allowing repairs and fabrications to be done on location.
This is especially valuable for awkward access jobs β such as armoured vehicle chassis welded into frames, architectural steel behind walls, or structural steel in basements and narrow alleys where lifting gear cannot be used.
We weld where the steel sits, avoiding delays caused by transport, disassembly, or workshop scheduling.
By eliminating removals and recovery vehicles, customers save significantly on overall repair costs.
Many jobs are in locations unsuitable for workshop drop-offs β we specialise in these challenging environments.
