About Our Hitch Welding Service in Croydon
Hitch Welding Croydon is founded on the principle of delivering expert welding on-site, even when the job is in a difficult or confined location. Many clients have been told their hitch or trailer must be taken to a workshop — but often, removal is costly, inconvenient, or simply impossible.
We specialise in welding hitches, trailers, armoured vehicle mounts, and architectural metalwork in locations with awkward access: behind fences, down narrow passages, up steps, or inside tight yards. Our approach focuses on practical solutions, safety, and strong welds that last.
Typical Croydon jobs: trailer hitch repairs, armoured vehicle welds, dropped trailer tow bars, architectural metalwork on-site, bracket welding behind fences, and “can you weld this without removal?” situations.
What Is Mobile Welding in Croydon?
Mobile welding means bringing the welding equipment directly to your location so repairs or fabrications can be done where the metal actually is. This is essential when hitches, trailers, or architectural metalwork are fixed in place, heavy, or in awkward spots that make removal impractical or impossible.
Our mobile welding service in Croydon is tailored for real-world sites — whether it’s a trailer hitch welded into a vehicle frame, an armoured vehicle weld repair, or a decorative metal bracket fixed to a building.
- ✓ On-site welding at homes, yards, commercial sites & construction areas
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding for most steels and alloys
- ✓ Ideal for heavy, fixed or awkward-to-remove metalwork
- ✓ Perfect for urgent hitch repairs where transport isn’t possible
- ✓ Croydon-based coverage across South London and nearby areas
Awkward access is our speciality: we plan the set-up, protect nearby areas, manage sparks safely and work efficiently even when space is limited.

Why Mobile Hitch Welding Matters for Croydon Customers
When hitches, trailers or metal components are heavy, fixed in place, or located in tight spots, transporting them to a workshop becomes costly and time-consuming. Mobile hitch welding in Croydon keeps it simple: we come to your location, set up safely, and repair or fabricate on-site.
This is especially valuable for awkward access jobs — like a trailer hitch behind a wall, armoured vehicle welds in confined yards, or brackets tucked into narrow service alleys.
We weld where the hitch or metalwork 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.

How Hitch Welding Jobs Are Carried Out Safely
Welding involves heat, sparks and fumes, so safety comes first — particularly in tight spaces. For awkward access jobs, we take extra care with shielding, ventilation and protecting nearby surfaces before starting.
We work with proper PPE, safe cable management and controlled grinding so the job is done cleanly and responsibly, even when the work area is cramped.
Mobile 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 you can move valuables, great — if not, we’ll shield carefully and work in a controlled way.
