About Our Light Steel Welding Service in Croydon
Light Steel Welding Croydon is founded on the principle of delivering expert welding on-site, even when the job is in a challenging location. Many clients are told their steelwork must be taken to a workshop, but often this is impractical or costly for armoured vehicles, architectural steel, or fixed installations.
We specialise in welding in awkward access conditions: behind fences, down narrow side alleys, up steps, inside basements, or in tight commercial yards. Our approach is practical, safe, and focused on strong, lasting welds.
Typical Croydon projects: armoured vehicle panel repairs, architectural steel frames, dropped gates, handrails on staircases, steel brackets in bin stores, on-site beam welding, trailer chassis repairs, and “weld without removal” challenges.
What Is Mobile Welding in Croydon?
Mobile welding means bringing professional welding equipment directly to your location, allowing repairs or fabrication to be done where the steel is fixed or too heavy to move. This is essential for armoured vehicle panels, architectural steelwork, and other light steel components that cannot be easily transported.
Our light steel welding service in Croydon is tailored for real-world sites — from residential rear gardens and commercial yards to construction sites and industrial areas where access is limited.
- ✓ On-site welding at homes, businesses, yards & construction sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding for light steel and alloys
- ✓ Perfect for heavy, fixed or awkward-to-remove metalwork
- ✓ Ideal for urgent repairs where transport isn’t feasible
- ✓ Serving Croydon and surrounding South London areas
Awkward access is our specialty: we plan setups carefully, protect nearby surfaces, manage sparks safely, and work efficiently in confined spaces.

Why Mobile Welding Matters for Croydon Customers
When steelwork is heavy, fixed in place, or located in a tight spot, transporting it to a workshop can be costly and time-consuming. Mobile welding in Croydon simplifies this by bringing the welding service to the item, setting up safely, and completing repairs on-site.
This approach is especially beneficial for awkward access jobs such as armoured vehicle panels welded into frames, railings on staircases, brackets hidden behind bin stores, or steel structures at the back of properties with no direct lifting access.
We weld where the steel is, reducing wait times for transport, disassembly, or workshop availability.
Avoiding removals and recovery vehicles often saves more than the welding cost itself.
We specialise in jobs that are difficult or impossible to drop off at a workshop.
