About Our Metal Repair And Welding Services in Croydon
Metal Repair And Welding Services Croydon is founded on the principle of delivering professional welding and metal repairs on-site, even in challenging locations. Many clients have been told their item must be taken to a workshop, but often this is costly, time-consuming, or impossible due to the size or fixed nature of the metalwork.
We specialise in awkward access welding: behind fences, down narrow side passages, up steps, in tight car parks, near buildings, and anywhere a vehicle can’t park close. Our focus is practical solutions, safe working methods, and durable welds you can trust.
Typical Croydon jobs: dropped driveway gates, broken railings in front gardens, handrails on steps, steel brackets in bin stores, on-site beam connections, trailer repairs in yards, and welding armoured vehicle parts or architectural metalwork without removal.
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 metalwork actually is. This is essential when items are fixed in place, too heavy to move, or located in awkward spots where removal is impractical or costly.
Our metal repair and welding services in Croydon are designed for real-world properties and sites — whether that’s a gate welded into brickwork, a handrail fixed into a stair frame, or damaged steel tucked behind other structures.
- ✓ On-site welding at homes, commercial yards, shops & construction sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding for mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium
- ✓ Ideal for heavy, fixed or awkward-to-remove metalwork
- ✓ Perfect for urgent 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 carefully, protect nearby surfaces, manage sparks safely and work efficiently even in tight 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 becomes the expensive part of the job. Mobile welding in Croydon keeps it simple: we come to the item, set up safely, and repair it on-site.
This is especially valuable for awkward access jobs — for example, a gate behind a wall, railings on steps with limited room, a bracket tucked into a bin store, or a steel frame at the back of a property where there’s no straight access for lifting gear.
We weld where it 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.
