About Our Sheet Metal Fabricator in Croydon
Sheet Metal Fabricator Croydon was founded on the principle of delivering expert sheet metal fabrication and welding directly on-site, no matter how challenging the location. Many clients come to us after being told their metalwork must be removed and taken to a workshop — but often this is costly, disruptive, or impossible.
We specialise in working in awkward access locations: behind fences, down narrow side passages, up steps, in basements, and tight courtyards. Our focus is on practical, durable fabrication and welding solutions that minimise disruption and maximise quality.
Typical Croydon projects: architectural metalwork fabrication, armoured vehicle welding, bespoke sheet metal repairs, security grille installations, and on-site metal frame adjustments in tight spaces.
What Is Mobile Sheet Metal Fabrication in Croydon?
Mobile sheet metal fabrication means bringing the fabrication tools and welding equipment directly to your site or property, so metalwork can be fabricated, repaired or modified exactly where it is installed. This is essential when metal components are fixed in place, too heavy to move, or located in areas with difficult access.
Our mobile fabrication service in Croydon is designed for real-world sites — whether that’s architectural metalwork welded on balconies, armoured vehicle panels repaired in yards, or bespoke sheet metal frames fabricated in basements or rear gardens.
- ✓ On-site fabrication at homes, commercial properties, yards & 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 and bespoke fabrication without transport delays
- ✓ Croydon-based coverage across South London and surrounding areas
Awkward access is our specialty: we plan setups carefully, protect surrounding areas, manage sparks safely, and work efficiently even in tight or restricted spaces.

Why Mobile Sheet Metal Fabrication Matters for Croydon Customers
Transporting heavy or fixed sheet metal components to a workshop can be costly, disruptive, and sometimes impossible. Mobile sheet metal fabrication in Croydon solves this by bringing the workshop to your site, allowing precise fabrication and repairs to be completed on location.
This approach is especially valuable for awkward access jobs — such as architectural metalwork fixed into buildings, armoured vehicles that cannot be moved, or bespoke sheet metal panels installed in basements or tight yards.
Fabrication and repairs happen on-site, so your project or vehicle is back in action faster.
Avoid removal, transport and workshop delays, saving time and money.
We specialise in working safely and efficiently in confined or restricted spaces.
