About Our Ship Welding Services in Croydon
Ship Welding Services Croydon was founded to provide expert marine welding directly at docks, shipyards, and vessels in Croydon and surrounding areas. We understand that many ship repairs cannot be moved to a workshop due to size, complexity, or cost.
Our team is experienced in working in confined shipyard spaces, alongside quays, and on vessels moored in tight berths. We focus on practical, high-quality welding that meets marine standards and keeps your vessel seaworthy and safe.
Typical Croydon marine jobs: hull plate crack repairs, deck welding, bulkhead reinforcements, shipyard structural steel fixes, marine equipment welding, and emergency on-site repairs without vessel relocation.
What Is Mobile Welding in Croydon?
Mobile welding means bringing professional welding equipment directly to your vessel, dock, or shipyard location so repairs or fabrication can be completed without moving heavy marine structures.
Our mobile ship welding service in Croydon is tailored for marine environments — whether it’s welding a hull plate, repairing deck steel, or fixing brackets and supports on board. This approach saves time, reduces costs, and avoids complex vessel movements.
- ✓ On-site welding at docks, shipyards, marinas & vessels
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding for marine-grade steels and alloys
- ✓ Ideal for heavy, fixed or awkward-to-remove ship components
- ✓ Perfect for urgent marine repairs where transport isn’t feasible
- ✓ Croydon-based coverage across South London and nearby marine areas
Awkward access is common in marine work: we plan setups to protect the vessel, control sparks, and work efficiently in confined docks and berths.

Why Mobile Ship Welding Matters for Croydon Customers
Transporting large ship components or vessels to a workshop is often impractical, expensive, or impossible. Mobile ship welding in Croydon brings expert welders directly to your vessel or dock, saving time and cost.
This approach is especially important for awkward access marine repairs — hull plates below waterline, deck areas in tight berths, or structural steelwork inside shipyards where moving the vessel is not feasible.
We weld where the vessel is moored, minimising delays and avoiding costly transport or dry-docking.
Eliminates the need for cranes, transport, or dry dock fees, often saving more than the welding cost itself.
We’re equipped to work in confined docks, shipyards, and alongside vessels in tight berths.

How Ship Welding Jobs Are Carried Out Safely
Marine welding involves heat, sparks, and fumes, so safety is paramount — especially in confined docks and on vessels. We take extra precautions with shielding, ventilation, and protecting vessel surfaces before starting work.
Our welders use full PPE, safe cable management, and controlled grinding to ensure clean, responsible work even in tight marine environments.
Marine Welding Safety Checklist
- ✓ Site risk assessment before starting work
- ✓ Fire watch and suitable fire extinguisher on hand
- ✓ Protection of vessel paintwork, glass, and equipment
- ✓ 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 marine spaces
Common issue we prevent: sparks damaging vessel paint, glass, or sensitive equipment. If you can move valuables, great — if not, we shield carefully and work in a controlled manner.
