About Our Shop Welding Service in Croydon
Shop Welding Croydon is founded on delivering expert welding and metal fabrication both in our workshop and on-site, tailored to the needs of Croydon’s diverse properties and businesses. We understand that many metalwork items are fixed, heavy, or located in challenging spots where removal is costly or impractical.
Our experienced welders specialise in armoured vehicle welding, architectural steelwork, and bespoke metal repairs, working in tight rear gardens, narrow alleys, basements, and other restricted areas. We focus on practical, durable solutions with minimal disruption.
Typical Croydon projects: armoured vehicle chassis repairs, architectural steel fabrication, dropped gates, broken railings, handrails on steps, steel brackets in bin stores, on-site beam welding, and “can you weld this without removing it?” challenges.
What Is Mobile Welding in Croydon?
Mobile welding means bringing professional welding equipment directly to your location, allowing us to repair or fabricate metalwork where it is fixed or difficult to move. This is essential for armoured vehicles, architectural steel, and other heavy or awkward items that cannot be transported easily.
Our shop welding service in Croydon combines workshop fabrication with mobile welding capabilities, ensuring we can handle jobs from intricate metalwork to large structural repairs, even in tight or restricted spaces.
- ✓ On-site welding at homes, commercial shops, yards & construction sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding for mild steel, stainless, aluminium & alloys
- ✓ Ideal for heavy, fixed or awkward-to-remove metalwork including armoured vehicles
- ✓ Perfect for urgent repairs and bespoke fabrication where transport isn’t possible
- ✓ Croydon-based coverage across South London and nearby areas
Awkward access is our speciality: we plan setups carefully, protect surrounding areas, manage sparks safely, and work efficiently even when space is limited.

Why Shop Welding Matters for Croydon Customers
When metalwork is fixed, heavy, or located in tight spaces, transporting it to a workshop can be costly and disruptive. Shop welding in Croydon offers a flexible solution by combining workshop fabrication with mobile welding, allowing us to repair or fabricate metalwork on-site or in our fully equipped workshop.
This approach is especially valuable for awkward access jobs such as armoured vehicle repairs, architectural steel installations, or metalwork tucked behind walls or in basements where removal is impractical.
We weld where the metalwork sits or bring it to our workshop, reducing delays and transport costs.
By avoiding unnecessary removals and transport, customers save money and time.
We specialise in welding in tight or restricted areas where traditional workshop drop-offs are impossible.
