About Our Steel Post Welding Service in Croydon
Steel Post Welding Croydon is founded on the principle of delivering professional on-site welding solutions even in the most challenging locations. Many clients come to us after being told their steel posts must be removed and taken to a workshop — but often this is costly, disruptive, or simply impossible.
We specialise in welding steel posts in awkward access locations: behind fences, down narrow side passages, up steps, in basements, and in tight yards. Our focus is on practical, safe welding that lasts, with minimal disruption to your property.
Common Croydon steel post jobs: bent or dropped security posts, broken architectural steel posts in gardens, loose fence posts, steel support post repairs in basements, and “can you weld this post without removing it?” situations.
What Is Mobile Welding in Croydon?
Mobile welding means bringing the welding equipment directly to your property so repairs or fabrications can be completed where the steel post is fixed. This is essential when the post is too heavy to move, welded into brickwork, or located in a tight or awkward spot.
Our mobile welding service in Croydon is tailored for real-world sites — where steel posts are built into structures, tucked behind fences, or located in basements and narrow alleys.
- ✓ On-site welding at homes, commercial properties, yards & construction sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding for steel posts and related alloys
- ✓ Ideal for heavy, fixed or awkward-to-remove steel posts
- ✓ Perfect for urgent repairs where transport isn’t feasible
- ✓ Croydon-based coverage across South London and nearby areas
Awkward access is our speciality: we carefully plan set-up, protect surrounding areas, manage sparks safely and work efficiently even in tight spaces.

Why Mobile Steel Post Welding Matters for Croydon Customers
When steel posts are heavy, fixed in place, or located in tight spots, transporting them to a workshop can be costly and disruptive. Mobile steel post welding in Croydon simplifies this by bringing the welding service directly to your site, welding the post in place safely and efficiently.
This is especially important for awkward access steel post jobs — such as posts behind walls, in basements, narrow alleys, or areas with no straight access for lifting equipment.
We weld steel posts where they stand, avoiding delays from transport, disassembly or workshop lead times.
By eliminating removals and recovery vehicles, many customers save more than the welding cost itself.
We specialise in welding steel posts in locations that are difficult or impossible for workshop drop-offs.
