About Our Steel Welding Service in Croydon
Steel Welding Croydon is founded on delivering professional on-site steel welding, even in difficult-to-reach locations. Many clients have been told their steelwork needs to be removed and taken to a workshop, but often this is costly or impractical.
We specialise in welding steelwork where it’s fixed in place — whether that’s architectural steel frames, armoured vehicle chassis, or structural beams in tight spaces. Our experience covers awkward access behind fences, down narrow alleys, up steps, and inside basements or busy commercial yards.
Typical Croydon jobs: architectural steel repairs, armoured vehicle chassis welding, dropped gates, broken railings, handrails on staircases, steel brackets in bin stores, on-site beam connections, and trailer repairs in yards.
What Is Mobile Welding in Croydon?
Mobile welding means bringing our welding equipment directly to your location, allowing repairs or fabrication to be completed where the steel is fixed. This is essential when steelwork is heavy, permanently installed, or access is too restricted to remove it safely.
Our steel welding service in Croydon is tailored for real-world sites — whether that’s a gate welded into brickwork, a handrail fixed in a stairwell, or an armoured vehicle chassis needing urgent repair in a yard.
- ✓ On-site welding at homes, commercial properties, yards & construction sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding for mild steel, stainless, and some alloys
- ✓ Ideal for heavy, fixed or awkward-to-remove steelwork
- ✓ Perfect for urgent repairs where transport isn’t feasible
- ✓ Croydon-based coverage across South London and surrounding areas
Awkward access is our speciality: we carefully plan set-up, protect nearby surfaces, manage sparks safely, and work efficiently even in tight spaces.

Why Mobile Steel Welding Matters for Croydon Customers
When steelwork is heavy, fixed in place, or located in a confined spot, transporting it to a workshop can be costly and time-consuming. Mobile steel welding in Croydon simplifies the process: we come to your site, set up safely, and repair or fabricate on location.
This approach is especially valuable for awkward access jobs — such as gates behind walls, railings on staircases, brackets in bin stores, or steel frames at the back of properties without direct lifting access.
We weld where the steel is, eliminating delays from transport, disassembly, or workshop lead times.
Avoiding removals and recovery vehicles often saves more than the welding cost itself.
Many jobs involve locations unsuitable for workshop drop-offs — we specialise in these challenges.

🏗️ Building & Renovation Work

How Steel Welding Jobs Are Carried Out Safely
Welding involves heat, sparks and fumes, so safety is paramount — especially in confined spaces. For awkward access jobs, we take extra precautions with shielding, ventilation and protecting nearby surfaces before starting.
We use full PPE, safe cable management and controlled grinding to ensure the job is done cleanly and responsibly, even when working in cramped conditions.
Steel Welding Safety Checklist
- ✓ Site risk assessment before work begins
- ✓ Fire watch and suitable fire extinguisher on site
- ✓ Protection of glass, paintwork and nearby vehicles
- ✓ Proper earthing, cable and lead management
