About Our VW Welding Service in Croydon
VW Welding Croydon is founded on the principle of delivering expert welding on-site, even when the job is in a difficult or awkward location. Many clients have been told their armoured vehicle or architectural steelwork must be removed and taken to a workshop, but this is often impractical or costly.
We specialise in welding in tight spaces — behind fences, down narrow side passages, up steps, in cramped basements, and other restricted areas around Croydon. Our focus is on practical, safe, and reliable welding that stands the test of time.
Typical Croydon jobs: armoured vehicle chassis repairs, architectural steel frame welding, dropped driveway gates, broken railings, handrails on steps, steel brackets in bin stores, on-site beam connections, and bespoke welding where removal is impossible or costly.
What Is Mobile Welding in Croydon?
Mobile welding means bringing professional welding equipment directly to your location so repairs or fabrications can be completed on-site. This is crucial when the metalwork is fixed in place, too heavy to move, or located in an awkward spot that makes removal unsafe or costly.
Our VW welding service in Croydon is tailored for real-world challenges — whether it’s armoured vehicle chassis repairs, architectural steelwork welding, or fixing metalwork embedded in brickwork or tight spaces.
- ✓ On-site welding at homes, commercial sites, yards & construction zones
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding for a wide range of steels and alloys
- ✓ Ideal for heavy, fixed or awkward-to-remove metalwork
- ✓ 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 the tightest spaces.

Why Mobile Welding Matters for Croydon Customers
When metalwork is heavy, fixed in place, or located in a tight spot, transporting it to a workshop can be costly and disruptive. VW Welding in Croydon simplifies the process: we come to your location, set up safely, and complete repairs on-site.
This approach is particularly valuable for awkward access jobs — such as armoured vehicle chassis welded into frames, gates behind walls, railings on steps, or steelwork in rear gardens with no direct vehicle access.
We weld where the metalwork sits, so you avoid delays from transport, disassembly or workshop lead times.
By eliminating the need for removals and recovery vehicles, customers often save more than the welding cost itself.
Many of our jobs are in locations unsuitable for workshop drop-offs — we’re fully equipped for these challenges.

How VW Welding Jobs Are Carried Out Safely
Welding involves heat, sparks and fumes, so safety is paramount — especially in tight or awkward spaces. For restricted access jobs, we take extra care 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 the work area is cramped.
VW Welding Safety Checklist
- ✓ Site risk assessment before starting work
- ✓ Fire watch and suitable fire extinguisher on hand
- ✓ Protection of glass, paintwork and nearby vehicles
- ✓ 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 areas
