About Our Weld Cast Iron Service in Croydon
Weld Cast Iron Croydon is focused on delivering expert on-site cast iron welding and repairs, even in challenging locations. We understand that many cast iron components can’t be easily removed or transported due to their weight, fragility, or heritage value.
Our team specialises in welding cast iron architectural features, armoured vehicle parts, heritage restoration, and industrial cast iron components. We work in tight spaces such as rear gardens, basements, narrow alleys, and restricted sites across Croydon and South London.
Typical Croydon jobs: cast iron gate crack repairs, heritage balustrade welding, armoured vehicle weld reinforcements, broken cast iron pipe repairs, and “can you weld this without removal?” requests.
What Is Mobile Welding in Croydon?
Mobile welding means bringing the specialised welding equipment directly to your site, so repairs or fabrication can be completed where the cast iron actually is. This is essential for heavy, fixed, or delicate cast iron components that cannot be moved without risk or expense.
Our mobile welding service in Croydon is tailored for real-world sites — whether it’s a heritage building’s cast iron balustrade, an armoured vehicle’s heavy cast iron plating, or a cracked pipe in a basement.
- ✓ On-site welding at homes, heritage sites, industrial yards & construction zones
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding specialised for cast iron and alloys
- ✓ Ideal for heavy, fixed or fragile cast iron metalwork
- ✓ Perfect for urgent repairs where transport isn’t feasible
- ✓ Croydon-based coverage across South London and nearby areas
Awkward access is normal for us: we plan our set-up carefully, protect nearby surfaces, manage sparks safely, and work efficiently even in tight spaces.

This approach is especially valuable for awkward access jobs — such as cast iron gates behind walls, heritage balustrades on staircases, armoured vehicle parts in yards, or pipework in basements.
