About Our Welding Gate Latch Service in Croydon
Welding Gate Latch Croydon was founded to provide expert on-site welding solutions for gate latches and metalwork in challenging locations. Many clients contact us after being told their gate latch must be removed and taken to a workshop, which often involves costly dismantling and downtime.
We specialise in welding gate latches, hinges, and frames in place, even in tight or awkward access areas such as behind fences, narrow side passages, steps, and congested yards. Our approach is practical, safe, and focused on durable results you can trust.
Typical Croydon jobs: dropped or broken gate latches, bent hinges, loose handrails, security grille repairs, on-site frame welding, and “can you weld this without removing it?” requests.
What Is Mobile Welding in Croydon?
Mobile welding means bringing welding equipment directly to your property so repairs or fabrications can be completed where the metalwork is fixed. This is essential when gate latches, hinges, or frames are welded into place and cannot be safely removed.
Our mobile welding service in Croydon is tailored for real-world sites — whether that’s a gate latch welded into brickwork, a hinge on a stair handrail, or a security grille in a narrow alley.
- ✓ On-site welding at homes, businesses, yards & construction sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding for various steels and alloys
- ✓ Ideal for heavy, fixed or awkward-to-remove metal components
- ✓ Perfect for urgent repairs where transport isn’t feasible
- ✓ Croydon-based coverage across South London and neighbouring areas
Awkward access is normal for us: we plan set-up, protect surrounding areas, control sparks, and work efficiently even in tight spaces.

Why Mobile Welding Matters for Croydon Customers
When gate latches or metalwork are fixed in place or located in tight spots, transporting them to a workshop is costly and disruptive. Mobile welding in Croydon simplifies the process by bringing the welding service to your property, performing repairs safely and efficiently on-site.
This approach is especially valuable for awkward access jobs — such as a gate latch welded into brickwork, railings on steps with limited room, or metal brackets tucked behind fences or bin stores.
We weld where the gate latch is installed, avoiding delays from removal and transport.
By eliminating removals and recovery vehicle costs, you often save more than the welding itself costs.
Many jobs are in locations unsuitable for workshop drop-offs — we’re equipped for those challenges.

Welding involves heat, sparks and fumes, so safety is paramount — especially in confined or awkward spaces. For gate latch welding in tight areas, we use shielding, ventilation and protect nearby surfaces before starting.
