We can provide quotes based on photos and measurements for most jobs and confirm the full scope before starting.

Why Mobile Bus Body Welding Matters for Chelsea Customers
In Chelsea, the “real cost” of bus body welding often lies beyond the weld itself — it’s the time, disruption, and logistics involved. Removing bus body parts or transporting vehicles to workshops can increase downtime and expenses. Mobile bus body welding in Chelsea keeps the repair work where the vehicle is, avoiding recovery vehicles, extra labour, and long delays.
Whether it’s a broken hinge on a bus door, a cracked chassis frame, panel corrosion repairs, or urgent reinforcement needed before inspections, on-site welding is usually the fastest way to control both time and budget.
Repairs are completed on-site, eliminating days of waiting for workshop slots or vehicle transport. This is especially valuable for fleet operators and transport companies needing quick turnaround.
Mobile welding pricing is based on job scope and time on site — no hidden fees for transport, storage, or multiple visits. We explain cost drivers clearly so you can plan your budget.
We work around depot access restrictions, operating hours, and delivery windows. Evening and weekend bookings are available by arrangement and priced transparently upfront.
What’s Involved in Booking Bus Body Welding in Chelsea
Booking is simple and focused on cost clarity. Provide a few details, and we’ll confirm a likely price range or fixed quote, plus availability — before attending your bus depot, yard, or roadside location.
Send Job Details
Call 07700161796 or message with photos. Include the postcode, access notes (parking, yard layout, stairs if relevant), and what part of the bus needs welding (chassis, panel, hinge, ramp, etc.). If you know metal thickness or section size, include that.
Receive a Clear Quote
We explain what’s included and what affects cost: preparation/grinding, metal thickness, reinforcement plates, finishing, and time needed. For many jobs you’ll get a guide price immediately; for larger or complex work, we’ll quote based on photos/drawings and a quick site check if necessary.
We Attend & Weld On-Site
The welder arrives with tools and consumables, sets up safely, protects nearby surfaces (paint, glass, vehicles), and completes the welding work. If reinforcement is advisable, we explain before proceeding — so you stay in control of costs.
Final Checks & Payment
We inspect the weld with you, confirm everything is secure, and tidy the area. Payment is normally due on completion. Optional finishing items (primer/paint) are agreed before starting.

Frequently Asked Questions – Bus Body Welding Chelsea
1. How much does bus body welding in Chelsea cost?
Many local call-outs start from around £120 for small repairs, but the final price depends on access, preparation time, metal thickness, and welding extent. If you send photos first, we can usually give a clearer guide price so you can budget properly.
2. What areas do you cover around Chelsea?
We cover Chelsea and nearby areas such as South Kensington, Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Fulham, Battersea, Earl’s Court and much of West/Central London. If you’re slightly further out, ask — we’ll confirm availability and travel cost.
3. Can you weld bus chassis and structural frames?
Yes. We regularly support fleet maintenance and refurbishment projects with on-site welding for chassis frames, posts, and connection plates. If you have engineer details or drawings, send them over — it helps us quote more accurately and avoid delays.
4. Do you offer same-day or emergency welding?
Where possible, yes. Call 07700161796 with details and we’ll confirm the earliest slot. Emergency work can carry an additional cost depending on timing and travel — we’ll tell you upfront.
5. What metals can you weld on bus bodies?
Most jobs involve mild steel and structural steel. Some stainless steel and aluminium work may be possible depending on the job and access. If you’re unsure, a photo usually helps.
6. Do I need to provide power?
If a standard 240V supply is available nearby, it can reduce setup time. For certain jobs we can still work with our own equipment — tell us what’s available so we price it correctly.
7. Can you weld outdoors in Chelsea?
Yes, outdoor welding is common for bus body panels, chassis and external metalwork. Weather and safe working conditions matter — heavy rain or wind can affect safety and quality.
8. Can you quote from photos?
Photos are the quickest route to a realistic budget figure. We can often give a guide price from clear photos plus postcode, then confirm on inspection once on site.
9. Do you supply small materials like plates and brackets?
Yes — we can supply small plates, flat bar and brackets as part of the job. Larger steel sections may need ordering in advance, which we’ll discuss before booking.
10. Can you weld bus chassis for MOT or safety inspections?
Some chassis repairs may be possible, but only where safe and practical. Severe corrosion or unsafe areas may be declined — we’ll be honest about what’s worth doing and what isn’t.
11. How do I prepare for a bus body welding visit?
Clear the work area, move any flammable items, and ensure reasonable access for parking and equipment. This saves time — and time saved usually means money saved.
12. How long will the job take?
Small repairs can take under an hour, while larger chassis or structural work may take several hours or more. We’ll give a time estimate before starting so your schedule and budget stay predictable.
13. Do you work evenings or weekends?
Yes, by arrangement — useful for fleet operators wanting work completed outside normal hours. Some out-of-hours visits may cost slightly more; we’ll confirm before booking.
14. Are you insured?
Yes, we carry public liability insurance for on-site welding and fabrication work. Details available on request.
15. Will welding damage nearby paint, stone or glass?
Sparks can damage finishes if not protected. We take precautions and use screens where needed, but we also recommend moving vehicles or valuable items where possible to reduce risk.
16. Can you paint after welding?
We can offer basic priming or a simple protective coat as an option for some jobs. Full decorative finishing is usually best handled separately, but we’ll advise what’s best value.
17. Do you provide paperwork for structural jobs?
We can confirm what welding work was carried out, but structural sign-off remains with your engineer or building control. If documentation is important, tell us beforehand so we plan properly.
18. What payment methods do you accept?
Bank transfer is preferred. Payment is normally due on completion once you’ve checked and approved the work.
19. Can you quote in person first?
For many jobs, photos are enough to quote or give a realistic range. For bigger or more complex work, we may arrange a short site visit first to avoid guesswork and protect your budget.
