Why Mobile Welding Matters for Chelsea Customers
In Chelsea, the “true cost” of welding often lies beyond the weld itself — it’s the disruption, logistics, and downtime. Removing vehicle footplates or transporting armoured vehicles to workshops can be costly and time-consuming. Mobile welding in Chelsea keeps the work on-site, eliminating recovery vehicles, extra labour, and long delays.
Whether it’s a cracked footplate on an armoured car, an architectural metalwork repair before an inspection, or urgent vehicle footplate reinforcement, on-site welding is usually the fastest way to control both time and budget.
Repairs are completed on-site, so you avoid days of waiting for workshop slots or organising vehicle transport. This is especially valuable for fleet operators, businesses, and landlords who need quick resolutions.
Mobile welding pricing is based on the job and time on-site — no hidden extras like transport, storage or multiple visits. We explain cost drivers upfront so you can plan your budget.
We work around access restrictions, delivery windows and trading hours. Evening and weekend bookings are available by arrangement, with clear pricing before attendance.
What’s Involved in Booking Car Footplate Welding in Chelsea
Booking is simple and focused on cost clarity. Share a few details and photos, and we’ll confirm the likely price range or fixed quote, plus availability — before attending your vehicle, property, or site.
Send Job Details
Call 07700161796 or message with photos. Include postcode, access notes (stairs/parking/rear garden), and what the item is (car footplate, armoured vehicle, architectural metalwork, trailer, plant, etc.). If you know metal thickness or section size, even better.
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 work we may quote based on photos/drawings and a quick site check if required.
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 sensible, we’ll explain before doing it — so you stay in control of spend.
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 – Car Footplate Welding Chelsea
1. How much does car footplate welding in Chelsea cost?
Many local call-outs start from around £120 for small repairs, but final price depends on access, preparation time, metal thickness and welding extent. Sending photos first helps us give a clearer guide price.
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 armoured vehicle footplates?
Yes. We specialise in welding armoured vehicle footplates and structural metalwork, with experience in security vehicle repairs. Photos and engineer details help us quote 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 may carry an additional cost depending on timing and travel — we’ll tell you upfront.
5. What metals can you weld?
Most jobs involve mild steel or structural steel. Some stainless and aluminium work may be possible depending on the job and access. If unsure, photos usually help.
6. Do I need to provide power?
If a standard 240V supply is available nearby, it reduces setup time. For some jobs we can work with our own equipment — tell us what’s available so we price correctly.
7. Can you weld outdoors in Chelsea?
Yes, outdoor welding is common for vehicle footplates, gates, railings 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 way 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 vehicle chassis for MOT?
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 mobile welding visit?
Clear the work area, move 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 footplate or structural work may take several hours. We provide time estimates before starting to keep your schedule and budget predictable.
13. Do you work evenings or weekends?
Yes, by arrangement — useful for businesses wanting work outside trading hours. Some out-of-hours visits may cost slightly more; we 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 unprotected. We take precautions and use screens where needed, but recommend moving vehicles or valuables where possible to reduce risk.
16. Can you paint after welding?
We offer basic priming or simple protective coats as options for some jobs. Full decorative finishing is usually handled separately, but we advise on best value.
17. Do you provide paperwork for structural jobs?
We confirm welding work 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 complex work, we may arrange a short site visit to avoid guesswork and protect your budget.
