About Our Dock Welding Service in Chelsea
Dock Welding Chelsea focuses on two key client priorities: quality workmanship and cost transparency. We have delivered on-site dock welding and metal repairs for homeowners, landlords, shops, and industrial clients across West London, ranging from small dock gate repairs to complex armoured vehicle welding and dock infrastructure projects.
Our team is experienced working in tight access locations, protected environments, and busy dockside areas. Whether it’s a narrow dockside with limited parking, a commercial dock requiring minimal disruption, or an industrial site with strict timelines — we plan every job carefully to avoid unexpected costs.
What Is Mobile Dock Welding in Chelsea?
Mobile dock welding means the welder comes directly to your dock, yard, or site with all necessary equipment and consumables — eliminating the need to remove heavy dock metalwork or transport vehicles to a workshop. This approach often reduces overall costs by removing hidden expenses like transport and waiting times.
Our mobile dock welding service in Chelsea covers everything from quick repairs (such as a snapped bracket or hinge on dock gates) to comprehensive site work for builders and industrial clients (structural steel, posts, connection plates, and fabrication). We can provide estimates from photos and measurements for most jobs and confirm the full scope before starting.
- ✓ On-site dock welding at homes, shops, yards & industrial sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding for most steels and suitable alloys
- ✓ Ideal for heavy or fixed dock items you can’t realistically move
- ✓ Strong repairs with reinforcement options explained clearly
- ✓ Chelsea-based coverage for West London docks and nearby areas

Why Mobile Dock Welding Matters for Chelsea Customers
In Chelsea, the “real cost” of dock welding is often not the weld itself — it’s the time, disruption and logistics. Removing dock gates or metalwork for workshop repairs can add significant expense and delay. Mobile dock welding in Chelsea keeps the work on-site, avoiding recovery vehicles, extra labour, and long wait times.
Whether it’s a snapped hinge on a dock gate, a handrail that’s become unsafe, a structural steel connection needed before an inspection, or an armoured vehicle weld needed urgently — on-site dock 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 organising transport. This is especially important for businesses, landlords, and dock operators who need quick solutions.
You pay for the job and time on-site — not hidden extras like transport, disassembly, storage, or multiple visits. We explain cost drivers upfront so you can plan your budget confidently.
We can work around dock 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 Dock Welding in Chelsea
Booking is straightforward and focused on cost clarity. Send details and photos, and we’ll confirm a likely price range or fixed quote, plus availability — before attending your dock, property, or industrial site.
Send Job Details
Call 07700161796 or message with photos. Include postcode, access notes (stairs/parking/rear garden), and describe the metalwork (dock gate, railing, beam, armoured vehicle, trailer, plant, etc.). Metal thickness or section size is helpful.
Receive a Clear Quote
We explain what’s included and what affects cost: preparation/grinding, thickness, reinforcement plates, finishing, and time needed. Many jobs get a guide price immediately; larger work may require photos/drawings and a quick site check.
We Attend & Weld On-Site
The welder arrives with tools and consumables, sets up safely, protects nearby surfaces (glass/paint/vehicles), and completes welding. Reinforcement options are explained before work begins to keep you in control.
Final Checks & Payment
We inspect the weld with you, confirm security, and tidy the area. Payment is normally due on completion. Optional finishing items (primer/paint) are agreed before starting.
Your Dock Welding Job at a Glance
How Long Do Dock Welding Jobs Take?
Small Repairs
Small dock jobs like hinge repairs, bracket reinforcement, or minor cracks can often be completed within an hour. Time depends mainly on preparation (cleaning/grinding) and accessibility of the weld area.
Medium Structural & Gate Work
Typical dock gate/railing repairs, handrail strengthening, or smaller structural connections usually take a few hours. This includes safe setup, surface protection, welding, and tidy grinding where agreed.
Larger Site & Industrial Work
Multiple weld locations, thicker steel, armoured vehicle welding, or dock site packages can take half a day or more. Day-rate packages often work out better than stacking small hourly charges.
Typical Job Timeline
When Is Dock Welding Needed in Chelsea?
🏗️ Dock Building & Renovation Work
When dock steelwork needs welding on site — gates, posts, frames, brackets and connection plates — often required before inspections or when timelines are tight.
🚪 Broken Dock Gates, Railings & Handrails
A hinge snaps, a railing loosens, or a handrail fails at the fixing point. Mobile dock welding avoids removing entire sections and reduces total cost.
🏪 Shops, Shutters & Commercial Dock Metalwork
Repairs to dock brackets, frames, security gates and shutter components where downtime matters. We often work around opening hours to keep your business running.
🚚 Armoured Vehicle, Trailer & Equipment Repairs
Cracked trailer frames, ramp issues and tow points that need strengthening. We assess first and only weld where safe and practical.
🏘️ Landlords & Managing Agents
Communal dock stairs, balcony rails, security gates and metalwork repairs that need prompt attention to keep tenants safe and reduce liability.
🏭 Yards, Workshops & Industrial Dock Units
Brackets, frames, racks, guards and general wear-and-tear repairs. Mobile dock welding cuts downtime and avoids sending equipment off-site.
How Dock Welding Jobs Are Carried Out Safely in Chelsea
On-site dock welding requires thorough planning, protection, and awareness of surroundings — especially in Chelsea, where docks and properties often have delicate finishes, parked vehicles, glass balustrades, and restricted access. Every job starts with a site-specific safety check before welding begins.
We take sensible precautions to protect people, property and nearby finishes. This applies equally whether working at a private dock, retail unit, communal residential block, or industrial yard.
Dock Welding Safety Checklist
- ✓ Initial risk assessment of the work area
- ✓ Protection of nearby glass, paintwork and vehicles
- ✓ Fire-resistant screens used where required
- ✓ Fire extinguisher and fire watch during and after welding
- ✓ Proper earthing, lead routing and cable management
- ✓ PPE including helmet, gloves, jacket and eye protection
- ✓ Final inspection and tidy-up before leaving site
If any safety or access issue would significantly affect job time or cost, this is discussed before work starts — so you stay in control of both risk and budget.

Most jobs involve mild steel/structural steel. Some stainless and aluminium work may be possible depending on the job and access. Unsure? A photo usually helps.

A standard 240V supply nearby reduces setup time. For some jobs, we can work with our own equipment — tell us what’s available for accurate pricing.
7. Can you weld outdoors in Chelsea dock areas?
Yes, outdoor welding is common for dock 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 often give guide prices from clear photos plus postcode, then confirm 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.

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.

Clear the work area, move flammable items, and ensure reasonable access for parking and equipment. This saves time and money.

We offer basic priming or protective coats as an option. Full decorative finishing is usually handled separately, but we advise on best value.
