We have completed on-site light steel welding for homeowners, landlords, shops, and industrial clients across West London, from small repairs to complex architectural and armoured vehicle welding projects.
We are experienced working in tight access locations, protected environments, and busy urban settings. Whether it’s a residential street with limited parking, a mews property with narrow access, a commercial unit requiring minimal disruption, or a construction site with strict deadlines — we plan every job carefully to avoid unexpected costs.
What Is Mobile Welding in Chelsea?
Mobile welding means our skilled welder comes directly to your location with all necessary equipment and consumables, eliminating the need to remove heavy steelwork or transport vehicles to a workshop. This approach often reduces overall costs by removing hidden expenses like loading, transport, and waiting time.
Our mobile light steel welding service in Chelsea covers everything from quick repairs (such as broken brackets or hinges) to comprehensive site work for builders and industrial clients (architectural steel beams, posts, connection plates, and armoured vehicle fabrication). We can provide pricing from photos and measurements for most jobs and confirm the full scope before starting.

Why Mobile Welding Matters for Chelsea Customers
In Chelsea, the “real cost” of welding often lies beyond the weld itself — it’s the time, disruption, and logistics involved. Removing heavy steelwork or armoured vehicle parts for workshop repairs can quickly escalate costs due to transport, labour, and delays. Mobile light steel welding in Chelsea keeps the work where it is, avoiding recovery vehicles, extra labour, and long waiting times.
Whether it’s a snapped hinge on a driveway gate, a handrail becoming unsafe, an architectural steel connection needed before inspection, or an urgent armoured vehicle repair discovered last minute — 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 organising collection and delivery. This is especially valuable for businesses, landlords, and sites needing rapid resolutions.
With mobile welding, you pay for the work and time on site — no hidden extras like transport, disassembly, or storage. We explain cost drivers upfront so you can plan your budget with confidence.
We often work around access restrictions, delivery windows, and trading hours. Evening and weekend bookings are available by arrangement and priced clearly before attendance.
What’s Involved in Booking Light Steel Welding in Chelsea
Booking is straightforward and focused on cost transparency. Provide a few details, and we’ll confirm a likely price range or fixed quote, plus availability — before attending your property, site, shop, or yard.
Send Job Details
Call 07700161796 or message with photos. Include postcode, access notes (stairs/parking/rear garden), and describe the item (architectural steel, armoured vehicle, gate, railing, shutter, trailer, plant, etc.). If you know metal thickness or section size, please include it.
Receive a Clear Quote
We explain what affects cost: preparation/grinding, thickness, reinforcement plates, finishing, and time needed. For many jobs, you’ll get a guide price immediately; for larger work, we’ll quote based on photos/drawings and a quick site check if needed.
We Attend & Weld On-Site
The welder arrives with tools and consumables, sets up safely, protects nearby surfaces (glass/paint/vehicles), and completes the welding work. If reinforcement is advisable, we’ll explain before proceeding — 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 them.
Your Light Steel Welding Job at a Glance
How Long Do Light Steel Welding Jobs Take?
Small Repairs
Small jobs like hinge repairs, bracket reinforcements or minor cracks can often be completed within an hour. Time depends mainly on preparation (cleaning/grinding) and ease of access to the weld area.
Medium Structural & Gate Work
Typical gate/railing repairs, handrail strengthening, or smaller structural connections usually take a few hours. This includes safe setup, protection of nearby surfaces, welding, and tidy grinding where agreed.
Larger Site & Industrial Work
Multiple weld locations, thicker steel, armoured vehicle repairs, or site welding packages can take half a day or more. Day-rate packages often provide better value than stacking small hourly charges.
Typical Job Timeline
When Is Light Steel Welding Needed in Chelsea?
🏗️ Building & Renovation Work
When architectural steelwork requires on-site welding — beams, posts, frames, brackets and connection plates — often needed before inspections or when timelines are tight.
🚪 Broken Gates, Railings & Handrails
A hinge snaps, a railing loosens, or a handrail fails at the fixing point. Mobile welding avoids removing entire sections and reduces total cost.
🏪 Shops, Shutters & Commercial Metalwork
Repairs to brackets, frames, security gates and shutter components where downtime matters. We often work around opening hours to keep your business running smoothly.
🚚 Armoured Vehicle, Trailer & Equipment Repairs
Cracked trailer frames, armoured vehicle chassis repairs, ramp issues and tow points needing strengthening. We assess first and only weld where it’s safe and practical.
🏘️ Landlords & Managing Agents
Communal stairs, balcony rails, security gates and metalwork repairs that need prompt attention to keep tenants safe and reduce liability.
🏭 Yards, Workshops & Industrial Units
Brackets, frames, racks, guards and general wear-and-tear repairs. Mobile welding reduces downtime and avoids sending equipment off-site.
How Light Steel Welding Jobs Are Carried Out Safely in Chelsea
On-site welding requires careful planning, protection, and awareness of surroundings — especially in Chelsea, where properties often have high-finish surfaces, parked vehicles, glass balustrades and restricted access. Every job begins with a quick site-specific safety check before welding starts.
We take sensible precautions to protect people, property and nearby finishes. This applies equally whether working at a private home, retail unit, communal residential block, or industrial yard.
Light Steel 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 begins — so you stay in control of both risk and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions – Light Steel Welding Chelsea
1. How much does light steel welding in Chelsea cost?
Many local call-outs start from around £120 for small repairs, but the final price depends on access, preparation time, thickness of metal and how much welding is needed. 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 do architectural steel and RSJ welding?
Yes. We regularly support refurbishment and building projects with on-site welding for beams, posts and connection plates. If you have an engineer’s detail or drawing, send it 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?
Most jobs are mild steel/structural steel. Some stainless and aluminium work may be possible depending on the job and access. If you’re unsure what you have, 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 gates, railings and external metalwork. Weather and safe working conditions matter — heavy rain/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 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 any flammable items, and make sure there’s reasonable access for us to park and carry 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 gate/rail or structural work may take a few 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 businesses that want work completed outside trading 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/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/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.
