Why Mobile Metal Fabrication Matters for Chelsea Customers
In Chelsea, the biggest cost factor in metalwork jobs is often the logistics, not the welding itself. Transporting heavy or fixed items to a workshop adds labour, vehicle hire, and downtime. Mobile metal fabrication in Chelsea keeps the work where it is, eliminating recovery vehicles, extra handling, and delays.
Whether it’s a broken hinge on a driveway gate, a handrail needing reinforcement, an RSJ connection before building control inspection, or an armoured vehicle weld repair needed urgently — on-site fabrication controls both time and budget effectively.
Repairs are done on-site, so you avoid waiting for workshop availability or organising transport. Ideal for businesses, landlords, and sites needing fast turnaround.
You pay for the job and site time only — no hidden transport or storage fees. We explain cost drivers upfront so you can plan accurately.
We work around access restrictions, delivery windows, and trading hours. Evening and weekend appointments available by arrangement with clear pricing.
What’s Involved in Booking Metal Fabrication in Chelsea
Booking is straightforward and focused on cost transparency. Provide some details, and we’ll confirm a likely price range or fixed quote, plus availability — before attending your home, site, shop or yard.
Send Job Details
Call 07700161796 or send photos. Include postcode, access notes (stairs/parking/rear garden), and describe the metalwork (gate, railing, beam, armoured vehicle, shutter, trailer, plant, etc.). Metal type and thickness help too.
Receive a Clear Quote
We explain what’s included and what impacts cost: preparation, metal thickness, reinforcement plates, finishing and time. For many jobs, you get a guide price immediately; for larger work, we quote from photos/drawings and a quick site check if needed.
We Attend & Fabricate On-Site
The fabricator arrives with tools and consumables, sets up safely, protects nearby surfaces (glass/paint/vehicles), and completes welding and fabrication. Reinforcement options are explained before being applied so you control costs.
Final Checks & Payment
We inspect the work with you, confirm everything is secure, and tidy up. Payment is normally due on completion. Optional finishing like primer/paint is agreed before starting.

How Mobile Metal Fabrication Jobs Are Carried Out Safely in Chelsea
On-site metal fabrication requires careful planning, protection, and awareness of surroundings — especially in Chelsea, where properties often feature delicate finishes, parked vehicles, glass balustrades and tight access. Every job begins with a site-specific safety assessment before welding starts.
We take sensible precautions to protect people, property and finishes. This applies whether working at a private home, retail unit, communal residential block, or industrial yard.
Mobile Metal Fabrication 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
Any safety or access issues that could affect time or cost are discussed before work starts, so you maintain control over risk and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions – Metal Fabrication Chelsea
1. How much does metal fabrication 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/fabrication scope. Sending photos first usually allows a clearer guide price for budgeting.
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 structural steel and RSJ fabrication?
Yes. We regularly support refurbishment and building projects with on-site fabrication and welding for beams, posts and connection plates. Engineer’s details or drawings help us quote accurately and avoid delays.
4. Do you offer same-day or emergency fabrication?
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 inform you upfront.
5. What metals can you fabricate and weld?
Most jobs involve mild steel and structural steel. Some stainless steel and aluminium work may be possible depending on the job and access. If unsure, a photo usually helps.
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 — please advise what’s available so we price correctly.
7. Can you fabricate outdoors in Chelsea?
Yes, outdoor fabrication is common for gates, railings and external metalwork. Weather and safety conditions matter — heavy rain or strong wind can affect quality and safety.
8. Can you quote from photos?
Photos are the quickest way to get a realistic budget estimate. We often provide a guide price from 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 armoured vehicle chassis or components?
Some armoured vehicle weld repairs are possible, but only where safe and practical. Severe corrosion or unsafe areas may be declined — we’ll advise honestly about what’s feasible.
11. How do I prepare for a mobile fabrication visit?
Clear the work area, remove flammable items, and ensure reasonable access for parking and equipment handling. This saves time and money.
12. How long will the job take?
Small repairs often take under an hour, while larger gate, rail or structural fabrication can take several hours. We provide time estimates before starting so your schedule and budget stay predictable.
13. Do you work evenings or weekends?
Yes, by arrangement — useful for businesses needing work outside trading hours. Some out-of-hours visits may cost more; we confirm before booking.
14. Are you insured?
Yes, we carry public liability insurance for on-site metal fabrication and welding. 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 or finish after fabrication?
We offer basic priming or protective coatings as an option for some jobs. Full decorative finishing is usually best handled separately, but we advise on best value options.
17. Do you provide paperwork for structural fabrication?
We confirm the welding and fabrication work carried out, but structural sign-off remains with your engineer or building control. If documentation is important, please advise beforehand.
18. What payment methods do you accept?
Bank transfer is preferred. Payment is usually due on completion once you’ve approved the work.
19. Can you quote in person first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos alone. For larger or more complex work, a short site visit may be arranged to avoid guesswork and protect your budget.
