About Our Van Welding Service in Chelsea
Van Welding Chelsea focuses on two key client priorities: expert workmanship and transparent pricing. We have completed on-site welding for van owners, commercial fleets, armoured vehicle specialists, and industrial clients across West London, ranging from minor repairs to complex structural welding and bespoke modifications.
Our team is experienced working in tight access locations, busy streets, and secure environments. Whether it’s a narrow Chelsea mews, a commercial yard, or a construction site with strict timelines, we plan each job carefully to avoid unexpected costs or delays.
What Is Mobile Welding in Chelsea?
Mobile welding means the welding specialist comes to your location with all necessary equipment, so you don’t have to transport your van or vehicle to a workshop. This approach often saves money by eliminating transport costs, loading/unloading, and downtime.

We usually provide pricing from photos and measurements, confirming scope before starting work.

Why Mobile Van Welding Matters for Chelsea Customers
In Chelsea, the true cost of van welding often lies beyond the weld itself — including time, disruption, and logistics. Transporting a van to a workshop, waiting for repairs, and reinstallation can escalate costs and downtime. Mobile van welding in Chelsea keeps the work at your location, eliminating transport and reducing delays.
Whether it’s a cracked chassis on a delivery van, a reinforcement needed on an armoured vehicle, or a last-minute trailer repair, on-site welding is usually the fastest way to control both time and budget.
Repairs are completed on-site, so you avoid waiting days for workshop slots or arranging vehicle transport. This is especially valuable for businesses and fleet operators needing quick turnarounds.
Mobile welding pricing is based on the job and time on site — no hidden extras like transport, disassembly, or storage. We explain cost factors upfront so you can plan confidently.
We work around access restrictions, delivery windows, and business hours. Evening and weekend bookings are available by arrangement with clear pricing.

Most jobs involve mild steel and structural steel. Some stainless steel and aluminium work may be possible depending on the job and access. Photos help us assess the materials.
6. Do I need to provide power for on-site welding?
If a standard 240V supply is available nearby, it reduces setup time. We can work with our own equipment if power is unavailable — please inform us so we price accordingly.

Yes — small plates, flat bar, and brackets can be supplied as part of the job. Larger steel sections may require advance ordering, which we discuss before booking.

Some chassis repairs may be possible, but only where safe and practical. Severe corrosion or unsafe areas may be declined — we provide honest advice on what’s feasible.

Clear the work area, remove flammable items, and ensure reasonable access for parking and equipment handling. This helps save time and cost.

Small repairs usually take under an hour, while larger bodywork or structural jobs may take several hours. We provide time estimates before starting to keep your schedule predictable.
