About Our VW Welding Service in Chelsea
VW Welding Chelsea is founded on two core principles clients value: expert craftsmanship and transparent pricing. We have completed on-site welding for homeowners, landlords, commercial clients, and industrial customers across West London, ranging from small repair visits to complex armoured vehicle welding and architectural fabrication projects.
We excel in working within 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 carefully plan each job to avoid unexpected costs or delays.
What Is Mobile Welding in Chelsea?
Mobile welding means our specialist welder comes directly to your location with all necessary equipment and consumables. This eliminates the need to remove heavy or fixed metalwork, transport vehicles, or disrupt your property. It’s often the most cost-effective and efficient solution, avoiding hidden costs like loading, van hire, and workshop waiting times.
Our mobile welding service in Chelsea covers everything from quick fixes (like a broken hinge or bracket) to complex site welding for builders and industrial clients (RSJs, posts, connection plates, armoured vehicle welding). We can often provide pricing from photos and measurements, confirming scope before starting any work.

- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick welding for mild steel, armoured steel, and suitable alloys

Why Mobile Welding Matters for Chelsea Customers
In Chelsea, the “real cost” of welding often comes from logistics, downtime, and disruption rather than the weld itself. Removing armoured vehicles or architectural metalwork for workshop welding can be expensive and time-consuming. Mobile welding in Chelsea keeps the work on-site, avoiding recovery vehicles, extra labour, and long delays.
Whether it’s a broken hinge on a gate, a handrail that’s become unsafe, an RSJ connection needed before building control inspection, or urgent armoured vehicle repairs discovered before deployment — on-site welding controls both time and budget effectively.
Repairs are completed on-site, so you avoid workshop waiting times and complex logistics. This is vital for businesses, landlords, and industrial operators needing quick turnaround.
You pay for the job and time on site only — no hidden extras like transport, disassembly, storage, or multiple visits. We explain cost drivers clearly so you can plan your budget with confidence.
We work around access restrictions, delivery windows, and trading hours. Evening and weekend bookings are available by arrangement, with clear pricing upfront.

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 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 (armoured vehicle, gate, railing, beam, shutter, trailer, plant, etc.). If you know metal thickness or alloy type, please include.
Receive a Clear Quote
We explain what’s included and what affects cost: preparation/grinding, metal type and thickness, reinforcement plates, finishing, and time needed. For many jobs you’ll get a guide price immediately; for larger or specialised work, we’ll quote based on photos/drawings and a quick site check if required.
We Attend & Weld On-Site
Our specialist arrives with tools and consumables, sets up safely, protects nearby surfaces (glass/paint/vehicles), and completes the welding work. If reinforcement is recommended, we explain before proceeding — so you stay in control.
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.
Your VW Welding Job at a Glance
How Long Do VW Welding Jobs Take?
Small Repairs
Minor jobs like hinge repairs, bracket reinforcements, or small cracks can often be completed within an hour. Time depends on preparation (cleaning/grinding) and accessibility of the weld area.
Medium Structural & Architectural Work
Typical gate or 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 if agreed.
Larger Site, Armoured & Industrial Work
Multiple weld locations, thicker armoured steel, plant repairs, or site welding packages can take half a day or more. Day-rate packages often offer better value than stacking small hourly charges.
Typical Job Timeline
When Is VW Welding Needed in Chelsea?
🏗️ Building, Renovation & Architectural Work
When welding of structural steel, armoured panels, posts, frames, brackets, or connection plates is required on site — often needed before inspections or tight deadlines.
🚪 Broken Gates, Railings & Handrails
A hinge snaps, railing loosens, or handrail fixing fails. Mobile welding avoids removing entire sections and reduces overall costs.
🏪 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
Repairs to armoured vehicle chassis, trailer frames, ramps, and tow points. We assess safety and practicality before welding.
🏘️ Landlords & Managing Agents
Communal stairs, balcony rails, security gates, and metalwork repairs that must be done quickly 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 VW Welding Jobs Are Carried Out Safely in Chelsea
On-site welding requires thorough planning, protection, and awareness of surroundings — especially in Chelsea where properties often have high-finish surfaces, parked vehicles, glass balustrades, and restricted access. Each job begins with a detailed site-specific safety check before welding starts.
We take all necessary precautions to protect people, property, and finishes. This applies whether working at a private home, retail unit, communal residential block, or industrial yard.
VW 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 remain in control of risk and budget.

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 further out, ask — we’ll confirm availability and travel cost.
3. Can you do armoured vehicle and structural steel welding?
Yes. We regularly support refurbishment and building projects with on-site welding for armoured vehicles, beams, posts and connection plates. Engineer details or drawings 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 inform you upfront.
5. What metals can you weld?
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 clarify metal types.
6. Do I need to provide power?
A standard 240V supply nearby reduces setup time. For some jobs, we can operate with our own equipment — please advise what’s available so we price correctly.
7. Can you weld outdoors in Chelsea?
Yes, outdoor welding is common for gates, railings and external metalwork. Weather and safe working conditions are important — heavy rain or wind can affect safety and quality.
8. Can you quote from photos?
Photos are the quickest way to get a realistic budget figure. We often provide guide prices 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 or armoured sections may require 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 advise honestly on what’s worth doing.
11. How do I prepare for a VW welding visit?
Clear the work area, remove flammable items, and ensure reasonable access for parking and equipment transport. This saves time and usually reduces cost.
12. How long will the job take?
Small repairs can take under an hour, while larger gate, rail or structural work may take several hours. We provide time estimates before starting so your schedule and budget remain predictable.

Yes, we carry public liability insurance for on-site welding and fabrication work. Details available on request.

Sparks can damage finishes if not protected. We take precautions and use screens where needed, but recommend moving vehicles or valuable items where possible to reduce risk.

We offer basic priming or simple protective coats as options for some jobs. Full decorative finishing is usually best handled separately, but we advise on best value options.

We confirm what welding work was carried out, but structural sign-off remains with your engineer or building control. If documentation is important, please inform us beforehand so we can plan accordingly.
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.
