01 — Overview

What welding services actually is — and when to commission it.

What it is

Welding services covers everything from a one-off repair — a broken bracket, a cracked frame, a snapped gate hinge — through to fabricating a component to order. Done in steel and stainless, MIG and TIG.

Who it's for

Trade clients in Swindon needing a small repair to keep a job moving, homeowners with a broken bit of metal that needs saving rather than replacing, engineers needing a one-off welded fabrication, and other tradespeople who need a proper welder rather than a general handyman.

When it's needed

When something's broken and needs to be repaired, when a small component needs to be fabricated to a drawing or sample, or when a general contractor needs a skilled welder to hand for a defined part of a job.

Why professional help matters

A weld is either fully fused or it isn't. A cold weld looks the same on the surface as a good one and fails the first time it's loaded. Welding is a discipline — done properly it lasts the life of the material; done badly it fails immediately.

02 — What happens if you get it wrong

The four failures we see when welding services is done cheaply.

Cold or porous welds

Under-heated welds or welds contaminated with paint, mill scale or moisture fail on first load. They also crack invisibly under cyclic load.

Wrong process for the material

MIG on thin stainless burns through; TIG on structural mild steel is slow and unnecessary. Matching the process to the material is a big part of the skill.

Repair that just cracks again

A weld into an already-fatigued section without addressing the cause fails again in weeks. Proper repair often means gusseting or reinforcing, not just filling the crack.

No finish after the weld

A weld left un-ground and un-treated on external work rusts at the join within a season.

03 — Our process

From first call to signed-off installation.

  1. Step 1

    Bring it in, or send a photo

    Small items can come to the workshop; larger items get a site visit. A photo and dimensions get you a quick indicative price.

  2. Step 2

    Fair, transparent quote

    Priced honestly. What we quote is what you pay.

  3. Step 3

    Welded properly

    Correct process (MIG for structural steel, TIG for stainless and finish work), correct filler, correct heat input. Welds ground back on visible work.

  4. Step 4

    Finished for its environment

    Primed and topcoated where appropriate; passivated on stainless. So the repair holds visually as well as structurally.

  5. Step 5

    Handed back or installed

    Collected, delivered, or installed on site — whatever the job needs.

05 — In detail

Materials, methods, variations — the full picture.

This is the technical detail that separates a fabricator from a supplier. Read it, or skim the headings — either way, it's what you're paying for.

Processes we use

MIG (Metal Inert Gas / GMAW) is our workhorse for structural mild steel, gates, staircases, balustrades and general fabrication — fast, strong and well-suited to production welding. TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas / GTAW) is used on stainless steel, on visible welds where finish matters, and on thin material where MIG would burn through.

Materials

Mild steel across all sections — box, tube, angle, flat, plate, beam. Stainless steel primarily on balustrade infill, handrail and where cosmetic weld finish is required. We do not weld aluminium.

Common repair jobs

Broken gate hinges and drop-bolts, cracked staircase stringers, fatigued handrail connections, broken workshop-tool brackets, cracked trailer chassis (subject to structural assessment), garden furniture and gate ironmongery, and heritage metalwork repairs where the piece is worth saving.

Fabrication to order

Custom brackets, gussets, plates, small assemblies and one-off components fabricated from your drawing, sketch or sample. Ideal for engineers, other trades, and anyone who needs 'one of these, exactly.'

On-site welding

Where the item can't come to the workshop we bring the welder to site. Common on structural steel installation, gate and balustrade fit-up, and site repair. £2m public liability and CSCS-carded across Swindon, Wiltshire and the surrounding counties.
