We cover Southwark and surrounding parts of Central and South London, including Bermondsey, Borough, Elephant & Castle, Camberwell, Rotherhithe and nearby areas. Coverage outside the borough is possible depending on the job.
3. Can you weld structural bus chassis and frame components?
Yes. We regularly weld chassis brackets, frame reinforcements and structural plates. Provide engineer details if available. We discuss access and safe working setup before starting.
4. Do you offer emergency or same-day bus body welding?
Where scheduling allows, yes. Call 07700161796 with photos and location. Emergency work may carry an additional call-out cost depending on urgency, but we confirm before attending.
5. What metals do you weld on bus bodies?
Most work is mild steel or structural steel used in bus bodies. We can weld stainless steel or aluminium where suitable, depending on access and job requirements.
6. Do I need to provide power for welding?
A standard 240V supply is helpful. If unavailable, we can bring a generator. Inform us of site conditions so we bring the right equipment.
7. Can you weld outdoors on buses?
Yes—many repairs are outside. We require safe conditions; heavy rain or strong wind may affect safety and weld quality, so timing may be adjusted.
8. Can you quote from photos?
Usually yes. Photos showing damage, full vehicle, access routes, and rough thickness help us price accurately. Final confirmation may happen on-site if conditions differ.
9. Do you supply materials like plates and brackets?
Yes. We supply small plates, flat bar, angle, and fixings where required. Larger steel sections may require lead time.
10. Can you weld bus chassis for MOT purposes?
Sometimes. It depends on corrosion and location. We inspect first and proceed only if safe and practical to do properly.
11. How should I prepare for your visit?
Clear the work zone, remove flammables, and ensure parking close enough for cable runs. For garages or restricted sites, inform us early.

14. Are you insured?
Yes, we carry public liability insurance suitable for on-site welding and fabrication work. Details available on request.
15. Will welding damage nearby paint or glass?
Sparks can damage paint and glass. We protect what we can, but moving vehicles or valuables away before work helps.

We can apply basic primer or protective coats as an extra. Full decorative painting is best done later once cured.

We confirm welding work and scope, but final structural sign-off remains with your engineer and building control.
