Why Dock Welding Matters for Bromley Customers
Moving heavy dock steelwork, gates, machinery or vehicles off-site is often slow, costly and disruptive. Dock welding in Bromley reverses this by bringing expert welding directly to your dock or quay, repairing or fabricating on-site to get you back up and running quickly.
Whether a dock gate is stuck, a fire escape needs urgent welding, a trailer cracked before a job, or a structural beam requires welding for building control, on-site dock welding is usually the fastest and most cost-effective solution.
No need for heavy transport or dismantling. We weld in your dockyard or quay so work can continue with minimal delay and disruption.
Reducing transport, lifting equipment and strip-down work means you typically spend less overall on dock repairs or steel installations.
We offer flexible appointment times – including evenings and weekends by arrangement – ideal if you need urgent dock welding around your schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions – Dock Welding Bromley
1. How much does dock welding in Bromley cost?
Local Bromley call-outs typically start from around £120 for small, straightforward dock repairs. Larger or more complex welding is priced based on time on-site, materials, access and urgency – we always confirm costs with you before we begin.
2. What areas do you cover?
We’re based in Bromley BR1 and cover Bromley, Beckenham, Chislehurst, Orpington, Petts Wood, Shortlands and much of South East London and North Kent. If you’re just outside this area, get in touch and we’ll let you know if we can attend.
3. Can you do structural steel and RSJ welding for docks?
Yes. We regularly weld RSJs, posts, columns and connection plates on dock refurbishments, quay repairs and marine construction, working to structural engineer details and alongside builders where needed.
4. Do you offer emergency or same-day dock welding?
Where our schedule allows, yes. Call 07700161796 with your location and job details, and we’ll confirm the earliest slot and any additional emergency call-out rate if it’s outside normal hours.
5. What metals can you weld?
We mainly weld mild and structural steel. Depending on access and job type, we can also weld stainless steel and aluminium – for dock gates, railings, marine furniture and boat parts.
6. Do I need to provide power?
Standard 240V power on-site is helpful but not essential. We can bring our own generator – just let us know in advance so we can plan the set-up and quote correctly.
7. Can you weld outdoors on docks?
Yes, we often weld outside, but we need safe conditions. Heavy rain and strong winds can affect weld quality and safety, so we may advise rescheduling or using shelters where possible.
8. Can you work from my photos?
Photos and short videos are extremely useful for giving a guide price, planning access and seeing the condition of the dock steelwork. Final pricing and method may still depend on what we find when we arrive.
9. Do you provide materials like plates and brackets?
Yes. We can supply plates, flat bar and small sections as part of the job. Larger steel sections or specialist items may need to be ordered in advance once we know the sizes.
10. Can you weld dock vehicle chassis for MOT?
We can often repair chassis sections, but only where it’s safe and practical. We’ll assess corrosion and surrounding metal first and may decline the job if a safe repair isn’t possible.
11. How do I prepare for your visit?
Please clear the work area as much as possible, remove flammable items and ensure we can park reasonably close so we can run leads and move equipment safely.
12. How long will you be on site?
Small repairs can often be completed within an hour; more involved dock gate, railing or structural steel jobs may take half a day or more. We’ll always give you an estimate before starting work.
13. Do you work evenings or weekends?
Yes, we can often offer evening or weekend appointments, particularly for urgent work or where daytime access is difficult. These slots may have a slightly higher rate to reflect the timing.
14. Are you insured?
Yes, we hold public liability insurance for on-site welding and metal fabrication work. Policy details can be provided on request for your records or main contractor approval.
15. Will welding damage nearby glass or paint?
Sparks can mark glass and paintwork if not controlled, so we always protect surrounding areas where possible. Please move vehicles and valuables out of the immediate welding area before we start.
16. Can you paint after welding?
We can apply primer or basic paint to welded areas if requested as an optional extra. Full decorative painting or colour-matching is usually better handled separately once the metal has cooled and been prepared.
17. Do you issue any paperwork for structural dock jobs?
We can confirm in writing what welding work was carried out, but structural sign-off always remains with your structural engineer and building control officer.
18. What payment methods do you accept?
Bank transfer is preferred, but we can discuss other usual payment methods when booking. Unless agreed otherwise, payment is due on completion of the job.
19. Can you come and quote in person first?
For many jobs, photos and measurements are enough to quote. For larger, high-risk or complex dock work we may arrange a short site visit in Bromley or nearby areas to check everything before giving a final price.
