Why Mobile Metal Fabrication Matters for Bromley Customers
Transporting heavy steel, gates, machinery or vehicles off-site is often slow and costly. Mobile metal fabrication in Bromley reverses that – we come to you, fabricate or repair on-site, and get you back up and running quickly.
Whether a gate has dropped and won’t close, a fire escape needs urgent welding, a trailer cracked before a job, or a structural beam requires fabrication for building control, on-site metalwork is usually the fastest and most cost-effective solution.
No need for recovery vehicles or dismantling. We weld and fabricate in your driveway, yard or site so work can continue with minimal delay.
Reducing transport, lifting equipment and strip-down work means you typically spend less overall on the repair or steel installation.
We offer flexible appointment times – including evenings and weekends by agreement – ideal if you need the job done quickly around your schedule.

Client Reviews – Metal Fabrication Bromley
"Our driveway gates jammed open after a hinge snapped and we couldn’t secure the property. The fabricator arrived the same evening, re-aligned everything and reinforced the hinges – gate now closes better than when it was new."
"We used Metal Fabrication Bromley for RSJ connections on a kitchen extension. They turned up on time, worked to the engineer’s details and left the site tidy. Building control signed off without any issues."
"Called them for a cracked trailer at short notice. They came to our yard, strengthened the frame and sorted the tow hitch so we were back on the road the same day. Highly recommended if you need fast mobile fabrication."

Frequently Asked Questions – Metal Fabrication Bromley
1. How much does mobile metal fabrication in Bromley cost?
Local Bromley call-outs typically start from around £120 for small, straightforward repairs. Larger or more complex fabrication 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 fabrication?
Yes. We regularly fabricate and weld RSJs, posts, columns and connection plates on extensions, loft conversions and refurbishments, working to structural engineer details and alongside builders where needed.
4. Do you offer emergency or same-day fabrication?
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 fabricate and weld?
We mainly work with mild and structural steel. Depending on access and the type of job, we can also fabricate stainless steel and aluminium – for example, some railings, furniture and vehicle 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 fabricate outdoors?
Yes, we often work 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 metalwork. 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 fabricate and weld armoured vehicles?
Yes, we have experience with armoured vehicle welding and fabrication, subject to access and safety requirements. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.
11. How do I prepare for your visit?
Please clear the work area as much as you can, remove flammable items and ensure we can park reasonably close to the job 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 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 metal fabrication and welding work. Policy details can be provided on request for your records or for 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 fabrication?
We can apply primer or basic paint to fabricated 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 jobs?
We can confirm in writing what fabrication and welding work was carried out, but structural sign-off always remains with your structural engineer and the 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 work we may arrange a short site visit in Bromley or nearby areas to check everything before giving a final price.
20. How do I book Metal Fabrication Bromley?
