Frequently Asked Questions – Car Footplate Welding Lewisham
1. How much does car footplate welding in Lewisham cost?
Local Lewisham call-outs typically start from around £120 for small, straightforward footplate repairs. Larger or more complex welding is priced based on time on-site, materials, access and urgency – we always confirm costs with you before starting.
2. What areas do you cover?
We’re based in Lewisham SE13 and cover Lewisham, Catford, Blackheath, Deptford, Brockley, Forest Hill 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 weld armoured vehicle footplates?
Yes. We specialise in welding armoured vehicle footplates, providing repairs and reinforcements to meet safety and security standards.
4. Do you offer emergency or same-day 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 outside normal hours.
5. What metals can you weld?
We mainly weld mild steel and structural steel. Depending on access and job type, we can also weld stainless steel and aluminium – for example, some footplates, railings 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 weld outdoors?
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 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 sizes are known.
10. Can you weld vehicle chassis for MOT?
We can often repair chassis sections, but only where it’s safe and practical. We 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 leads and equipment can be safely managed.
12. How long will you be on site?
Small repairs often complete within an hour; more involved footplate or structural jobs may take half a day or more. We always provide an estimate before starting work.
13. Do you work evenings or weekends?
Yes, we can often offer evening or weekend appointments, especially for urgent work or where daytime access is difficult. These slots may have a slightly higher rate.
14. Are you insured?
Yes, we hold public liability insurance for on-site welding and metal fabrication. Policy details can be provided on request for your records or 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 if requested as an optional extra. Full decorative painting or colour-matching is usually better handled separately once metal has cooled and been prepared.
17. Do you issue paperwork for structural jobs?
We can confirm in writing what welding work was carried out, but structural sign-off 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 work we may arrange a short site visit in Lewisham or nearby areas before giving a final price.
