No need for recovery vehicles or dismantling. We weld in your driveway, yard or site so work can continue with minimal delay.

Frequently Asked Questions – Custom Metal Repairs Lewisham
1. How much do custom metal repairs in Lewisham cost?
Local Lewisham call-outs typically start from around £120 for small, straightforward 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 Lewisham SE13 and cover Lewisham, Catford, Blackheath, Brockley, Greenwich, Deptford, New Cross 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 armoured vehicle and architectural welding?
Yes. We regularly weld armoured vehicle chassis, architectural metalwork, posts, columns and connection plates on extensions, refurbishments and bespoke projects, working to engineer details and alongside builders where needed.
4. Do you offer emergency or same-day repairs?
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 the type of job, we can also weld 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 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 we know the sizes.
10. Can you weld vehicle chassis for MOT?
We can often repair chassis sections, but only where it’s safe and practical. We’ll assess the corrosion and surrounding metal first and may decline the job if we believe a safe repair isn’t possible.
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 welding and metal fabrication 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 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 jobs?
We can confirm in writing what 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 Lewisham or nearby areas to check everything before giving a final price.
20. How do I book Custom Metal Repairs Lewisham?
Call 07700161796, send a WhatsApp message to 07747178880, or complete one of the enquiry forms on this page with photos and a brief description of the job, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
