Food that will not keep
Steel can sit broken for a week. What travels along it often cannot sit for an afternoon.
Attleborough earns much of its living from food processing and from the haulage that carries it up and down the A11. Both run to a clock set by shelf life and delivery slots. Swift Fabrication offers emergency welding in Attleborough through a 24/7 call out on 07495 409006. Say what has given way, and we will say plainly where the van is and how soon it can be with you.
The run from our Norwich workshop is about 17 miles, dual carriageway for most of it, so Haverscroft and Bunns Bank are among the easier places for us to reach after dark. Our qualified welders carry TIG for stainless, MIG for frames and guards, MMA for heavy or weathered steel, and a generator, so the repair never depends on finding a free socket.

Attleborough call outs
A processing line has hours before product is lost. A loaded trailer has a delivery slot to hit. A farm or a race team has daylight or a start time. All three want a welder beside the break.
Split seams on stainless hoppers and chutes, conveyor legs pulled off their baseplates, cracked frames under filling and packing machines, guard posts and pipe brackets. Stainless is TIG welded with brushes and discs kept for stainless only, so no carbon steel is dragged into the surface to rust later.
A cracked landing leg or drawbar under a loaded trailer, a dock leveller frame torn from its fixings, a barrier post or yard gate clipped on the way in. We weld it where it stands at Haverscroft, Bunns Bank or Snetterton, so the load can still go out.
Old Buckenham, Great Ellingham and Banham are farming country, so expect grain trailers, loader brackets and livestock handling kit. And if a race trailer ramp or an awning frame fails at Snetterton the evening before a meeting, the same number applies.
Ring first: 07495 409006
Start with the clock: how long before product is lost or the lorry must leave. Then the part that has failed, what it carries, and whether it is stainless or mild steel. Is the floor wet from washdown, and can open product be cleared or covered? Who signs the hot work permit at night? Finish with the postcode, the gate to use, and anything close by that burns, such as packaging, pallets or oil.
On site the order is fixed. First stop anything moving or falling, with a prop, a clamp or a tack. Next comes a holding repair good enough to run the shift out, such as a stitched crack or a welded patch. The lasting repair is done there and then if the steel allows, or made in our Norwich workshop and fitted at your next planned stop. You agree the price before an arc is struck.
If a person is hurt or steelwork could collapse, ring 999 before you ring us. Switch off, lock off and keep staff away from the machine until our welder is with you.
The urgent and the merely annoying
The number is 07495 409006, and a voice call is the quickest route whatever the hour. Follow it with a photo by text so the welder sees the break before loading the van. Attleborough factories, hauliers, farms, landlords and householders can all ring, and we lend site welders to maintenance teams when a job is too big for them alone.
A fault that is only a nuisance is cheaper fixed as planned work. Put photos, rough sizes and a few lines about it on the request a quote page and a free estimate will come back. Where a customer audit or an insurer expects a coded welder for the final repair, give us the standard or coding and we will confirm what we can supply.
Welding on a food site
Washdown water and electric welding do not mix, so squeegee and dry the area before we get there. Clear or sheet over open product within a few metres. Tell us if the part is stainless, because separate tools are used on it. Have somebody ready to watch for smoulders after we finish.
Emergency repairs tend to show up what was undersized to begin with. Heavier frames, proper guarding, access platforms and machine moves can be priced as separate planned work in Attleborough, fitted around production.
Machinery installation, AttleboroughAttleborough welder FAQs
Attleborough is about 17 miles from our workshop, mostly on the A11, which is quick at night. We still will not quote a fixed figure, because the van may be elsewhere in Norfolk when you ring. You will be told where it is and when to expect it.
Give us the deadline in the first sentence of the call. We cannot promise to beat it, but knowing it shapes the repair: a holding weld to finish the run, then the full job once the line is empty. If we cannot reach you in time, we say so at once.
We do. Your permit system, site induction and hygiene controls apply to us as they would to any contractor, and a risk assessment and method statement can be supplied. Mention hairnets, tool counts or metal detection rules on the call, so nothing holds the welder at the gatehouse.
Often, yes. Landing legs, drawbars, chassis rails and headboards can usually be welded with the load on, provided the trailer is chocked and supported and nothing flammable sits near the heat. If it must be unloaded first, you will hear that before we set off.
Yes. Snetterton circuit and business park, Banham, Old Buckenham, Great Ellingham and the farms between them are all reached from the same stretch of the A11. Householders with a failed gate or railing are welcome to ring too.
