Cracked crane leg or a breached security fence at a dockside unit? Ring 07495 409006. Ipswich is our furthest town, so call outs here are by arrangement, and we will say honestly how soon we can help.
Norwich based. Ipswich call outs, about 43 miles, are by arrangement.
Breakdown welding near the docks
At the docks, a stopped crane or a jammed roller shutter can hold up a whole day's loading.
The 24/7 emergency welding line runs from our Norwich workshop, and Ipswich, roughly 43 miles south, sits at the edge of what we can reach quickly. A cracked crane leg, a jammed loading gate or a breached fence at a waterfront unit still gets a straight answer on 07495 409006 about how soon help can arrive.
Fully qualified welders on the van work mild steel and stainless steel, switching between MIG, TIG and MMA to suit the repair. A generator, grinders and stock steel for plating travel too, so a quayside unit or an open yard with no power supply is still workable.

What we weld on site
A cracked crane leg and a jammed roller shutter are different jobs with the same need, a welder on site with the right kit. These are the calls we take around Ipswich's waterfront and industrial units.
Crane frames, conveyor supports, guarding and stainless pipework break down on dockside and industrial units alike. Site rules come first, then a repair in place if possible, or a plate and brace to hold things until a proper section can be made.
Drawbars, chassis members and failed welds on the trailers running the A14 and A12 into Ipswich. Fixing it where it stands in the yard beats towing a trailer that has no business moving.
A gate that will not shut at the yard entrance, a post knocked by a lorry, or railings bent on a loading platform. The opening gets secured and the steel made safe first, with rehanging or rebuilding to follow.
When you ring 07495 409006
Six details help us bring the right kit. What broke and how it behaves. The material, whether mild steel, stainless or something else. Whereabouts near Ipswich, with a postcode. Van access at the dock or estate gate. Power nearby or not. Anything unsafe close to the work.
We make the site safe first. That might be a temporary weld, a plate or a prop to get a gate shutting or a unit secured again. Ipswich being our furthest run, the lasting repair often waits for a planned return once steel is ready, at a price agreed up front.
If anyone is hurt, or a structure or load could fall, call 999 first and keep everyone clear. Isolate the machine and its power before we arrive.
Urgent jobs and work that can wait
Ring 07495 409006 for anything urgent near Ipswich. A call gets answered faster than a form at any hour, and a photograph sent afterwards helps us judge what turned up. Commercial and domestic call outs both come our way, and site welders can be supplied to help finish a job.
Work that can wait suits an Ipswich job better, given the run down from Norwich. Send a description, photographs and rough sizes through the request a quote page for a free estimate. If a coded welder is needed, say which standard the job calls for.
By arrangement, not on call
Because Ipswich is roughly 43 miles from Norwich, most jobs here are planned rather than same day. Tell us what has failed and where on the estate or dockside you are, and we will say plainly whether we can reach you today or need to book a return visit.
Once the make safe is done we can return to Ipswich for the planned side: new guarding, platform repairs or a machine base, arranged around your operation.

The line runs 24/7, but Ipswich is our furthest town, so a night visit is agreed on the call rather than promised in advance. Ring 07495 409006 and we will say plainly whether we can reach you or need to book a return.
It comes down to what the van is already on and the run down the A140 and A14. No fixed response time gets quoted, and for Ipswich we say plainly when a booked visit beats promising a same day dash.
Yes, though Ipswich sits at the far end of our patch, about 43 miles from Norwich. Docks, Ransomes Europark and the town centre are all covered, arranged rather than assumed, with an honest answer on timing every time you call.
No, the generator on the van covers that, so a repair on an open quayside or an estate unit without a supply still goes ahead. Mention it if power happens to be close by, since it can save some setting up time.
Sometimes. Where the part can be welded properly in place, that visit finishes it. If new steel is needed, we make the unit safe, then bring the part down from our Norwich workshop on a second trip.
