Stopped line at Sweet Briar, split frame at Rackheath, yard gate stuck open in Hellesdon? Ring 07495 409006, day or night. Norwich is our base, so your 24 hour welder starts out from your own city.
Norwich is home. Our workshop is in the city, so no job is nearer.
Emergency welder, Norwich based
Most call outs begin with a long drive. In Norwich we are already here, and that shortens everything.
Swift Fabrication is based in the city, and emergency welding in Norwich is the shortest trip we make. The airport estate, Bowthorpe, Longwater and Broadland Business Park are all a run round the ring road, the A47 southern bypass or the Broadland Northway. Ring 07495 409006, say what has failed, and you will hear straight away how soon we can be at your door, given where the van is at that moment.
City sites tend to be tight: a plant room behind a food factory, a loading bay shared with next door, a gated yard off Salhouse Road. The van brings MIG, TIG and MMA sets, a generator, grinders, clamps and a stock of plate and section, so our qualified welders can repair mild or stainless steel wherever the break is, on their own power.

City call outs
The city's estates mix food production, engineering, trade counters and storage yards. The faults differ, but each one wants a welder and the right kit beside the break.
A machine frame split at a corner, a conveyor leg torn from its baseplate, a holed hopper or a leaking stainless pipe joint. On food sites we follow your hygiene rules and hot work permit, screen off the area and clean down before the line restarts.
A sliding gate off its track, a swing gate with a snapped hinge, shutter guides bent by a forklift, a bollard flattened by a delivery lorry. We get the opening shut and lockable tonight, then come back to put it right.
There is always building and refurbishment going on in Norwich. A digger bucket with a torn edge, a trailer drawbar that has let go, a bent fire escape or handrail, a bracket needed before the morning pour. Ring and a welder comes to site.
Before you ring 07495 409006
Give us the estate and unit number as well as the postcode, because one postcode can cover a whole row of units. Then say what has broken and what it does, whether it is mild steel, stainless or something else, how a van gets in after hours and who holds the gate key, whether there is a socket nearby, and any hazards such as dust, fuel, product or people working close by.
On arrival the first task is safety: a prop, a brace, a plate or a holding weld so nothing moves and the site can be locked. With the workshop in the same city, a part that needs making can be cut, drilled and welded there and brought back, without a long round trip. You hear the price and agree it before any work begins.
Someone hurt, or steel that could come down? Dial 999 first and keep everybody back. Isolate and lock off the machine before our welder gets there.
Tonight's job and next month's job
Pick up the phone: 07495 409006. Nobody reads a web form at three in the morning, so ring, then text a photo once we have spoken. We work for factories, landlords, builders, shops and householders across the city, and can send site welders to help your own team finish a job.
Work that is not urgent goes better when planned in daylight. Use the request a quote page to send photos, sizes and a short description, and a free estimate will follow. If the lasting repair calls for a coded welder, name the standard or coding involved and we will confirm what we can supply.
A note on Norwich
Being a local firm does not mean the van is always in Norwich. It may be on a farm near Dereham or out at the coast when you ring. We will say where we are and give you a realistic arrival time, not a figure picked to win the job.
After the urgent repair comes the cause. We can return to your site for planned work such as new machine bases, guarding, access platforms and machine moves, set around your shifts.

Norwich is our shortest run, but there is no fixed figure. It turns on where the van is when you ring and what the city traffic is doing. You get a realistic arrival time on the phone and we keep you posted on the way.
Yes. Tell us your hot work permit and hygiene rules when you ring, and have someone on site who can sign us in and isolate the machine. We screen the work, control sparks and spatter, and clean down before handing the area back.
We deal with the steel. That means welding or bracing a gate, post, shutter guide or frame so the opening can be shut and locked overnight. Shutter motors and controls are for your door company. We then return to repair or remake the steelwork.
Yes. A driveway gate hanging off its post, railings flattened by a van or a broken steel stair are all fair reasons to ring. We make it safe first, and anything that needs remaking is made in our workshop and fitted on a second visit.
