Yard gate hanging off a post at Gateway 11, a column clipped by a forklift on Ayton Road, a trailer hitch split on a farm near Hingham? Ring 07495 409006 at any hour. Wymondham is a short run down the A11 for our 24 hour welder.
Wymondham, about 10 miles south west of our Norwich workshop on the A11.
Ten miles down the A11
Things get hit, dropped, reversed into and worn out. When it happens after hours, you need somebody to pick up the phone.
After Norwich itself, Wymondham is about as near to our workshop as a town gets, roughly 10 miles of dual carriageway. That makes Swift Fabrication a sensible first call for emergency welding in Wymondham, whether you run a unit on Browick Road, a building site on the edge of town or a farm out towards Mulbarton. The number is 07495 409006. We will tell you straight where the van is and how soon it can be with you.
The work here is mostly mild steel, and mostly damage, not wear: bent, torn or snapped by something heavier. So the van is loaded for cutting out and replacing as well as welding, with box section, angle, flat bar and plate on board beside the MIG, TIG and MMA sets, grinders and a generator. We need no power from you.

Wymondham call outs
A town adding units, houses and traffic this quickly has plenty of new steel standing where lorries turn. Urgent work here is likely to be one of three sorts.
Hinges sheared, a leaf dropped on to the tarmac, a sliding gate jumped off its track, a post bent by a reversing trailer, fence panels flattened. We lift, straighten, weld and brace until the yard locks, and come back to replace posts or leaves made in our workshop. We repair the steel, not the automation.
A stair stringer buckled, a handrail torn from its fixings, a canopy post hit, cladding rails bent, a site beam that needs a cleat moved before the inspector calls. We make it safe first. Anything structural is repaired to your engineer's say so.
Between Wymondham, Hingham and Hethersett there is working farmland, and Hethel has its engineering firms. Trailer drawbars, loader headstocks, yard scrapers, workshop frames, jigs and stands, welded in the yard or the unit so the job carries on.
Day or night: 07495 409006
Because we are close, the temptation is to say come and look. Better to spend a minute on the phone. What is damaged, and how: hit, dropped, worn or rusted? What size is the steel, roughly, and is it mild, galvanised or stainless? Which estate, road and unit, with a postcode? Can we park beside it? Is there power? Is anything nearby fragile, flammable or open to the public?
Then the usual order. Safe first, which with a damaged gate or stair often means taking weight off it and bracing it. Working second, where a sound repair can be done there and then. Permanent third: with base so near, new posts, leaves, stringers or rails can be made in the workshop and fitted on a return visit. You approve the cost before we pick up a tool.
A heavy steel gate or stair that has come loose can fall. Keep people well back, switch off any automation, and if anyone is hurt ring 999 first.
Now, this week, or whenever suits
If it cannot wait, ring 07495 409006 and talk to us. Photos help once we have spoken, particularly of hinges, fixings and the damaged ends. Landlords, unit holders, builders, farmers and householders in Wymondham can all ring the same number, and we can lend site welders to a contractor who is a pair of hands short.
If it can wait, plan it. A gate that still locks, or a stair that is only marked, is a job for a free estimate, not a call out. Use the request a quote page with photos and sizes. Building near Wymondham and need a coded welder for site work? Tell us the standard or coding required and we will confirm what we can supply.
When a gate has failed
A steel yard gate is heavy enough to injure. If a leaf is leaning or off a hinge, isolate the automation, cone off both sides and leave it where it is. If the yard must be secured tonight, tell us the width of the opening so we bring the steel to close it.
Once you are secure, we can quote for the lasting fix: new gates and railings, replacement posts and panels, or security fencing for your yard, made to measure in Norwich.
Gates and railings in WymondhamWymondham welder FAQs
Yes. Hethersett, Hingham, Mulbarton, Hethel and the villages either side of the A11 are part of the same call out as Wymondham. Hethersett is nearer to us still, Hingham a few miles further on.
The distance is on your side, but we do not put a number on it. The van could be in Wymondham already or at the far side of the county. Ring, and you will be told where we are and when we can realistically arrive.
We repair the steel: leaves, posts, hinges, tracks, brackets and stops. Motors, control boards and safety edges belong to your automation installer, and should be isolated before we start. Once the steel is true again they can recommission it.
We can make damaged steel safe, prop or brace it and secure the opening. If a column, beam or bracing member is involved, a structural engineer should look at it, and we carry out the permanent repair to their instructions.
Yes. A driveway gate that will not close, railings knocked down or a broken steel step all count. You get the same treatment as a factory: a plain answer on timing and a price agreed before we start.
