Something split on a boatyard trailer, a barn frame needs altering, or a gate has come off its hinge? Our mobile welder brings the plant and the power out to Beccles and the farms around it.

We bring our own powerMIG, TIG, MMA

Beccles, about 18 miles from our Norwich workshop, over the A146.

On site repairs across the Waveney valley

A welder who turns up ready to start.

If it will not fit on a trailer, or the yard cannot spare it, the welder comes to the job instead.

Swift Fabrication sends a mobile welder out to Beccles from our Norwich workshop, carrying plant, a generator, grinders, clamps and steel on board. Most repairs and alterations in mild or stainless steel, whether on a farm, a boatyard or in town, are finished in a single visit.

We take on commercial and domestic work alike, a cracked trailer chassis on a Waveney farm, a bracket for a unit on Ellough Industrial Estate, or a gate to rehang at a house near the quay. You get a free estimate and the price agreed before we start. Ask about a coded welder if the job needs one, and if it grows into new steelwork, our workshop can build it.

What we weld on site in Beccles

On site welding for farms, yards and boatyards.

Tell us what it is, what it is made from, and where it stands. We will say whether it can be welded where it lies or is better brought back to Norwich.

01 / Farm and boatyard kit

Farm, trailer and boatyard repairs.

Split chassis rails, worn buckets, cracked hitches and tired loader brackets, common on farms flanking the Waveney, plus hull fittings and staging on the boatyards. We grind out the crack, weld it, then plate or stiffen where needed.

02 / Steelwork on site

Alterations and fittings on site.

Brackets, cleats and pipe supports get welded on, frames altered when plans change mid job, and handrails, platforms and guarding put right around town and the industrial estate.

03 / Stainless and gates

Stainless work, gates and handrails.

Stainless pipework and flanges get TIG welded, alongside fixes to driveway, farm and security gates, their hinges, posts and railings. Aluminium can sometimes be handled too, worth a straight question about what is achievable.

How a Beccles job works

A call, a free quote, a sound weld.

Describe what has broken or needs fitting, tell us the material, and roughly whereabouts near Beccles you are. A handful of phone photos usually shows us the thickness and the access, and whether it wraps up in one visit.

A fixed call out price does not exist here, the drive down the A146, hours on site and materials all move the number. Photos alone are often enough to price a small job. Whatever figure we reach, you agree it before work begins.

Boatyards along the Waveney and farms in the villages around Beccles are regular territory for our mobile welder, so getting there is rarely a problem.

Before you ring

What to tell us about the job.

Describe the item, its material if known, its rough thickness and what has gone wrong with it. Photos of the damage and its surroundings tell us what plant and steel to bring on the trip out to Beccles.

Give us the site details too, the address, parking for a van, whether the work sits at height or near anything flammable, and any permit or induction required. Flag it if work has already ground to a halt.

Reaching Beccles

Mobile welders working the Waveney valley.

We are based in Norwich, and the run out to Beccles follows the A146 through the Waveney valley, taking in Worlingham and Bungay along the way, with Loddon not far off the route.

Lowestoft sits just up the same road, and we travel further into Suffolk, to Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds, by arrangement. For anything that cannot wait, call 07495 409006 at any hour.

Mobile welding questions, Beccles

Questions we hear most often.

Do you need power on a farm outside Beccles?

No. Our own generator lives on the van, so a field, a yard or a barn with no supply near Beccles causes no trouble. Got a supply on site already? Mention it and we might use that instead.

What metals can you weld on site?

Day to day we work mild steel and stainless, choosing MIG, TIG or MMA to suit the material and the conditions. Something in aluminium or an unusual metal? Ask, and we will be straight about what is doable.

How quickly can a welder reach Beccles?

It comes down to what is already in the diary and where you sit along our A146 route. A date that suits you is set for planned jobs, while urgent ones go through our 24/7 line, where we will tell you plainly how soon we can arrive.

What does a mobile welding call out cost?

Distance, hours on site, materials and access all move the figure, so there is no set price for a call out. Photos and a description usually get you a free estimate, with the number agreed before anything starts. Smaller budgets are welcome.

Is it better to weld here or bring it to you?

An item that moves easily is often cheaper handled in our workshop, where conditions suit a tidy job. Something fixed, heavy or needed back in service today is better welded where it stands in Beccles. We will tell you which fits.
