Swift Fabrication is a Norwich firm, so a mobile welder is never far from you here. The van carries welding sets and its own power to yards, building sites, units and houses across the city and the ring of villages round it.
Norwich is home ground. Our workshop is here, so the city is our shortest run.
On site welding around the city
A short drive makes a small repair worth a visit, not only the big ones.
Our workshop is in the city, which makes mobile welding in Norwich the easiest work for us to reach. A fully qualified welder turns up with MIG, TIG and MMA sets, a generator, grinders, clamps and steel stock in the van, so a repair in Hellesdon, Bowthorpe or Trowse is normally dealt with on the first call.
City work is mixed. One day it is a plant trailer in a yard off Sweet Briar Road, the next a beam that needs altering on a refurbishment near the centre, or a side gate that has dropped on its hinges in Thorpe St Andrew. Business or household, the estimate is free and the figure is settled with you first. If the job wants a coded welder, say so.
Structural steel in Norwich
What we weld in Norwich
Say what the item is and which side of the city it sits on. With the workshop so near, we can also tell you when carrying it in to us would cost you less.
On the Airport Industrial Estate, at Longwater or along Salhouse Road, the likely jobs are a cracked trailer frame, torn skip or bucket plate, bent ramps and damaged yard barriers. We cut back to sound metal, weld it up and add plate where the steel has worn thin.
Refurbishments and extensions across the city throw up changes. We add cleats and stiffeners to beams, trim or extend steel that will not fit, and fix brackets, working to the engineer's detail.
For householders in Sprowston, Taverham, Drayton, Hethersett and Poringland the usual trouble is dropped gates, snapped hinges, loose railings and wobbly handrails. We repair the steel itself. Stainless is TIG welded, and if yours is aluminium, check with us first.
How a Norwich job runs
Message us two or three pictures with a note of what the item is and whereabouts in Norwich it stands. That is normally enough for us to judge what it is made of, how heavy the section is and how near the van can get to it.
Being local keeps the travel part of your estimate small, which is why even a half hour repair can be worth ringing about. The rest of the figure comes from the hours on the job, the steel used and whether it wants MIG, TIG or stick. Nothing is welded until you have agreed the price.
Local note: terraced streets and the city centre can be tight for parking. Tell us where a van can stop near the job.
Before you ring
Describe the part, say if you think it is mild or stainless, give a rough thickness and explain how it failed. Pictures of the break and of what surrounds it let us put the right wire, rods and steel on the van.
Then the place. Give us the postcode, where the van can pull up, any work off a ladder or tower, and anything close by that could catch light, such as fuel, timber or insulation. On a building site or in a factory, mention inductions and hot work permits.
Where we work locally
Hellesdon, Bowthorpe, Rackheath and Broadland Business Park are all an easy run from our base, using the A47 southern bypass and the Broadland Northway to get round the city. The A11 and A140 carry us out to the villages on the south side.
Beyond the city the same van covers the rest of Norfolk and crosses into Suffolk, so if your firm has sites in several East Anglia towns, one phone number does for all of them. When something breaks and cannot wait for morning, 07495 409006 is answered round the clock.
All our steelwork services in NorwichNorwich welding questions
Yes. Taverham, Drayton, Sprowston, Thorpe St Andrew, Hethersett and Poringland are a short run from the workshop, as are the other villages ringing the city. Give us the postcode when you ring and we will confirm it.
Often, yes, and for people in Norwich it can be the cheaper route. If the item fits in a van or on a trailer, ring first and we will fix a time with you. Anything fixed down or too heavy to shift is welded where it stands.
We will. If you searched for a welder near me from a Norwich postcode, a dropped gate, a cracked tow hitch or a loose handrail is exactly the sort of job that pays to call about. Send a picture and we will say if it suits the van or the bench.
Yes. The generator travels with us, so a shell with no supply connected is not a problem. Tell us about parking, unloading, the site induction and any hot work permit. Structural alterations are done to the engineer's detail, and a coded welder can be supplied on request.
Nowhere is quicker for us to get to, but it still turns on what is booked that day. Planned work gets a date that suits you. For urgent repairs the call out line is staffed 24/7.
