New housing is rising all round Wymondham, and site steel does not always fit first time. Our mobile welder is about 10 miles up the A11, plant and power in the van, ready to alter a beam, add a cleat or fix a bracket before the next trade turns up.
Wymondham, about 10 miles south west of our Norwich workshop by the A11.
Site welding in south Norfolk
A beam that is 20 mm out holds up the bricklayers, the roofers and the programme.
Builders on the new estates round Wymondham want a welder who can be on the plot soon and away again soon. That is the point of mobile welding in Wymondham from Swift Fabrication. Our qualified welder comes with MIG and MMA sets, a generator for plots that have no supply yet, grinders, clamps and enough plate and angle to make cleats and packers.
Likely calls are a steel beam whose end plate must move, a post to weld to its baseplate, a goalpost frame to adjust, or brackets to carry a timber wall plate. Structural changes follow your engineer's instruction and are never guessed. The same van serves farms out towards Hingham and units at Gateway 11. Estimates are free, the sum is agreed up front, and coded welders are available on request.

Site welding in Wymondham
Tell us what the steel is, what the drawing shows and what is really there. If the engineer has approved a change, send that as well, and we will arrive equipped to do exactly that.
End plates and cleats added or moved, stiffeners welded in, baseplates fixed to posts, beams shortened or spliced to the engineer's detail, and packers or brackets made up at the tailgate. Fresh welds can be cleaned and primed to match the surrounding steel.
West of the town it is farmland. Trailer drawbars, loader brackets, yard gates, barn door tracks and implement frames get welded in the yard off our generator, whatever supply the farm has.
Along Ayton Road, Browick Road and at Gateway 11 we weld benches, guards, brackets and yard gates for workshops and engineering firms. At new homes in Wymondham and Hethersett we mend steel gates, posts and railings. Stainless calls for TIG. With aluminium, talk to us first.
How a site visit works
Email the engineer's drawing or sketch with a couple of photographs of the steel as it stands, a tape measure in shot if something is out. Add the plot or site name in Wymondham, the site manager's number and whether scaffold or props block the way.
With the workshop about 10 miles off, travel adds little to your estimate. If a plate, a cleat or a short length of section has to be cut and drilled first, that can happen at the bench and come out with the welder. Pricing from the drawing and photographs is free, and you approve the amount before the van sets out.
Builder's note: altering a structural beam needs your engineer's approval first. Get it in writing and we can do the rest.
Before we come to site
Give the section size, a 203 UC or a 178 UB for example, what has to change and by how much. Say if the steel is primed, painted or galvanised, and if it is already carrying load. Loaded steel may need propping, as the engineer directs, before heat goes into it.
Then the site: induction time, hot work permit, parking, how far the van will stand from the weld, working height and whether a scaffold or tower is up. Timber frame, membranes and insulation burn, so tell us what is next to the joint so that it can be protected.
Around Wymondham
Wymondham is among the nearest towns to our Norwich base. The A11 leads directly to Gateway 11 and to the Ayton Road and Browick Road areas, and the new estates on the edge of town are not far beyond. Hethersett is passed on the way, and the Hethel engineering cluster is close by.
Hingham and its farms lie to the west, Mulbarton to the east, and Attleborough is the next town down the A11. All are an easy drive, for planned work or for urgent work. If a failure has stopped your site, phone 07495 409006 whenever it happens and ask how soon a welder can set out.
Steel fabrication in WymondhamWymondham welding questions
Usually, yes, once your structural engineer has agreed the change. Moving or adding end plates and cleats, shortening a beam or welding in stiffeners can all be done on the plot. We follow the engineer's detail and do not design the alteration ourselves.
No. Many plots round Wymondham have no supply until late in the build, so we weld off the generator in the van. The van does need to park within a sensible cable run of the steel, so tell us about scaffolds and spoil heaps.
Yes, and Mulbarton and the villages between them. Wymondham is only about 10 miles from our workshop, so each of these is a short trip. On farms out Hingham way the generator does the work, and the travel element of an estimate stays small.
That depends on the day, and we will not promise a time we cannot keep. Being about 10 miles away helps, though. Simple plates, cleats and packers can often be cut and drilled at our Norwich workshop and sent out with the welder, which beats making them on site. Ring with the sizes and we will say what is possible.
Yes. If you looked for a welder near me from Wymondham, a dropped steel gate, a railing panel clipped by a delivery lorry or a trailer hitch plate is worth a call. We work on the steel only.
