What Welding & Fabrication Covers
Gate & Fence Framing
New gate builds and repairs to existing steel gates and fence framing — including automatic and security gates.
Handrails & Balustrades
Steel handrails, balustrades and staircases, built to be safe first and look good second — though we don't skip on the second part either.
Structural Repairs
Rust repair, cracked welds, bent or damaged metalwork — assessed and fixed rather than just patched over.
Custom Metalwork
One-off fabrication — outdoor furniture, steel benches, brackets, whatever the job calls for that doesn't fit a standard category.
Our Welding & Fabrication Process

Handover
Job checked over with you before we call it done.
Welding & Fabrication Pricing — What Affects the Cost
There's no honest single number — here's what actually moves the price.
Repair vs. new fabrication — a quick weld repair is a different job and price to a full custom gate build
Material — mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium all price differently
Complexity — a straightforward gate repair costs less than a custom balustrade with detailed design work
Access — mobile onsite jobs are generally more cost-effective than work that needs to come back to a workshop

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do mobile/onsite welding, or do I need to bring it to a workshop?+
Most gate, fence, handrail and repair work is done onsite at your property — that's the point of mobile welding.
What's the difference between mild steel and stainless steel for my job?+
Mild steel is the standard, cost-effective choice for most structural and fencing work. Stainless steel costs more but resists corrosion far better — worth it for anything exposed to salt air near the coast.
Can you repair a rusted or damaged gate instead of replacing it?+
Often yes — we assess the actual damage before recommending a full replacement. Rust repair and weld repairs are common jobs that don't need a whole new gate.
How much does a gate repair cost?+
As a rough guide, gate repairs typically run $400–$2,200 depending on the extent of the damage and materials involved. Simple weld repairs can be as low as $150–$900. Use our instant estimate tool below for a number closer to your job.
Can you build a custom piece from a design I have in mind?+
Yes — custom and one-off fabrication is something we regularly do, whether that's outdoor furniture, brackets, or something more specific to your property.
