Expert Marine Fabrication Ship Repair in Bishop'S Waltham, Hampshire

When it comes to marine engineering, 'good enough' simply doesn't cut it. Your insurance provider and maritime registry require a certain standard of work, and that's exactly what we deliver. Our team is fully UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1 and we're approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2) structural steelwork. What does that mean for you? It means every weld we perform on your ship's hull, ballast tanks, or bulkheads is carried out by a certified coded welder. We work with everything from heavy-duty mild steel to marine-grade 316 stainless steel and aluminium. We follow strict Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS) to ensure that every joint isn't just strong, but built to last in the harsh, corrosive environment of the South Coast. Why risk the integrity of your vessel with anyone less than a specialist?

Think about the last time your vessel was in dry-dock. Was the shell plating looking a bit thin? Maybe you've had a minor collision that’s left a nasty dent in the bow. We handle the heavy lifting of maritime engineering, focusing on the structural bones of your boat. Our services include replacing worn hull sections, repairing internal bulkheads, and reinforcing deck structures. We also handle technical modifications like bow thruster installations, which can make a massive difference in how your vessel handles in tight spots around Southampton Docks. We're used to working in the tight, awkward spaces found on ships, and we don't mind getting our hands dirty to ensure the job's done right. We're here to minimise your downtime because we know that a ship in port isn't making any money.

It’s not all about the heavy hull repairs; sometimes you need the finer details sorted out too. We're experts in bespoke maritime metalwork, creating custom components that are as functional as they are durable. Do you need a new set of safety railings, a custom-built gangway, or perhaps a replacement ladder for the engine room? We fabricate these in our workshop and can fit them directly to your vessel. We use high-quality marine-grade stainless steel to prevent that unsightly 'tea staining' and rust that ruins the look of a good boat. Because we're local to Bishop'S Waltham, we can easily pop over to take precise measurements, ensuring that whatever we build fits your boat's unique layout perfectly. If you can sketch it, we can probably build it.

Issues don't always happen when it's convenient, do they? If you've got an emergency repair that needs doing dockside or even on-board, our mobile welding units are ready to roll. We're based just a stone's throw from the major hubs in Hampshire and can be on-site quickly to provide reactive repairs. Whether it’s a cracked bracket on a winch or a leaking deck plate, we bring our expert tools—including MIG, TIG, and Stick welding gear—directly to you. This mobile service is a lifesaver for vessel operators in Bishop'S Waltham and Winchester who can't easily move their boat to a shipyard for minor structural work. We’re fully insured and follow all safety protocols, so you can have total peace of mind while we work on your property.
