Expert Marine Fabrication Ship Repair in Petersfield, Hampshire

Why does coded welding matter so much? Well, imagine you're out in rough weather and a critical structural joint fails because the weld wasn't up to scratch. It's a nightmare scenario. Most maritime insurance companies and class surveyors won't even look at a repair unless it's been done by a certified coded welder. Our team is fully accredited to BS EN 1090-1 standards and works to Execution Class 2 (EXC2). This means we've been independently audited to prove our welds are strong, consistent, and safe for structural use. Whether we're replacing shell plating or fixing a bulkhead, we follow strict Weld Procedure Specifications. It's about more than just sticking two bits of metal together; it's about providing the peace of mind that your repairs meet the highest industry standards. We take pride in the quality of our beads, ensuring every joint is as clean as it is strong.

We know that getting a vessel to a dry dock isn't always easy or cheap. Sometimes, the work needs to happen right where the boat is sitting. That’s why we operate fully equipped mobile welding units that serve Petersfield and the wider East Hampshire area. We can meet you at the docks, the marina, or even while you're on the hard for winter maintenance. It’s all about minimising your downtime. If you're a commercial operator, every day your ship is out of action is money down the drain. We work quickly and efficiently to get reactive repairs sorted so you can get back to work. From fixing cracked deck plates to installing new bow thrusters, we bring the tools and the expertise directly to you. Have you got an urgent repair that can't wait? Call us on 023 8272 1798 and we'll see how quickly we can get a team out to your location.

Marine metalwork covers a lot of ground, and we've seen it all. Our experience spans from heavy-duty commercial ship repairs to the finer details of private yacht maintenance. We're often called out for hull and deck repairs where corrosion has finally won the battle against the paint. We can cut out the tired, thinning steel and weld in fresh, marine-grade plating that restores the structural integrity of your hull. It's not just the big stuff, though. We also handle the internal structures that keep a ship functioning properly. Think ballast tanks, bulkheads, and engine mounts. These are the unsung heroes of any vessel, and they need to be in perfect condition. We're also experts in aluminium welding, which is essential for modern superstructures where weight is a factor but strength can't be compromised. No matter the scale of the job, we apply the same level of precision and care.

Sometimes, you just can't find the part you need 'off the shelf'. Maybe you need a specific set of boarding ladders, a bespoke anchor roller, or custom stainless steel railings that fit the unique lines of your deck. We specialise in custom marine fabrication using 316-grade stainless steel and marine-grade aluminium. These materials are chosen specifically for their ability to resist the corrosive effects of saltwater. If you've got a design in mind or even just a rough sketch on a napkin, we can help bring it to life. We work closely with boat owners and marine engineers to create functional, durable, and aesthetic metalwork. It’s not just about looking good, though; it’s about ensuring that every cleat, rail, and bracket is fit for purpose and built to last for years of salt-spray and sun. We can also assist with quay works and piling support if you're looking to upgrade your mooring or dockside facilities.
