Expert Marine Fabrication Ship Repair in Ringwood, Hampshire

Have you ever wondered why your insurance company or marine surveyor is so particular about who touches your vessel's structure? It's because in the marine environment, a single weak weld can be disastrous. That's why we don't cut corners. Our team consists of highly skilled coded welders, certified to the highest industry standards. We're UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1 and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2) structural steelwork. This isn't just a badge on our wall; it's your guarantee that every joint we weld on your ship or boat is performed to a proven, audited procedure. Whether we're working with mild steel, carbon steel, or marine-grade aluminium, we follow strict Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS). It means your repairs aren't just 'good enough'—they're fully compliant with UK regulations and maritime safety standards, keeping your crew, your passengers, and your investment safe.

Is your vessel currently stuck in dock waiting for critical repairs? We know that every hour your ship isn't moving is an hour of lost revenue or missed leisure time. Our ship repair services are designed to be fast, effective, and incredibly durable. We handle all aspects of structural maritime maintenance, including shell plating repairs, strengthening bulkheads, and fixing ballast tanks. If you've suffered collision damage or the years of saltwater have finally thinned your hull, we can step in with precision cutting and welding to restore the structural integrity of your vessel. We're also experienced in more technical modifications, such as bow thruster installations or deck reinforcements for heavy equipment. No matter the scale of the task, we focus on minimising your downtime while ensuring the finished work meets Lloyd's standards or your specific class approval requirements.

Sometimes you need something that simply doesn't exist in a catalogue. Maybe it's a bespoke set of railings for a yacht, a custom-built ladder for a commercial trawler, or a specialized bracket for offshore equipment. Because the marine environment is so corrosive, we specialise in working with 316 marine-grade stainless steel and high-grade aluminium. These materials require a delicate touch and a lot of experience to weld correctly without compromising their corrosion resistance. We can work from your rough sketches or detailed engineering drawings to create architectural-quality metalwork that looks fantastic and, more importantly, lasts for years in the harshest conditions. From polished handrails and balustrades to heavy-duty deck fittings and gangways, we build everything to survive the relentless spray of the South Coast.

It isn't always practical to bring your vessel to a workshop, and we completely understand that. That's why we operate fully equipped mobile welding units across Ringwood and the surrounding 25-mile radius. We can meet you dockside, at a marina, or even at a private mooring in the New Forest. Our mobile teams carry the latest gear for MIG, TIG, and Stick welding, allowing us to perform high-quality repairs right where the boat sits. Imagine you've found a crack in a deck support just days before a scheduled departure—our reactive repair service is designed for exactly that scenario. We bring the expertise, the tools, and the certified skills directly to you, saving you the hassle and expense of transporting large components or moving the entire vessel for minor structural fixes.
