The marine environment is incredibly harsh. Saltwater and constant movement cause corrosion and fatigue that standard steelwork cannot handle. Specialist marine fabrication uses the right materials and welding techniques to make sure repairs and new parts last. Being based in Southampton, we understand these specific challenges and provide work that stands up to the sea.

We offer a wide range of ship repair services, from fixing hull damage to repairing internal structural steelwork. Our team handles deck repairs, superstructure modifications, and the replacement of worn-out metal components. We work on commercial vessels, private boats, and offshore structures throughout Hampshire.

Yes. For marine engineering, the quality of the weld is a safety issue. Our welders are coded to BS EN standards, which means their work is tested and certified. This is particularly important for high-stress areas of a vessel or for parts that must meet strict maritime insurance and safety inspections.

By catching small issues like minor cracks or thinning metal early, you avoid major failures while at sea. Regular vessel maintenance and inspections allow us to carry out small repairs before they turn into expensive, time-consuming problems. This keeps your boat in the water and working rather than stuck in a dry dock.

We have fully equipped mobile welding units that allow us to perform dockside repairs. We can come to your berth in Southampton or surrounding ports to carry out on-board welding. This saves you the trouble of moving the vessel to a specific workshop for minor or medium-sized metalwork jobs.

We have the capacity to manage significant vessel modifications. If you need to change the layout of a deck, add new equipment platforms, or reinforce the hull, we can fabricate and install the necessary structural steelwork. We work closely with marine surveyors to make sure all modifications are safe and compliant.
