Expert Metal Repairs Alterations in Ferndown, Dorset

It's often a bit of a gut punch when a critical piece of equipment fails or a structural beam needs changing. You might be worried about the cost of a total replacement or the delay it'll cause your build. Most of the time, a clever alteration or a precision repair is all that's needed. We handle everything from fixing rusted garden gates and historical ironwork to complex structural modifications for home extensions. Imagine you're knocking through a wall in a traditional Ferndown home and find the existing RSJ is just a few inches short for the new layout—that's exactly where we come in. We can modify, plate, and reinforce your steel right there on-site or back in our workshop.

For our industrial and construction clients, we know that if your machinery isn't moving, you're losing money. Diggers, buckets, and trailers take a massive beating on Dorset sites. We're specialists in 'reverse engineering' broken parts that you can't easily buy off the shelf anymore. Using plasma and oxy-fuel cutting, we can remove the damaged sections and weld in high-strength replacements. Our team is skilled in MIG, TIG, and Stick welding, meaning we can handle everything from delicate aluminium components to heavy-duty carbon steel frames. If it's broken, we've likely seen it before and, more importantly, we've likely fixed it.

Why does 'coded welding' matter? Well, if you're dealing with load-bearing structures, you don't want to take any chances. Our welders are fully certified and we're UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1, approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2). This sounds like a lot of jargon, but it basically means our work is independently audited to ensure it's safe and compliant with UK Building Regulations. When we perform a repair or an alteration on a structural beam or a marine vessel, you get the assurance that the weld is just as strong as the original metal. We don't do 'patch jobs'; we do permanent, certified solutions that your building inspector or insurance company will be happy with.

Sometimes the metal that needs fixing isn't exactly portable. You can't exactly bring a mezzanine floor or a fixed staircase to us, can you? That's why we operate fully equipped mobile units that bring the workshop to your doorstep in Ferndown and the surrounding 25-mile radius. Whether you're at a boatyard in Poole, a farm near Wimborne, or a residential site in the heart of Dorset, we've got the gear to get the job done on-site. It's a convenient, no-nonsense service designed to get your project moving again with minimal fuss. If you're stuck with a metal problem that's going nowhere, just give us a call on 023 8272 1798.
