Frequently Asked Questions – Boat Propeller Shaft Welding in Bexley
1. How much does boat propeller shaft welding in Bexley cost?
Local call-outs in Bexley usually start from around £120 for smaller shaft repairs and simple marine welding jobs. Larger or more complex work is priced based on time on site, amount of welding required, access, preparation and materials such as plates and consumables.
2. What areas do you cover?
We’re based in Bexley and generally cover Bexley, Bexleyheath, Welling, Sidcup, Crayford, Dartford and surrounding parts of South East London and nearby Kent. If you’re slightly outside these areas, just ask and we’ll confirm if we can attend and what the travel charge would be.
3. Can you weld propeller shafts and stern tubes?
Yes. We regularly weld propeller shafts, stern tubes, shaft collars and marine metalwork on private and commercial vessels in Bexley. Where possible, we work from your marine engineer’s details so the welds and plates are installed as specified for safety and inspection.
4. Do you offer emergency or same-day marine welding?
Where we can, yes. If you have an urgent marine welding issue in Bexley, call 07700161796 with your job details and photos. We’ll advise the earliest slot available and let you know if there is an additional emergency or out-of-hours call-out cost.
5. What metals can you weld on boats?
We mainly weld marine-grade mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium, which are the most common in propeller shafts, stern tubes and marine metalwork. Send photos and we’ll confirm what’s possible for your vessel.
6. Do I need to provide power at the marina or dock?
Standard 240V power on site is helpful and often keeps costs down. However, we can bring our own generator if needed. Please tell us in advance what power is available at your Bexley marina, boatyard or dock so we can plan accordingly.
7. Can you weld outdoors on boats?
Yes, we often weld outside, but we need reasonable weather and safe working conditions. Light rain and strong wind can affect weld quality and safety, so in poor conditions we may adjust the job or reschedule to ensure a safe, strong weld.
8. Can you work from my photos of the marine shaft?
Photos are extremely useful for giving a guide price, understanding access and seeing how bad the damage is. Final pricing may still depend on what we find once we arrive, but good photos and a short description from you in Bexley usually allow us to quote accurately.
9. Do you provide materials like plates and brackets?
Yes, we can supply plates, flat bar and small box section as part of the job. If larger or specific marine steel sections are required, we may need to order these in advance or discuss alternative options to get you up and running quickly.
10. Can you weld boat trailers and marine equipment?
We can often repair trailer frames, winch mounts and other marine equipment, but only where it is safe and practical to do so. We’ll assess the area first and may decline work if corrosion is too extensive or if welding would not be a safe long-term solution.
11. How do I prepare for your visit?
Clear the work area as much as reasonably possible, remove flammable items and rubbish, and ensure we can park close enough to run cables and equipment to the job location. Good access helps us work more safely and efficiently.
12. How long will you be on site?
Smaller marine jobs can often be completed within an hour or so, while shaft and larger work may take half a day or more. Once we have your photos and description, we’ll provide an estimated time on site for your particular job in Bexley.
13. Do you work evenings or weekends?
Yes, evening and weekend appointments are often possible, particularly for urgent or time-sensitive marine work where daytime access is difficult. These slots may carry a small premium, but they can be ideal for busy boat owners and marine businesses.
14. Are you insured?
Yes, we carry public liability insurance for on-site marine welding and fabrication work. Insurance details can be provided if required, for example when working for marinas, agents or on managed sites.
15. Will welding damage nearby boat finishes or paint?
Sparks from grinding and welding can damage paintwork, gelcoat and certain finishes, so we always protect nearby surfaces and ask that delicate items are moved if possible. We’ll discuss any risks on arrival and take precautions to minimise them.
16. Can you paint after welding?
We can prime or apply basic protective paint to welded areas as an optional extra to help prevent rust. Full decorative painting or colour matching is usually best done later by you or a marine painter once the metal has cooled and been checked.
17. Do you issue any paperwork for marine structural jobs?
We can confirm in writing what welding work has been completed, including the areas worked on. However, structural sign-off and calculations remain the responsibility of your marine engineer and surveyor.
18. What payment methods do you accept?
Bank transfer is usually preferred, but we can discuss other standard payment options if needed. Unless agreed otherwise in advance, payment is normally due on completion of the job in Bexley.
19. Can you come and quote in person first?
For many marine jobs, clear photos and a description are enough to provide a quote. For very large, complex or sensitive work, we may arrange a short site visit in Bexley first to confirm pricing and practical details.
