Frequently Asked Questions – Car Footplate Welding in Bexley
1. How much does car footplate welding in Bexley cost?
Local call-outs in Bexley usually start from around £120 for smaller footplate repairs and simple welding jobs. Larger or more complex work is priced based on time on site, the 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 vehicle footplates and chassis?
Yes. We specialise in welding vehicle footplates, chassis rails, brackets and structural metalwork on cars, vans, trailers and commercial vehicles across Bexley.
4. Do you offer emergency or same-day welding?
Where we can, yes. If you have an urgent vehicle footplate 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?
We mainly weld mild steel and structural steel, which are the most common in vehicle footplates and chassis. In some situations we can also weld stainless steel and aluminium, depending on thickness, location and access. Send photos and we’ll confirm what’s possible.
6. Do I need to provide power?
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 property or site so we can plan accordingly.
7. Can you weld outdoors?
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?
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 footplate patches, flat bar and small box section as part of the job. If larger or specific 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 vehicle chassis for MOT?
We can often repair certain chassis sections, outriggers or brackets, 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 vehicle. Good access helps us work more safely and efficiently.
12. How long will you be on site?
Smaller jobs can often be completed within an hour or so, while structural 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 vehicle repair in Bexley.
13. Do you work evenings or weekends?
Yes, evening and weekend appointments are often possible, particularly for urgent or time-sensitive work where daytime access is difficult. These slots may carry a small premium, but they can be ideal for busy vehicle owners and businesses.
14. Are you insured?
Yes, we carry public liability insurance for on-site vehicle welding and fabrication work. Insurance details can be provided if required, for example when working for garages, fleet operators or managed sites.
15. Will welding damage nearby glass or paint?
Sparks from grinding and welding can damage glass, paintwork and certain finishes, so we always protect nearby surfaces and ask that vehicles or 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 decorator once the metal has cooled and been checked.
17. Do you issue any paperwork for 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 structural engineer and building control officer.
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 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.
