Welder in Gravesend
Welding and steelwork for a town that has faced the Thames for centuries. Free quotes, no obligation.
Working in Gravesend
Gravesend has always looked at the river. Its Town Pier is the oldest surviving cast iron pier in the world, and behind the riverfront the town is street after street of Victorian terraces, with newer estates filling in behind them.
River air is hard on metal. Iron and steel near the Thames rust faster than they do ten miles inland, which makes welding repairs a fact of life here: railings, gates, brackets and balconies all eventually need cutting back to good metal and building up again.
Steel and welding for Gravesend
Structural steel for the houses: beams over knocked-through openings, steel for lofts and extensions in the terraces, and adjustable steel legs, props, while the wall is out. Made to the engineer's numbers, delivered when the builder needs it.
And the rust work the riverside creates: corroded railings and gates repaired or remade, metal furniture and fittings brought back from the edge, welding done on site where the thing cannot move.
