Welder in West Malling

Steelwork and welding done carefully, for a town where the buildings are older than the trade. Free quotes, no obligation.

Working in West Malling

West Malling is one of Kent's best-kept small towns: a Georgian high street, St Leonard's Tower standing since the Normans, and a conservation area that keeps it all looking the way it does.

Working on houses like these is a different discipline. The steel that opens up an eighteenth-century wall goes in behind old brick and old timber, and the job is to carry the load without bruising anything that took three hundred years to get here.

Steel and welding for West Malling

Structural beams and posts for openings and extensions, measured to the building as it actually is rather than as the drawing hoped, because old walls are never square. Adjustable steel legs, props, to hold everything while the work happens.

And the welding that keeps old metal alive: gate hinges worn through, railings rusted at the base, brackets and fittings remade to match what was there. Repairs come to the house.
