We use MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) welding depending on the shaft material, thickness and job requirements to ensure strong, corrosion-resistant welds.

Standard 240V power on-site is helpful but not essential. We bring a generator for remote locations – just advise us in advance so we can plan accordingly.
7. Can you weld outdoors at docks and marinas?
Yes, we often weld outside at docks and marinas. We assess weather conditions and safety before starting, and may advise rescheduling or using shelters if conditions are unsuitable.
8. Can you provide a quote from photos?
Photos and short videos are very useful for providing a guide price and planning access. Final pricing may depend on what we find on-site during inspection.
9. Do you supply materials like shaft collars and brackets?
Yes, we can supply plates, collars, brackets and small sections as part of the job. Larger or specialist marine steel sections may need ordering once sizes are confirmed.
