04 Aug Questions to Ask a Mobile Welding Company
What is Mobile Welding?
Mobile welding is essentially a welding service, which can be done anywhere. Typically speaking, mobile welding services consist of MIG welding, TIG welding and arc welding steel and other metals. It also involves fixing fences, gates, railings and other steel products which need to be joined.
The welding process involves the use of advanced technology, which should only be operated by a trained coded welder, who is ideally experienced in all areas of steel fabrication.
Coded Welders
Skilled coded welders can manufacture new items or work with existing structural steel products. By hiring expert structural steel fabricators and welders who are authorised and trained to work with a variety of materials, such as Baker Steel Trading, you can rest assured knowing that they will work to the high standards set for them.
There is a unique art to the practice of welding steel, therefore it makes sense that you spend time and effort researching the best professional mobile welding company. Choosing the right company can be a difficult choice, and while here at Baker Steel Trading we are adamant we are the steel fabrication company for you, we realise the decision may not be as easy for some.
To help you, we’ve outlined some common questions we’re asked before we take on some steel fabrication work. We hope our guide gives you peace of mind knowing that you aren’t alone with any concerns about hiring mobile welders before a job.

What to Ask Before Hiring a Mobile Welding Company
-
Do you specialise in one type of steel welding?
Our team of welders are experienced in various welding codes. We do, however, have proficiency in TIG welding, and we have invested in the latest equipment to help us carry out our work safely and to the highest standards. That is not to say we aren’t familiar with MIG welding or arc welding techniques, our team are experts in all types of welding. Our collective knowledge and experience working with all of these codes, as well as our structural steel fabrication expertise, means no matter what your steel requirements are, we can help you.
-
What types of steel do you work with?
We can use our mobile welding equipment to weld anything from structural steel and mild steel to other metals like aluminium. Stainless steel is another product we’re very experienced with, which we can use to weld gates, railings and many other products for domestic or commercial use. One of our other specialisms is fabricating steel frame buildings, which involves intricate welding processes. You name any steel you need welding, and we are confident we can help you.
-
Is it better to weld on-site or off-site?
There’s no right or wrong answer to this, but it depends on what works best for you. If you are currently on-site and require a coded welder to carry out work there, we can arrange that. Alternatively, we do operate in-house at our Woking factory, and can always arrange to have products delivered and installed on-site as an additional service. We want to make the entire experience as straightforward and stress-free as possible for you.
-
What makes you different from other mobile welding companies?
Here at Baker Steel Trading, we take customer service very seriously. The last thing we want to do is to leave you with a bad impression; our aim is to leave you with professionally welded products and provide a service that you can be satisfied with. Our goal is to provide a tailored and bespoke service, whatever your requirements are, that sticks to your budget, timescales and specifications. This is why we offer many additional services such as 3D steel fabrication drawings, HIAB hire and on-site survey and measurement.
