MOBILE TO YOUR DOOR TIG WELDING AND FABRICATION

MOBILE TO YOUR DOOR TIG WELDING AND FABRICATION

by taddcastle » Tue Oct 06, 2009 9:32 pm
RIGHT EXPANDING MY SKILLS AND SERVICES, SOME OF YOU GUYS HAVE NOW SEEN THE QUALITY OF MY WORK AND I TELL YOU NOW THERE ARE NEVER ANY COMPROMISES.
I AM OFFERING MY SERVICES AS A BESPOKE FABRICATOR/WELDER.

MY TIG WELDER AND MOST OF MY TOOLS ARE FULLY PORTABLE SO IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE WELDED AND YOU WANT IT TO LOOK PRETTY I'M YOUR MAN.

MOST METALS CAN BE CATERED FOR EXCEPT ALUMINIUM. I CAN WELD STAINLESS STEEL, MILD STEEL AND TITANIUM TO MENTION A FEW.

I WOULD JUST NEED YOU TO PROVIDE THE POWER, GARAGE AND VEHICLE AND MAYBE THE LUNCH. :D

I WILL BE CHARGING A MINIMUM CALL OUT FEE OF £45 FOR WITHIN A 50 MILE RADIUS OF ME(SILVERSTONE, NORTHANTS), WITH A FURTHER £10 PER EXTRA 25 MILES RADIUS.

IF YOU WANT A CONSULTANCY THEN THIS WOULD BE AN EXTRA £30. THIS SERVICE WILL INCLUDE A DISCUSSION OF YOUR NEEDS AND IDEAS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AND DRAWINGS TO SUIT YOUR APPLICATION BEFORE BRINGING ALL THE TOOLS TO COMPLETE THE JOB ON THE NEXT VISIT.

I WILL BE CHARGING £45 PER HOUR FOR THIS; YOU ARE GETTING A SUPERIOR WELDING SERVICE OF WHICH I LET MY WORK DO THE TALKING. JUST REMEMBER A CAR GARAGE CAN WELD, BUT CAN THEY TIG WELD?.. I SAY NO, CAN THEY MIG WELD? YES, SOME CAN THROW A BIT DOWN. WILL IT LOOK PRETTY? NO.

SO IF YOUR ROLL HOOPS NEED MODIFYING, OR YOU WANT A BRACKET TO BE BUILT THEN GIVE ME A SHOUT.
THIS ALSO APPLYS FOR YOUR EXHAUST NEEDS I CAN COME TO YOU AND THROW TOGETHER A MOCK UP. FOR ME TO TAKE AWAY AND BUILD ALL PRETTY.

THIS SERVICE WILL BE OFFERED AS WEEKENDS ONLY TO START WITH.

MIKE.
