As above, need a few patches of welding doing, and need recommendations for a very good welder, in the south east area if possible, but don't mind travelling.

Thanks

I have used nick probably a dozen times

He is a good fabricator and has very very good kit

Obviously as he's a pro, his penetration is perfection

£150 a day should do you. I am sure he would travel the distance if you covered his diesel

Let him know I recommended you :D

I'm guessing he would be able to fabricate pieces of metal whilst out on the job right?

nick fabricated and welded this

by the time we flapped back the excess the joins were un-noticable and we didn't even need any filler.
