We specialise in MIG, TIG, and MMA welding techniques, working with steel, stainless steel, and aluminium to create durable solutions that stand the test of time. Whether you need structural modifications, custom components, or urgent repairs, our workshop and mobile welding capabilities ensure we can tackle any project, anywhere in the Northwest.

Our Fabrication & Welding Expertise

At BRN Welding & Fabrication, we understand that every welding project demands precision, expertise, and reliability. Shaun Breen’s extensive experience, combined with our team of time-served professionals, brings decades of knowledge to every job. We’ve handled everything from delicate aluminium repairs to heavy structural steelwork, always maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship.

Our approach starts with understanding your exact requirements. We’ll visit your site, assess the project scope, and work with you to create solutions that meet both your functional needs and budget constraints. Every project is completed to British Standards with full compliance to relevant building regulations and safety requirements.

Initial Consultation
& Site Survey

We begin every project with a thorough consultation to understand your specific requirements. Our experienced team conducts a detailed site survey, taking precise measurements and assessing any technical challenges or access issues. This comprehensive approach ensures our quotation is accurate and our timeline is realistic.

Design &
Planning

Working from your brief, we create detailed plans and technical drawings where needed. For complex fabrication projects, we can provide 3D visualisations to help you see exactly how the finished work will look and function. All designs incorporate relevant safety standards and building regulations from the outset.

Professional
Fabrication

Using our well-equipped workshop and mobile welding units, we fabricate your project with precision and attention to detail. We use only quality materials from trusted suppliers and proven welding techniques, ensuring every joint and weld meets our exacting standards. Regular quality checks throughout the process guarantee consistent results.

Installation &
Finishing

Our qualified installation team ensures your project is fitted correctly and safely. We coordinate with other trades when necessary and always leave your site clean and tidy. Final finishing options include powder coating, galvanising, or specialist paint systems to protect your investment and maintain appearance over time.

Project Timescales

Simple fabrication and welding projects typically take one to two weeks from order to completion, whilst complex bespoke work may require three to four weeks. Emergency repairs can often be completed within 24-48 hours, depending on material availability and access requirements. We’ll provide realistic timescales during our initial consultation and keep you updated throughout the project.

Types of Fabrication & Welding Projects

Residential
Applications

From garden gates and security grilles to structural repairs and bespoke storage solutions, we help homeowners create practical and attractive metalwork. Our residential services include repairs to existing metalwork, custom fabrication for unique requirements, and modifications to improve functionality or appearance. We understand that residential projects often need to balance practicality with aesthetics, and we work closely with homeowners to achieve both.

Commercial &
Retail

Our commercial welding services cover everything from shopfitting and display fixtures to structural modifications and maintenance work. We understand the importance of minimal disruption to business operations and can often schedule work outside normal hours. Commercial projects include retail fixtures, office modifications, warehouse equipment, and emergency repairs that keep businesses running smoothly.

Industrial &
Manufacturing

Heavy-duty fabrication and repair work requires specialist knowledge and equipment. Our industrial welding covers structural steelwork, machinery repairs, custom jigs and fixtures, and fabrication for manufacturing environments. All work is completed to relevant British Standards and HSE regulations, with comprehensive documentation for quality assurance and compliance purposes.

Safety & Quality Standards

Safety is at the heart of everything we do at BRN Welding & Fabrication. We follow strict HSE-compliant procedures and maintain full adherence to COSHH regulations throughout all welding and fabrication work. Our workshop and mobile units are equipped with proper ventilation and protective equipment, whilst our team undergoes regular safety training and CPD updates. We carry comprehensive public liability insurance for your complete peace of mind.

Every project undergoes rigorous quality checks, including visual inspection and non-destructive testing when required. We work to BS EN ISO 3834 welding quality requirements and ensure CE marking compliance for structural work. All materials come with full certification tracking, and we provide photographic documentation of completed work for your records and warranty purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide design services or just fabrication?
Project duration varies considerably based on complexity and size. Simple repairs may be completed within 1-2 days, custom fabrication typically takes 1-2 weeks, whilst elaborate structural work can take 3-4 weeks. We’ll provide accurate timescales during our consultation and keep you informed of progress throughout.
We can advise on when planning permission or building regulations approval is needed for fabrication projects. For Building Regulations, we can submit applications and coordinate inspections. Planning permission applications require an architect or planning consultant, but we can recommend trusted professionals we work with regularly.
We offer a comprehensive 10-year guarantee on all structural welding and 12 months on repairs and modifications, covering both materials and workmanship. This guarantee complies with Consumer Rights Act 2015 requirements and is backed by our professional indemnity insurance.
Absolutely. We regularly work on period properties and listed buildings, creating new fabrication that complements existing features. We can match profiles, proportions, and finishing to blend seamlessly with original metalwork, whether it’s Victorian ironwork or contemporary steel framing.
For commercial and industrial clients, we can often schedule fabrication and welding work outside normal business hours to minimise disruption. Weekend and evening work is available, though premium rates may apply. Emergency repairs are available 24/7 throughout our service area.
