Our Foundations in Vehicle Welding Since 1977

Vehicle welding isn’t just one of the services we offer — it’s where our business began. Trickett Welding Ltd was founded in 1977 by Graham Trickett carrying out MOT welding repairs. The cars we started out repairing then are the classics of today. Over the decades the business has grown, moved with the times, and expanded from minor structural repairs into full restorations, supported by a fully equipped paint shop and in-house mechanical repair services. Despite this growth, welding remains at the core of everything we do.

Welding Repairs for MOT Failures

Rust and corrosion are among the most common reasons vehicles fail their MOT. Even small areas of corrosion in structural sections can reduce safety. Because welding has always been our specialist trade, we provide precise, reliable repairs that restore structural integrity and help vehicles pass inspection with confidence.

Structural Welding, Corrosion Repair & Prevention

We are not only experts in repairing rust and corrosion, but also in preventing problems from developing further. Many MOT advisories relating to corrosion can be resolved early before welding becomes necessary. Modern vehicles rely on a semi-monocoque structure, meaning corrosion in key areas can weaken the strength of the entire vehicle if left untreated. Our approach focuses on long-term structural integrity rather than short-term cosmetic fixes.

Classic Vehicles and Modern Classics (Youngtimers)

We regularly carry out welding work on classic vehicles and modern classics often known as youngtimers, from minor repairs through to full structural rebuilds. This type of specialist fabrication work has been part of our expertise since the company first began.

Specialist Vehicle Welding

We work on a wide variety of vehicles, including passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, horseboxes, pickup trucks and motorhomes. Alongside repair work, we also provide bespoke fabrication tailored to individual customer requirements.

Why Choose Trickett Welding Ltd?

Unlike most garages, vehicle welding is not a side service for us — it is the trade the business was built on. Our expansion has always grown around that foundation, allowing us to support everything from minor MOT welding repairs through to complete structural restorations. Our team works on fabrication and welding every day and brings decades of specialist experience to every job.
