Our Complete Range of Welding Services

Mobile Welding — Our Signature Service
Mobile welding is at the heart of what we do. Instead of you dismantling, loading, and transporting heavy metal items to a workshop, we bring the workshop to you. This saves time, money, and hassle — especially for jobs where dismantling isn’t practical or safe.
What our mobile units carry:
- MIG, TIG, Arc, and spot welding machines
- Plasma cutters and angle grinders
- Power generators for sites without electricity
- Portable workbenches and clamps
- Full range of steel, stainless, and aluminium stock
- Safety equipment and fire extinguishers
Did you know? Mobile welding is ideal for:
✔️ Gate repairs that can’t be removed easily
✔️ Balcony and staircase railings already installed
✔️ Trailer and bakkie repairs at your home
✔️ Farm equipment repairs in the Boland
✔️ Construction site fabrication where transport is costly
✔️ Emergency structural repairs after storms or accidents
Security Welding — Burglar Bars, Gates & Fencing
Security is one of our most requested services across Cape Town. We fabricate and install a full range of security metalwork designed to protect homes and businesses while complementing your property’s style.
Burglar Bars
- Fixed and removable burglar bars
- Window guards for ground and upper floors
- Expandable security barriers for sliding windows
- Custom designs for arched, bay, and heritage windows

Fencing & Palisade
- Palisade fencing in various heights

Structural Steel Welding
Structural steel welding requires precision, certification, and an understanding of load-bearing principles. Our welders are experienced in delivering structural work for residential, commercial, and light industrial projects.
Structural applications we handle:
- Mezzanine floors and platforms
- Roof trusses and support beams
- Staircases (straight, spiral, and switchback)
- Handrails and balustrades
- Carport and shade port frameworks
- Canopy and awning supports
- Machine bases and equipment mounts
- Reinforcement for renovations and extensions
Compliance matters: Structural welding in South Africa should comply with SANS 10162 (steel construction) and relevant building regulations. We work with structural engineers and architects to ensure every installation meets the required standards and is signed off correctly.
Aluminium & Stainless Steel Fabrication
For coastal properties, aluminium and stainless steel offer superior corrosion resistance compared to mild steel. We fabricate a wide range of products in these materials:
- Balustrades and railings for balconies and staircases
- Gates and burglar bars with a modern, clean finish
- Kitchen and commercial equipment frames
- Marine-grade fittings and brackets
- Shopfronts and display frameworks
- Handrails for hospitals, schools, and public buildings
Our TIG welding capability allows us to produce clean, precise welds on thin-gauge aluminium and stainless steel, with minimal distortion and a professional finish.

What Sets Prime Service Welding Apart
Our team brings over 15 years of hands-on welding experience to every project. We’ve completed hundreds of installations across Cape Town — from burglar bars in Bo-Kaap to structural steel in Bellville and balustrades in Camps Bay. Our clients include homeowners, body corporates, property developers, architects, and businesses of all sizes.
We believe in doing things properly. That means using the right welding process for the job, selecting materials suited to the environment (especially in coastal areas), and finishing every project with care. We also believe in clear communication — you’ll always know what’s happening, when, and at what cost.
“Prime Service Welding installed custom balustrades and burglar bars at our home in Claremont. The team was professional, the pricing was fair, and the finish is superb. We’ve since used them for two more projects.” — Satisfied Client
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer free quotes for welding services?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation quotes for all welding projects across Cape Town. For larger jobs, we’ll visit your site to take measurements and understand your requirements before quoting.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency welding job?
For urgent repairs, we aim to be on-site within 2–4 hours depending on your location and the nature of the job. WhatsApp us on +27 69 452 2451 for the fastest response.
Can you match existing metalwork for heritage or older properties?
Absolutely. We frequently work on heritage homes and older buildings where matching existing profiles and finishes is important. We can replicate existing patterns or design something complementary.
What is the difference between MIG and TIG welding?
MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding is faster and better suited to thicker materials and structural work. TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding offers greater precision and cleaner finishes, making it ideal for thin materials and visible joints in stainless steel or aluminium.
Do you work with body corporates and managing agents?
Yes. We regularly work with body corporates, managing agents, and property developers on security gates, balustrades, structural repairs, and general metalwork for apartment blocks and complexes.
What areas of Cape Town do you cover?
We cover the entire Cape Town metro — including the CBD, City Bowl, Atlantic Seaboard, Southern Suburbs, Northern Suburbs, Cape Flats, Helderberg, and West Coast areas.
Are your welders qualified and insured?
Yes. Our welders are trade-qualified in boilermaking and welding, and we carry appropriate insurance for on-site work. We can provide documentation on request.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept EFT, cash, and card payments. For larger projects, we typically require a deposit to cover materials, with the balance due on completion.
