Welding & Fabrication - Cars & Light Vans – Norwich & Norfolk

Welding and fabrication involve repairing or reinforcing metal parts of a vehicle that have weakened, cracked, or corroded over time. This is most commonly required where rust has affected structural or safety-critical areas, such as sills, floors, arches, or mounting points.

Modern vehicles rely on a strong metal structure to protect occupants, support suspension and braking components, and meet MOT safety standards. When corrosion sets in, simply covering it up is not enough — the affected metal must be properly removed and repaired.

At BURE AUTO CENTRE, we carry out welding and fabrication work on cars and light vans across Norwich and Norfolk, explaining clearly what needs repairing, why it matters, and how the repair is carried out.

Proper assessment of corrosion

We inspect affected areas thoroughly to understand how far corrosion has spread and whether it affects structural or safety-related sections.

Correct repair techniques

Damaged metal is cut out and replaced with properly shaped, welded steel sections — not patched or disguised.

Honest explanations

We explain what the repair involves, what is required to meet safety and MOT standards, and what condition the surrounding areas are in.

When should you consider welding or fabrication?

You may need welding or fabrication work if:

Rust is visible on sills, arches, floors, or chassis areas
Paint is bubbling or flaking, revealing corrosion underneath
The vehicle has failed an MOT due to corrosion
There are MOT advisories related to structural areas
Panels or mounting points feel weak or unstable
You’ve noticed water ingress inside the vehicle
Bodywork repairs have revealed hidden corrosion

Corrosion often spreads beneath the surface, so visible rust is usually only part of the issue.

Benefits of addressing corrosion properly

Correct welding and fabrication repairs help to:

Reliable & Restore structural strength and safetyParts At Valuable Prices
Meet MOT requirements for corrosion repairs
Prevent rust spreading into surrounding areas
Extend the usable life of the vehicle
Protect suspension, braking, and mounting points
Give confidence that repairs are solid and durable

Addressing corrosion early often means smaller, more contained repairs.

If you’re concerned about rust or corrosion, we’re happy to inspect the vehicle and explain what we find. We’ll show you the affected areas, explain the repair options, and talk through what needs attention now versus what can reasonably wait.
