Finding a reliable, skilled welder in York is not always straightforward. At Ultra Fabrication, welding is at the core of everything we do. Based in Escrick, just south of York, we provide professional MIG and MMA welding services to builders, contractors, homeowners and businesses across York and the wider Yorkshire region.
Every structural weld we carry out is completed by a fully coded welder. That is not just a selling point. On structural steel projects it is the difference between a weld that will last a lifetime and one that might not. When you hire Ultra Fabrication, you get genuine expertise backed by proper certification.
Welding Services We Offer in York
MIG Welding
MIG welding (Metal Inert Gas) is one of the most versatile and widely used welding processes for structural and fabrication work. It produces clean, strong welds on mild steel, structural sections and fabricated assemblies. We use MIG welding for the majority of our workshop fabrication work and for onsite structural connections where conditions allow.
MMA Welding (Stick Welding)
MMA welding, also known as manual metal arc or stick welding, is the preferred process for outdoor and onsite work where wind, moisture or awkward access makes MIG less practical. It is particularly useful for site welding of steel beams and structural connections in York's often unpredictable weather conditions.
Mobile Welding in York
We know that bringing steelwork back to a workshop is not always practical or cost-effective. Our mobile welding service brings the welder to you. We cover all areas in and around York including the city centre, surrounding villages and the wider North Yorkshire and East Yorkshire areas. We supply our own power, so access to mains electricity on site is not required.
Workshop Welding
For fabrication work that is better suited to a controlled workshop environment, we carry out all welding at our Escrick facility. This is ideal for bespoke fabrication projects, complex assemblies and any work requiring jigs or precision alignment.

- Structural steel beam connections and end plates
- Steel column base plates and connections
- Gate and railing fabrication and repairs
- Mezzanine floors and platform structures

Why a Coded Welder Matters on Your York Project
The term coded welder refers to a welder who has passed a formal qualification test to a recognised standard, such as BS EN ISO 9606. This certification demonstrates that the welder can produce welds to a specified quality level consistently under test conditions.
On structural projects in York, particularly those involving steel beams and load-bearing connections, Building Control will often expect welding to be completed to a certified standard. Using a coded welder at Ultra Fabrication gives you and your structural engineer confidence that every weld meets the required specification.
Many smaller welding operations in and around York cannot offer this. We can.
