Call, text or email your welder located in London Ontario

New clients usually call me or send me text messages to the phone number clearly visible on this page. Also new clients can send emails to me via email address that is visible on this page. Alternatively, clients can send emails through Contact page along with specification of project type. In response, I tend to ask specific questions regarding project location, materials welded and thicknesses of materials welded.

Client delivers pictures, drawings and sketches

Your project serious inquiry begins with your pictures and your drawings or sketches. Alternatively, we can generate the necessary sketches or drawings, if the project value is substantial. We accept these images via text messaging, email and through dropping large files on our Contact page. After analyzing your images, we could possibly call you to ask for more clarification regarding some details. We could also ask for your schedule demands since we would like to accommodate your demands to our scheduling.

Welder’s initial visit

My initial visit is very important for your project’s success. I tend to visit our new clients and I visit old clients with new projects. In fact, I visit you to develop more inside into your project’s requirements. This visit allows me to recommend welding technology used in your project and recommend welding rods or wires. During this visit, I will present number of choices for your project that refers to project’s durability and resistance to expected forces. In fact, in our disposal we have very basic welds, impact resistance welds, flexible welds, vibration resistance welds and many others. Therefore I will provide you with multiple choices ranging from basic and least expansive to more advance and more costly. As always, you will decide what is best for your project but at least you will be inform properly about your choices.

Moreover, in my initial visit I make notes regarding potential safety hazards and I take proper dimensions for material needed. Finally, at the end of the visit, I will tell you how much our welding service will cost and approximately how long will it take to accomplish your project.

If your project is in need of our portable welding services, my visit allows me also to determine type of electrical plug needed for our machines. The initial visit not only clears many of our client’s questions but more importantly allows us to be more prepared when we arrive to your place and start working on your project.

Welder’s initial visit is free of charge in London city limits

My initial visit in London Ontario is free of charge for every customer since I am traveling within the London city limits. Therefore all initial visits to clients in all subdivisions of London such as Westmount, Byron, Highland, White Oaks, Westminster, Longwoods, Oakridge, Southcrest, Wortley, Glen Cairn, Old East Village, Argyle, Huron Heights, Curling, Sunningdale, Hyde Park and University Heights are free of charge. However, new customers with projects located outside of London Ontario will have to compensate us with a small travel fee.

Delivery of our estimate

After my initial visit, I will provide the quote delivered through text messaging or email. Estimates of large projects demanding more sophisticated quoting are delivered through email on company’s letterhead. And, I use text messaging for delivery of quotes for small projects. There is no need to rush with approval of my quotes. Please, follow your standard decision making process.

Client’s approval of our estimate

New clients always ask me if we can come today to their premises to perform some welding without telling me what it is. Others are more interested in fabrication in our welding shop in London but still want us to perform welding on their premises ASAP. We are ready to provide comfortable scheduling to our clients shortly after approval of our estimates. Due to miscommunication that has occurred in the past , we now require your written confirmation of approval via text message or email. Unfortunately, all projects have to be approved prior sending welder to your premises. In the same manner, all projects have to be approved prior landing in our welding shop in London Ontario. In scheduling of your service we do not provide preferences. However old clients and clients who handle emergency services receive priority.

Many residential clients ask us why do we insist on approval of our estimate even in urgent situations. These urgent situations force us to provide our estimate based on your pictures alone since there is not time for my initial visit. The answer is very simple indeed. Based on our experience clients change their minds very often and cancel their projects or postpone their projects. Occasionally, clients for our mobile welding services with projects at more distant locations of about 100 km away from London Ontario tend to choose more local welders to provide mobile welding services to them. Therefore, until we do not receive the written approval we do not send a welder to you and we do not begin your project in our welding shop in London.

Scheduling of welding services

In scheduling of our welding services we try to adjust our schedules to your demands and to your schedule. Our flexibility of scheduling depends on welding service your require and/or potential involvement of materials. The mobile welding service without use of extra material is probably the easiest to schedule. However, this service depends on weather conditions since we do not weld during the rain. Any ordering of material for mobile welding automatically extends the scheduling. Our suppliers require 3-4 days for delivery of material to your project.

Portable welding service of complex alloys, possible tests of welds or test of other mechanical components involves monitored scheduling. Within the monitored scheduling, we keep informing client about project progress and our reediness to perform the service.

Scheduling of metal fabrication is relatively easy. It only depends on flow of projects in our welding shop in London Ontario and delivery of material to our shop.

Delivery of welding services by welder in London Ontario

We practice what we say, and we deliver what we promise. The delivery of our welding services involves best welding practices, safety policies and Covid-19 policies.

JW Portable Welding & Repairs – Best Welding Practices

We approach each project with respect and therefore we come to your place prepared with:

1. proper auxiliary tools such as grinders, saws, torches ect.
2. welding machine that will deliver proper welding technology for your project
3. welding consumables that involve agreed welding rods or wires
4. proper abrasives for your project
5. proper safety equipment and supplies

Projects that require preheating will be preheated to the designated temperatures prior welding. And, project that require extensive chemical cleaning will be cleaned prior welding. The welder providing the welding services in your project is highly trained with multiple certifications. In case of portable welding projects involved variety of metal alloys, this welder has performed welding tests in our shop on same material.

We also take multiple pictures of your project prior, during and after our welding to document our performance. In cases of more complicated and large welds, we will be taking pictures of welds “layer by layer”. These pictures belong also to you since you are the project owner. You can ask us at any time to provide you with the full set of pictures for your project. Your inquiries are completely justified. You could question the presence of hidden welds or crack welding techniques or preheating parameters. We provide full project documentation to clients and their agents on demand. No questions asked. We will deliver these documents in timely manner via email.

Safety policies

As professional tradesmen, we will be in charge of safety policies during our delivery of welding services. The welding process generates multiple hazards such as fumes, flashing, heat, noise and fire hazard. It is our duty to protect ourselves, your employees, our property, your property, and sometimes pedestrians against these hazards. The initial visit determines how we can control and/or mitigate the hazards associated with welding process. And, in fact with the whole welding service.

Sometimes we encounter working on heights and associated fall hazard. Falls significantly contribute to injuries and deaths of workers in Ontario and we have to mitigate this hazard. We are fully trained in this mitigation process that involves appropriate safety equipment. Working on heights contributes to increased cost of your project.

In addition, we are experienced in welding in confined spaces. In such instances, we take liberty to designate the space where the welding will commence as a confined space for the duration of welding. We will also insists on having our trained employee to become the designated confined space watchman.

In our, and in our clients interest is to maintain control of all hazards during our presence on your projects. The control of hazards and safety aspect of the project increases the project’s cost. However, we will not sacrifice our safety standards in order to accomplish your project. Clients are welcomed to take upon themselves to improve controls of hazards generated through welding and grinding. Your efforts will reduce our project estimate. Lack of client’s interest in hazards control ultimately eliminates our contribution to your project.

Covid – 19 policies

JW Portable Welding & Repairs follows Ontario provincial government guidelines. These guidelines affect our mobile welding, portable welding and in shop welding services in London Ontario and in all projects throughout the province. Certainly, welder in London Ontario follows the Covid – 19 restrictions in projects in London. This is obvious. However, we will adjust our responses to accommodate local restrictions where project is located.

Therefore occasionally we have to postpone projects demanding our presence in non-essential projects. We will also mitigate our presence in essential projects in order to eliminate direct contact between your employees and our crew. And, in fact, eliminate direct contact between project’s owner and our welder. All project’s communications during the lockdowns will be conducted by phone and video conferencing. Additionally, we will increase our tarped area for portable welding services that include on – site fabrication by additional 50%. Moreover, we will increase ventilation of the area using our fans.

Notably, the same factors influence re – fabrication of complex structures encountering bending and deflections. These steel structures definitely require our innovative approach and practical fabrication designs too.

With this in mind, our innovative designs build upon metal stress analysis and joint resistance analysis. Furthermore, we also analyze thermal expansion for warpage analysis and the element resistance to chemical reactions . In the light of these analysis, we provide practical solutions to change joint design and/or change elements’ positions. We also recommend to increase tolerances and/or use different alloys in case of warpage mitigation. Moreover, we respond to severe damages of elements due to chemical reactions by

1. implementation of surfacing welds
2. recommendation of protective epoxy layer
3. recommendation of metal spraying.

In fact, we do many of these activities on your premises or we manage the services provided by others at tolerable costs . Ultimately, practicality is paramount for us.

Welding services’ advancements

Particularly, due to our welding services’ advancements and our extensive mechanical background, we undertake the most difficult and sophisticated projects.
