Mobile Welding in Ottawa
Ottawa is a big city, and Scott works mostly in its west end, where he is based in Stittsville. For people in the rest of the city, central neighbourhoods and the older streets near the Rideau Canal included, he offers mobile welding on a case by case basis. If you have a metal problem that is hard to move, the mobile rig can come to you.
Central Ottawa has a lot of metal that is old and exposed. Iron railings on brick steps, fire escape style stairs, gates, fence panels and balcony rails all get hit by winters of road salt and freeze and thaw. Scott repairs and rebuilds these, welding in new steel where the old has rusted and making Custom Fabrication pieces where a replacement is not made any more.
He also works with aluminum and stainless steel, using TIG and MIG, so a stainless railing, a food equipment bracket or an aluminum boat or trailer part is within his range. Contractors, landscapers and small businesses with trailers and equipment can send photos for a quote, and Scott will give a price before starting any job.
Getting to Ottawa
From Stittsville to central Ottawa is about 29 minutes by car, so a visit is a real trip, and he will say so honestly. The easiest way to start is to call or text photos. For smaller pieces, it may make more sense to bring them out to the shop.

Welding work around Ottawa
Because Ottawa is so large, the work differs a lot from one part to another. Near the Rideau Canal and the Ottawa River, people have docks, boat trailers and aluminum boats that need seasonal attention. In older neighbourhoods, it is mostly stairs, rails and gates that have outlasted their original welds.
Scott treats larger city jobs as worth the drive when there is enough to do in one visit, so it helps to group several small repairs together. A gate, a railing and a trailer hitch can be quoted as one trip rather than three.
Questions from Ottawa
- Does Scott work in downtown Ottawa or only the west end?
- His base is Stittsville, so the west end is easiest. He will travel across the city when the job justifies it, particularly when several repairs can be done in one visit. Text photos and he will tell you what is practical.
- Can you repair a stainless steel railing or fixture?
- Yes, Stainless Steel is one of his materials and he welds it with TIG for a clean, strong joint. Send photos of the piece and the damage, and he will give a price before starting work.
- My dock hardware by the Rideau Canal is broken. Can you help?
- He can weld aluminum and steel brackets, ladders and frames used on docks, and the mobile rig can come to the waterfront if there is access. Photos of the damage will help him quote it.
- Is it cheaper to bring something to the shop than to book a visit?
- Smaller, portable pieces can be dropped at his Stittsville shop, which saves a mobile visit. Large or fixed items are better done on site. Either way, he quotes the price first, from the photos you send him.
