At MJ Welding & Fabrication, we provide specialist sill and wheel arch welding for cars and vans in Stourbridge. Rust and structural damage in these areas is one of the most common causes of MOT failure, and our technicians carry out thorough repairs that restore full structural strength and protect the vehicle long-term.
We begin by carrying out a thorough inspection of the sill and surrounding areas to identify the full extent of rust or structural damage. This allows us to recommend the most effective repair or replacement approach for your vehicle’s specific condition.
All corroded and weakened metal is fully removed before welding begins. Thorough preparation is essential to ensure the new welded section bonds correctly and the repair is both structurally sound and long-lasting.
New sill panels or sections are fitted and welded into place using professional MIG welding techniques. We ensure correct alignment and full structural integration so the repaired sill restores the vehicle’s rigidity and passes MOT requirements.
Rusted or damaged wheel arch sections are removed and replaced with strong welded panels that restore the arch’s shape and structural integrity. This also improves the vehicle’s appearance and protects against further corrosion.
Sill and wheel arch rust is one of the most common reasons for MOT failure. We carry out professional welding repairs that bring these areas back up to the required structural standard, helping your vehicle pass its MOT inspection with confidence.
Sills and wheel arches are structural components that play an important role in the overall rigidity and safety of your vehicle. When these areas rust or become structurally compromised, the vehicle’s body loses strength, which can affect crash performance and passenger safety.
Beyond safety, severely rusted sills and arches are a common cause of MOT failure, preventing the vehicle from being legally driven until the issue is resolved. Professional welding repairs restore structural integrity and protect the surrounding areas from further corrosion spreading. At MJ Welding & Fabrication, we deliver precise, durable welding repairs that restore both safety and appearance.
We inspect all affected areas, remove corroded metal, and prepare the surface for welding. New panels or sections are then precisely fitted and welded into position, followed by a final inspection to ensure the repair meets structural and MOT standards.
