- Chassis welding and fabrication – for frame damage, corrosion or modification

We also carry out general maintenance and safety inspections. If you’re unsure what the problem is, our experienced team can complete a full trailer assessment and provide a clear repair quotation. Our trailer repair services include brake and axle repairs, welding and fabrication, chassis work, horsebox repairs, and trailer floor repairs or replacement.
If your trailer is due for routine maintenance rather than a specific repair, see what is included in our trailer servicing.
Trailer Brake and Axle Repairs
Brakes and axles are essential to the safe operation of your trailer. We carry out trailer brake repairs, brake refurbishment and axle repairs or replacement, depending on the condition of the components. We will inspect the trailer, explain the work required and provide a quotation before repairs begin.
Read our Ifor Williams trailer brake repair case study to see how we investigated a wheel-jamming fault and replaced the damaged brake components.
Where replacement components are needed, we can advise on suitable trailer parts. Suitability and availability depend on the trailer make, model and components fitted.
Trailer Welding and Fabrication
Our trailer welding and fabrication work includes chassis repairs, replacement brackets, structural welding and bespoke panel work. We assess the affected area carefully to determine whether a safe and practical repair can be completed.
Trailer Floor Repairs and Replacement
A soft, rotten, cracked or damaged trailer floor can make a trailer unsafe, particularly when carrying vehicles, plant or livestock. We can inspect the trailer floorboards, supporting framework, ramps and fixings to identify damage or deterioration.
Where appropriate, we can carry out trailer floor repairs or a complete trailer floor replacement. This may include removing substandard flooring, checking the structure underneath and fitting suitable replacement floorboards. Contact us with photographs or arrange an inspection at our Sleaford workshop.
