In the world of heavy goods vehicles and industrial equipment, downtime is not only inconvenient; it incurs a cost. When your HGV chassis cracks, your digger bucket fails or your recovery truck’s off road repairs are required, you require welding expertise of a level that can cover the heaviest industrial application. Founded over 40 years ago, Sparks Welding in Slough, Berkshire, is one of very few UK specialists in heavy-duty gas metal arc welding to offer industrial-strength solutions capable of withstanding real-world rigours.
Unmatched Heavy Duty Welding Capabilities.
Sparks Welding specialises in heavy duty gas metal arc welding (GMAW) procedures designed and built for an industrial application in mind. Not every welding service has the knowledge, tools and experience to create welds capable of withstanding the stresses, vibration and loads suffered by industrial vehicles as part of their daily routine, although many can certainly perform light repairs.
We offer GMAW processes that have a high deposition rate along with deep penetration. These processes are essential for having a proper finish as well as fault-free repairs. These processes also have the strength to last under extreme conditions for many years.
A Complete Industrial Vehicle Repair Service.
We have been successfully repairing almost every single industrial vehicle and commercial vehicle for the past 40 years.
Airport and Aviation Support.
We recognise the demands of aviation environments when it comes to performance and reliability standards – be it the airplane tug trucks that move multi-million dollar aircraft, or the mini diggers that keep airport infrastructure maintained and operational. We have also dealt with air ambulance vehicles where a failure is not an option.
Waste and Environmental Services.
We also undertake repairs of waste recycle carts and grab lorry arm and chassis.
Transport and Logistics.
We have repaired HGV chassis, logistics transport trailer, car transporters and recovery truck – we can do it all! We recognize the importance of these vehicles to the UK industry and act swiftly in the event of a repair.
Agricultural and Construction Equipment.
Farm trailers, agricultural ploughs, digger buckets, tractor bodies – all farm and construction equipment face some of the harshest operating conditions. Our repairs resist mud, dust, heavy loads, and continuous use.
Specialised Applications.
We have completed TFL diesel trailers, horse box trailers, aluminium tipper bodies and forklifts. This shows our versatility and ability to work with diverse materials and other specifications.
Beyond Traditional Repairs.
As we’ve previously manufactured movie props, such as the gears for a Back to the Future DeLorean time machine, we use that same maleable approach to every industrial vehicle repair! We apply the same ingenuity to solve a problem that will make a movie magic scene work!
From investigating the specifications of a rare car part to designing a solution for a unique repair task, we combine old-world craftsmanship with today’s innovative thinking.
The Sparks Difference.
For over 40 years, we have been working with the welding problems that the industrial vehicle business is capable of giving us.
Specialised Equipment: We have the heavy-duty welding equipment needed to manage the thickest steel sections and the most demanding applications. During an external audit, we borrowed the welding machines from our main supplier to do all the overhead welding.
Material Knowledge: We are familiar with the behaviour of various materials under load, including standard steel, alloys, and aluminium. So, we can select the appropriate welding process.
We ensure every truck is checked thoroughly after service because the break-down of an industrial vehicle can have serious safety and financial repercussions.
Fast Turnaround Time: We know that every day a vehicle is off the road, money is lost. So we believe in the perfect balance between speed and quality.
