I'm a perfectionist when it comes to structural repairs, and being a coded welder I'm more than capable of carrying out repairs to the standard of Tom.........however, what would take him a day, would take me a week.

I've always done my own repair work in terms of welding and fabrication, and find it extremely difficult to delegate work of any sort.

The exception being Tom Hobbs, it takes an awful lot to impress me, but Tom impressed me from the moment I clapped eyes on his workmanship, and I for one would have no hesitation in recommending his services.

He isn't simply a "welder" he is an artisan metalworker, employing skills that are rarely seen today.

And for this alone, I travelled a total of 650 miles in delivering and retrieving my father's car.

If you want pictures of the before during and after simply let me know and I'll email them to you
