Welding

I had a welding job done by Michea4th earlier this week and I was super impressed with the result. Hence I want to offer this recommendation.


The job was to repair a cast iron component that had broken into two parts.


Now, most people think that welding metal is a simple task involving proven technology. That is true only in part eg when it involves steel but cast iron welding is much more complex and often has unpredictable results. The results are often disappointing, so many welders fight shy of taking on a cast iron job. I have been long convinced that successful welding of cast iron involves the dark arts.


When I got the component back from Michael, I was delighted as it was impossible to detect where the repair had actually been carried out -so expertly had it been done.


I am a retired qualified engineer and have dealt with many welders over the years and I must admit I was truly impressed with Michael's knowledge of the subject and his professionalism.


I resisted the temptation to delve too deeply into his secrets of welding cast iron - which as some of us know, is a very difficult exercise to get it right. That aside, he has done a super job and I couldn't be more pleased.


On top of that, he did the job on schedule and within the agreed (very reasonable) price. He dressed the weld carefully and returned the component after spraying it with primer.


Michael will certainly be getting all my welding jobs in future.

I would like to add a belated recommendation to this list. Before Christmas I contacted Michael after seeing recommendations for his work on hear.


My wife who is unwell has a favorite leather reclining chair, unfortunately the metal

Frame had snapped rendering it useless, however after speaking to Michael and describing the problem, he reassured me that he could repair it without any problem.


This he did and after listening to our requirements I have to say the chair came back

Better than new. I would have no hesitation recommending Michael for any welding requirements, he obviously knows his trade.

    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead?
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds?
