When rust reaches the chassis or key structural points, it’s more than just an MOT issue – it’s a safety problem. Star Welding Mansfield provides professional chassis and structural welding for cars, vans and light commercial vehicles, keeping them safe, solid and roadworthy. Your chassis and structural repairs are handled by B6 & 6G coded MIG/TIG welders, focused on strength and safety.
The chassis and main structural areas of your vehicle carry the load, support the suspension and protect you in a crash. Once rust takes hold here, it needs to be dealt with properly – not just covered up.

Our full guide explains what happens during a chassis welding inspection and the repair work that follows.
Rust around suspension mounts, subframe mounts and jacking points is common on older vehicles. We carefully cut back the area, rebuild the strength with new steel and ensure the mounting points are correctly positioned and fully welded. This helps your vehicle remain safe and stable under braking and cornering.
Chassis rails, crossmembers and box sections often trap moisture and rot from the inside out. We open up the affected sections, remove the rusted metal and weld in new box or plate sections to restore the original strength. Where needed, we add strengthening plates to spread the load.
Why Proper Structural Welding Matters
Quick patches over rust might look tidy, but they don’t restore the strength your vehicle was designed to have. Our focus is on doing the job once and doing it right – cutting out corrosion, rebuilding the structure and protecting it so you can drive away confident in the safety of your car or van.
