Question Mild Steel Welding

My Prodrive backbox needs some welding as part of the seam has separated.
Does anyone know of a place local to hertfordshire that does this kind of work?

Cheers

Mark

you can still weld stainless with carbon steel wire it just wont last as long, by the way i do coded welding for a living, just make sure they use a mig welder and not stick

yes all three welding procedures in carbon steel and stainless steel but only in 2G as the company i work for dont require 6G, and its in ASME VIII and 5500(the british standard) as well.
