South East Queensland Mobile Welding has been providing welding and metal fabrication services in southeast Queensland and northeast NSW for more than 30 years.

The business has almost entirely positive reviews online, with customers praising the quality of welding and fabrication work, plus the attention to detail and knowledge of the industry. That plus the exceptional customer service makes for a winning combination.
We didn’t see any pricing on the website, though.

Brumb’s Welding & Fabrication has been operating since 2003, welding aluminum and steel, and fabricating metal for its customers all over the Gold Coast. The company director spent over a decade working in the boat-building industry and mastering the craft of welding there.
Brumb’s can perform TIG and MIG welding, but its niche expertise lies in marine welding jobs. This involves repairing boats, jetties, and pontoons, plus strengthening their construction to withstand salt water, corrosion, and rough conditions out on the seas.
The business also offers mobile welding, meaning they can come to your location to weld items, repair machinery, or take a look at your worn-down marine vessels.
Online reviews have only good things to say about Brumb’s, mentioning great work quality and speedy completion times. It would have been nice to see some pricing estimates for the different services on the Brumb’s website, though.
Absolutely brilliant
“Absolutely brilliant, very talented and a master of his craft. Service was instant, accommodating and extremely reasonably priced. Definitely giving them all my welding and fabrication work.”
- Raffi Manjikian, Google review
I won’t hesitate to recommend
“I can’t speak highly enough of Tony and the lads at Brumbs, got the old tinnie waterproof again. Tough job but nothing was a problem for Tony, definitely goes above and beyond for an amazingly fair price. Thanks again guys, I won’t hesitate to recommend anyone who needs fabrication.”

Our go to for all welding needs
“Mick made us an alloy walk board for one of our removalist trucks and we were more than happy with the finished product. Great communication and quick turnaround from the first phone call. Highly recommended and will be our go to for all welding needs.”
- Gold Coast Local Moves, Google review
Top effort — couldn’t be happier
“We phoned to query pricing and were met with a friendly and professional demeanour. Mick and his team treated us with the utmost respect and were very detailed in explaining what will take place to our beloved GQ. The final product was nothing short of excellent. The projected timeframe was far less and completed much quicker than we initially expected which came as a surprise given the job at hand.”

5. Ram Fab Welding and Fabrication
Address: 13/217 Brisbane Road, Biggera Waters
Phone: 0410645079
Business hours:
- Monday – Friday: 7:30 am – 3:30 pm

Ram Fab Welding and Fabrication was started by a local Gold Coaster who had been working with sheetmetal since 2009, and also had expertise in stainless steel and aluminum products.
He eventually gained skill in TIG and MIG welding as well, and claims to be a well-known TIG welder on the Coast.
Besides TIG and MIG welding services for steel and aluminum, the business also fabricates metal with particular attention to detail and the particular needs of the customer. Their standout offering, though, is laser cutting and CNC folding — basically a method of cutting and shaping metal into precise patterns.
Ram Fab has several positive online reviews from customers. They particularly appreciate the quality of the final products (the term “top-notch” was used more than once), plus great communication and service.
Ram Fab is closed on weekends, so you’ll need to hire them mid-week to experience their service.
Ricky and the boys at Ram Fab are top notch
“We were in a bit of a tight spot with our project when Ricky came on board to help us out. The Ram Fab team worked fast and effectively to help us resolve the issues with our project all while maintaining a high standard of quality. We will not hesitate to use Ram Fab for all our fabrication projects in the future.”
- Peter Fawkner, Google review
A top bloke
