Default Welding recommendations Sussex

Hello, do you lovely people have any recommendations for scooby welding in Sussex, preferably near to Brighton or Burgess Hill?

My classic wagon needs at least one new sill (though I might get both done at the same time depending on what sort of prices I get quoted) and possibly a spot of the dreaded rear arch rot. Apologies if this in the wrong section.

Cheers!

I'd talk to SMD in Newhaven, if they can't do it they'll know someone who can.

It's a significant job and I expect it's worse on the inner arch than it looks on the outside. Thankfully all the repair panels other than the rear strut tower are now available so labour costs won't be as bad as when I had to have mine fabricated 8 or so years ago.

Thanks for the reply, I’ve been given a number for a guy in Seaford.

Yes, I’ve seen many a horror thread on various forums! I’ve pulled back trim and seen what I can of the strut towers and down the side where the toolkit/jack are kept, and it doesn’t seem TOO bad but let’s see!
Cheers
