Quick answer

What does a welder do, and what is a coded welder?

A welder fabricates and repairs in steel, aluminium and stainless — gates, railings, balustrades, brackets and structural steelwork — typically £200–£1,000 for domestic work. Structural steel for a building carries a separate requirement: fabricators must work to BS EN 1090 and CE or UKCA mark the steelwork, which a general welding shop may not be certified to do.

Welder workmanship in Kings Lynn

Welder terms explained — Kings Lynn glossary

Coded Welder(Coding)
A welder tested and certified to a specific standard for a defined process, material and joint configuration. Coding is narrow by design — a welder coded for one process and thickness is not thereby qualified for another.
BS EN 1090(EN 1090)
The standard governing fabrication of structural steel for construction, requiring factory production control and UKCA or CE marking. A beam carrying load in a house falls under it, which is why the fabricator matters as much as the engineer.
MIG, TIG and Stick(Processes)
MIG is fast and suits thicker mild steel; TIG is slower, cleaner and the choice for stainless, aluminium and visible work; stick welding tolerates outdoor conditions and dirty material. Visible gates and balustrades are usually TIG for the finish.
Galvanising and Finish(Galv)
Hot-dip galvanising after fabrication is what stops external steelwork rusting at the welds. Painting over bare weld seams without it is the reason most cheap external gates fail first at the joints.
