Default Welding in North Wales

Hi,
I am struggling to find a decent welder in North Wales, in particular, Flintshire. Does anyone know of one! please. I've got the usual sill rot!

Might be worth contacting Jules near Colwyn Bay.

Don't think Jules does that himself but he arranged for some sills welding on my 75 at a place in the centre of Colwyn 2yrs or so back.

Was a solid job, not the prettiest but was urgently needed for MoT so a needs/must situation.

I gather Tom Hobbs is the man for sills work but heavily in demand.
I understand you can buy replacement sills from him for fitting elsewhere.

As posted - best to buy a Tom Hobbs sill section on e bay - they are the best - and get a local welder to do the job - Tom is so busy with major restorations he cannot fit sills in .
