PRACTICAL VAN REPAIRS
Rust Shouldn't Write Off a Working Van.
Finding someone willing to carry out welding repairs on a van isn't always easy — particularly when corrosion is involved.
At DPF Logic, we offer welding and repair work for vans and light commercial vehicles, including MOT-related corrosion repairs and practical fabrication.
The aim is simple: assess the affected area properly, remove compromised material where necessary and carry out a sound, practical repair to help keep the vehicle working.
WHAT WE CAN HELP WITH
Welding for Working Vehicles.
From MOT corrosion to damaged brackets and practical fabrication, we take on the sort of repairs that can keep a useful vehicle on the road.
MOT Welding
Welding repairs following an MOT failure or advisory where corrosion has affected a relevant structural area.
Corrosion Repairs
Assessment and repair of localised corrosion where sound material can be restored with an appropriate welded repair.
Sills & Structural Areas
Repairs to suitable corroded sections around sills and other structural areas, subject to inspection.
Brackets & Mountings
Repair or fabrication of suitable damaged and corroded brackets, mounts and associated components.
Practical Fabrication
Straightforward fabrication work where an existing component can be repaired or a practical solution can be made.
Cars & Commercial Vehicles
We carry out practical welding repairs on cars, vans and light commercial vehicles, with a focus on MOT failures, corrosion and everyday repair work.
FAILED AN MOT?
Don't Assume the Vehicle Is Finished.
Corrosion on an MOT failure can look intimidating, but it doesn't automatically mean the vehicle is beyond economical repair.
We'll inspect the affected area and look at the condition of the surrounding metal before deciding whether a sensible repair is possible.
If you've got an MOT failure sheet, bring it with the vehicle or send us the details when you enquire. It gives us a useful starting point for assessing what needs attention.
Ask us about your MOT failure →THE REPAIR MATTERS
More Than Covering Up Rust.
Welding over badly corroded material doesn't solve the underlying problem.
Where required, compromised material needs to be removed so the condition of the surrounding area can be assessed and a suitable repair carried out.
Every job is different, particularly on older working vehicles, so we'll assess the vehicle before agreeing the scope of the repair.
NO GUESSWORK
Why We Need to See the Vehicle.
Corrosion repairs are difficult to price accurately from a single photograph because the visible rust isn't always the full extent of the problem.
Initial Enquiry
Tell us the vehicle details and what needs attention. Photos and an MOT failure sheet can be useful at this stage.
Inspect the Vehicle
We inspect the affected area and surrounding metal to understand the likely extent of the repair.
Agree the Repair
Once we've seen what we're dealing with, we can discuss the appropriate repair and likely cost with you.
A SENSIBLE APPROACH
Not Every Welding Job Makes Sense.
Sometimes corrosion is much more extensive than it first appears. If we believe a repair would be impractical, uneconomical or the affected structure is outside the type of repair work we take on, we'll tell you.
Our focus is on sensible, localised repairs rather than major structural restoration or extensive reconstruction work.
If it's worth repairing, we'll discuss the options. If it isn't, we'll tell you that too.CARS • VANS • LIGHT COMMERCIALS
MOT Welding for Cars & Working Vans.
We carry out practical MOT and corrosion welding repairs on cars, vans and light commercial vehicles. Our focus is on sensible, localised repairs — not major structural restoration or extensive reconstruction work.

WELDING FAQ
Common Questions
Can you repair welding listed on an MOT failure?
Yes, depending on the location and extent of the corrosion. Bring the MOT failure sheet with the vehicle or send us the details when enquiring and we'll assess what is required.
Can you quote a welding repair from photographs?
Photos can help us understand the general area and severity, but corrosion often extends further than the visible damage. For that reason, we normally need to inspect the vehicle before confirming the scope and cost of a repair.
Do you repair rusty sills?
Yes, where the affected area is suitable for repair. We can carry out localised sill and corrosion repairs on cars, vans and light commercial vehicles. The vehicle will need to be inspected first so we can assess the condition of the surrounding metal.
Do you carry out fabrication work?
Yes. We can carry out practical fabrication for suitable vehicle repairs, including certain brackets, mountings and repair sections. Contact us with the details of what you need.
Do you take on major structural restoration work?
Our focus is on sensible, localised MOT and corrosion repairs rather than major structural restoration or extensive reconstruction work. If you're unsure whether your repair falls within what we do, send us the details and we'll let you know.
Do you weld cars as well?
Yes. We can carry out MOT and corrosion welding repairs on cars as well as vans and light commercial vehicles. We focus on practical, localised repairs rather than major structural restoration or extensive reconstruction work.
