Frequently asked questions
Answers to what people ask Alex most. For anything else, call 0447 111 603.
Can ATMA take on my job?
Most likely. Alex has more than 20 years of experience across heavy earthmoving repairs, general fabrication, structural work, trailers and aluminium. If you’re not sure, call and describe it.
Do you come to us?
Yes. Mobile welding is a big part of the work: breakdowns, machines that can’t be moved, and jobs on farms and sites across metro Perth and regional WA.
Where are you based, and where do you work?
The workshop is in Walliston, in the Perth Hills (City of Kalamunda). On-site work covers metro Perth and regional WA, and remote jobs are fine with some planning ahead.
What should I include when I ask for a quote?
What the item is, the scope (repair, modification or new build), any material or design preferences, where it is, and photos if you can. The quote form takes photos.
How much does welding cost?
It depends on the metal, the size of the job and current material prices. Alex goes through material costs with you upfront, so there are no surprises.
Do you take on small jobs?
Yes. A cracked bracket or a canopy drawer gets the same care as a tipper body.
Do you do custom fabrication?
Yes: gates, trailers, hungry boards, structural steel and one-off pieces, from the first idea to the finished job.
What metals do you weld?
Steel (including plate, pipe and galvanised), stainless, aluminium and cast alloy.
How do you make sure the work lasts?
Alex is a certified metal tradesman with more than 20 years’ experience. He uses quality materials and proven welding techniques, and checks the work before handing it back.
Why use a small business instead of a bigger company?
You deal directly with Alex: the person who quotes your job is the person who does it. That means personal attention and clear communication from start to finish.
