The short answer
Sagging or cracked metal gates usually need hinge repair, realignment, and welding of failed joints. This is not a DIY job without welding gear and safe site practice.
Common causes
- Failed weld joints from rust and fatigue
- Worn or bent hinges
- Impact damage from vehicles
- Corroded posts losing alignment
What you can safely check
These are low-risk checks only. Do not open live electrical panels, handle refrigerant, or dismantle fuel systems. If anything feels unsafe, stop and book a verified professional.
- Support a heavy gate so it cannot fall while you inspect
- Photograph cracked welds and bent sections for the artisan
- Do not grind or weld near fuel stores yourself
- Keep children clear of a unstable swinging leaf
When to call a professional
- Gate at risk of falling on a walkway
- Structural posts moving in the ground
- Security compromised on an external entrance
How Tușe and iRanti help
Open the Tuse app and describe what is happening in your own words — for example, “gate welding repair”. iRanti reads the description, suggests the likely service category and a price band, and routes you toward a verified welding professional. It is a preliminary assessment, not a definitive remote diagnosis: the artisan still inspects on site before any repair.
Starting price for Welding
Welding on Tuse starts from ₦15,000. That is starting guidance, not a guaranteed final quote. Scope, parts, and complexity can change the total — you see the price in the app before you confirm, and any on-site change needs your approval first.
