On Site Welding Services
Mobile Welding Services in Scotland
When you need a welding project completed quickly and correctly – without the downtime of moving plant, pipework or steelwork off-site – Burnhouse Engineering can deliver reliable, professional and high-quality mobile welding services for engineering projects across Scotland and northern England. We bring qualified welders, equipment and practical engineering know-how to your site to complete repairs, modifications and fabrication safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to your operation.
Whether it’s planned maintenance, a shutdown, or an urgent breakdown, our team supports businesses that need dependable, on-the-ground capabilities that cover onsite welding, onsite engineering, and mobile welding and fabrication in one responsive service.
Onsite Welding Services for Repairs, Maintanance and Installations
Our onsite welding services are designed for real-world engineering environments -where access, time pressure, safety controls and quality expectations matter. We work alongside your team and follow site procedures to complete welding tasks that keep projects moving and assets productive.
Typical onsite welding support includes:
- Emergency repairs to damaged steelwork, brackets, frames and supports
- Welding repairs to plant and equipment components (where suitable for on-site work)
- Modifications and strengthening works to existing structures
- Installation welding for new steel sections, handrails, platforms and access systems
- Tack-up, fit-up support and final weld-out during site installs
- Planned maintenance work during outages and shutdown windows
- Planned major engineering construction projects that need on site engineering services
If you’re looking for reliable onsite welding services delivered with a practical approach and clear communication, Burnhouse Engineering is set up to support you.
On Site Welding Services That Reduce Downtime and Cost
Choosing Burnhouse Engineering’s welding services can significantly reduce downtime compared to removing assets for workshop repair. It also reduces logistics, transport costs, and the risk of additional damage during handling.
Our approach is focused on:
- Speed of mobilisation: quick scheduling for urgent works where feasible
- Efficiency on site: correct equipment brought to the job first time
- Clear scope control: agreeing what’s required before work begins
- Quality outcomes: a professional finish aligned with the application and environment
If your priority is getting your project back quickly, our on site welding services are often the most commercially sensible option – particularly for fixed installations, structural steelwork, and difficult-to-remove components.
Onsite Welding: What We Can Work With
Orbital TIG welding (Tungsten Inert Gas) is a fusion welding process using a non-consumable tungsten electrode and shielding gas (usually argon) to protect the weld zone. It’s the gold standard for welding stainless steel tubes in high-purity applications.
Our orbital TIG welders are programmed to match your material specification, tube diameter, and wall thickness, ensuring consistent weld geometry and performance across every joint.
Every site job is different, so we plan around the material, thickness, access and working environment. Our onsite welding capability typically covers a wide range of fabrication and repair requirements.
Materials we commonly weld on-site
- Carbon steel and mild steel
- Stainless steel (where appropriate for the application)
- Aluminium (job-dependent, subject to access and preparation requirements)
Processes typically used on-site
- MIG welding (fast, productive for many steel fabrication tasks)
- TIG welding (high control for thinner sections and stainless applications)
- MMA/Stick welding (robust process suited to site conditions)
If you already have a preferred welding procedure or site specification, we can work to your requirements and coordinate with your team to ensure the correct method is used.
Mobile Welding and Fabrication for Site-Based Builds and Modifications
Burnhouse Engineering provides mobile welding and fabrication for projects that need practical fabrication capability at your location—particularly where adjustments are required “in situ” to match real site conditions.
Examples of mobile fabrication support
- Fabricating and fitting small steel components, brackets and supports
- Modifying existing steelwork to suit new equipment or layouts
- Repairs and reinforcement to worn or damaged assemblies
- Fitment of edge protection, handrails, gates and access features
- Punch-list welding and finishing during construction and installation works
This is a strong option when dimensions on drawings meet reality on site, and you need experienced engineers who can problem-solve, fabricate, and complete the weld-out without delaying the wider programme.
Onsite Engineering Support for Industrial and Construction Environments
Beyond welding alone, Burnhouse Engineering delivers onsite engineering support that helps you manage practical constraints such as access, sequencing, and integration with other trades.
We regularly support:
- Construction and structural steel environments
- Industrial facilities and manufacturing sites
- Plant rooms, service areas and operational buildings
- Maintenance teams needing additional site capability
Where required, we can align with permit-to-work processes, coordinate around other contractors, and deliver work in a way that supports your safety culture and programme demands.
How Our Mobile Welding Service Works
- Initial scope call: You share the issue, site location, timings and any constraints.
- Site requirements check: Access, safety controls, permits, and working area considerations.
- Mobilise and complete works: We attend site with the right kit and complete the weld or fabrication tasks.
- Handover: Clear sign-off and confirmation of what’s been completed.
If you have photos, drawings, or a brief description of the problem, we can usually advise the best next step quickly.
Safety, Planning and Site Compliance
- Risk assessment and method statements where required (RAMS)
- Coordination with permit-to-work systems and site inductions
- Appropriate controls for hot works, fumes, and work area management
- A professional, tidy working approach that respects operational sites
