Services
Precision Welding
Burnhouse Engineering delivers precision welding services across steel, aluminium, and plastics using ISO-certified processes. Our coded welders specialise in TIG, MIG, and orbital welding for pharmaceutical, aerospace, and food industry applications. With in-house inspection and mobile welding capabilities, we ensure compliance with BS EN ISO 9606-1 standards for both structural and hygienic pipework requirements.
Metal Fabrication
Our metal fabrication services combine laser cutting, CNC folding, and assembly for carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminium components. From single brackets to structural frameworks, we maintain tight tolerances using 80-ton brake press equipment. This service supports architectural projects, industrial machinery, and public sector infrastructure with rapid turnaround and full traceability.
Orbital Welding
Specialist orbital welding services for high-purity applications in pharmaceutical and semiconductor industries. Using programmable TIG systems, we create contamination-free welds with full documentation. Our cleanroom-ready equipment ensures repeatable quality for sanitary piping systems, gas lines, and pressure vessels requiring ASME BPE compliance.
Project Management
End-to-end project management covering design, fabrication, and installation phases. Our team coordinates technical specifications, material procurement, and on-site execution for complex engineering projects. This service ensures compliance with BS EN 1090-2 standards while maintaining client visibility throughout the engineering lifecycle.
Architectural Metalwork
Custom architectural metal fabrication for balustrades, staircases, and public sculptures. We work with designers and local authorities to transform creative concepts into durable installations. Our capabilities include precision cutting, welding, and finishing for both decorative and structural applications requiring strength and aesthetic precision.
