01Mobile and on site engineering
Fully equipped service vehicles and travelling welders. We come to the forest block, quarry or yard and carry out repairs where the machine stands.
- Breakdown repair
- On site welding
- UK wide travel
Steelworkedproperly.
Family run fabrication, welding and machinery repair from the Scottish Borders. Workshop builds, precision line boring and mobile on site teams that travel across the UK to get plant back into work.
01 / The company
Three decadesof heavy steeland hard ground
RJ Hall Engineering is a family orientated fabrication and engineering company based at Glenbenna Workshop near Walkerburn. Raymond started the business on his own around thirty years ago. His sons Darren and Dalton joined after completing apprenticeships and are both fully qualified welders.
We specialise in forestry and plant repair, working both in our own workshop and out on site across the UK. Alongside repair work we handle large steel fabrication, plasma profiling and line boring for customers who need machinery back in service quickly and correctly.

02 / Capabilities
Everything themachine needs
Six core disciplines under one roof, backed by mobile teams. Most jobs move between them, which is why the work stays with one company from strip down to handover.
01
02Welding and large steel fabrication
Heavy fabrication built to drawing or built from a conversation and a tape measure. Time served welders working in steel of all sections and thicknesses.
- Structural steel
- Bespoke frames
- Repair and reinforcement
03Line boring
Worn pin bores machined back to size on the machine or in the workshop, then bushed and refitted so joints run true again.
- On machine boring
- Bore and bush
- Pin refurbishment
04CNC plasma profiling
Steel plate cut to profile across a wide range of thicknesses. Clean edges, repeatable parts and one off shapes cut from your file or ours.
- Plate cutting
- Profiles and blanks
- Batch or one off
05Forestry and plant repairs
Harvesters, forwarders, skyline booms, mounders and excavators. Structural repairs and rebuilds for machines that work in punishing conditions.
- Harvester heads
- Skyline booms
- Continuous mounders
06Attachments and digger buckets
Excavator attachments and digger buckets built and repaired to suit the machine and the ground it works in, with wear protection where it matters.
- Custom buckets
- Attachment builds
- Wear plate and teeth
03 / On site
Mobile engineeringthat reaches the job
Callout
Night repair, standing machine
- 01
The call comes in
A machine is down in a forest block or a bucket has split mid shift. We take the detail, work out what can be fixed in place and what has to come back to Glenbenna.
- 02
We travel to the machine
Service vehicles carry welding plant, gas, generators, lighting and line boring equipment, so the repair starts as soon as we arrive rather than after a second trip.
- 03
Repaired to stay repaired
Cracks are gouged out and rewelded, worn bores are machined and bushed, and wear areas are plated so the same failure does not come back next season.

06 / Why RJ Hall
Built onturning up
Our workshop sits at Glenbenna near Walkerburn in the Scottish Borders, and our mobile teams travel across the UK for forestry and plant work. Wherever the machine is, the same standard of repair follows it.
Time served welders
Raymond, Darren and Dalton are all qualified welders. The people who quote the job are the people who carry it out.
We come to you
Equipped service vehicles let us repair machinery where it stands, which keeps downtime and transport costs down.
Repair and fabrication together
Cutting, fabrication, welding and line boring in house means fewer handovers and a faster turnaround.
Forestry ground knowledge
Years spent working with forestry contractors on real sites, in real weather, on machines that cannot wait.
