Our Inspection Process
Every inspection is carried out using a structured process designed to provide a professional, efficient and reliable service from initial enquiry through to certification and ongoing compliance support.
Whether inspecting a single item of lifting equipment or managing a large portfolio of assets, our aim is to make statutory compliance straightforward, transparent and easy to manage.
1
Initial Enquiry & Quotation
Every client is different, which is why we begin by understanding your equipment, operational requirements and inspection obligations.
Following your enquiry, we'll provide a clear quotation outlining the inspection requirements, recommended examination intervals and any information required before attending site.
Our team is always available to answer technical questions and help identify which items require statutory thorough examinations.
2
Booking Your Inspection
Once your quotation has been accepted, our office team will arrange an inspection date that works around your operational requirements wherever possible.
Whether your equipment is located at a warehouse, commercial premises, airport, school, residential development or industrial site, we work with you to minimise disruption while ensuring statutory inspection deadlines are met.
3
Thorough Examination on Site
Our competent engineering surveyors attend site to carry out an independent LOLER thorough examination of your lifting equipment.
Each inspection is completed professionally and methodically, assessing the condition of the equipment, identifying defects where present and confirming compliance with the relevant statutory requirements.
Where appropriate, we liaise with your site representative throughout the visit to ensure findings are clearly communicated.
4
Digital Reports & Certification
Following completion of the thorough examination, a professional digital report is produced detailing the findings of the inspection.
Where possible, reports and certification are issued on the same day, allowing clients to update their compliance records quickly and maintain confidence that statutory documentation is readily available when required.
Our reports provide clear defect classifications together with any recommendations arising from the examination.
5
Ongoing Compliance Support
Statutory compliance doesn't end once a report has been issued.
Our inspection management system records your inspection dates and automatically schedules future examinations based on the applicable statutory intervals.
As inspection due dates approach, our team will contact you to arrange the next thorough examination, helping ensure equipment remains compliant without the need for you to manually monitor inspection schedules.
This proactive reminder service helps reduce the risk of equipment becoming overdue and supports uninterrupted compliance across your organisation.
