INFORMATION
& ADVICE
How long does boiler inspection preparation take?
Most annual inspection preparations take 2–5 working days, depending on the boiler’s size and condition. Five-year NDT preparations may take longer due to additional disassembly, weld exposure, and testing. We work around production schedules to minimise disruption.
How far in advance should I schedule boiler inspection preparation?
We recommend booking inspection preparation at least 6-8 weeks in advance of your insurance date and five-year NDT preparation 3-6 months in advance. This allows time to plan, carry out necessary repairs, and minimise downtime.
Do you handle coordination with insurance inspectors?
We liaise directly with insurance inspectors to plan inspection schedules, ensure boiler readiness, and support them throughout the testing process, making the process seamless for your business.
Do you provide nationwide inspection preparation services?
Our mobile teams operate across the UK, offering full inspection preparation, NDT support, valve testing, and repairs. We bring specialist tools and equipment on-site, reducing transport costs and downtime.
What happens if issues are found during an inspection?
If an inspector or NDT technician identifies a fault, we provide a detailed engineering assessment, repair plan, and quotation. Our in-house fabrication and welding teams can quickly carry out repairs or further testing to keep your boiler operational and compliant.

Comprehensive industrial boiler servicing for steam and hot water boilers.
Insurance inspections are mandatory to meet statutory requirements. These inspections are performed both annually and every five years on steam boilers and hot water boilers over 110°C. We provide full servicing contracts to prepare boilers for their insurance inspection, to identify and resolve any issues that would otherwise fail the inspection and force a shutdown while repairs are made.
As well as preparing the boiler for inspection, we liaise with and accompany the insurance inspector during their inspection, and will supply a quote and timeframe for any remedial works required, to ensure the boiler is back in service as quickly as possible.
Our servicing solutions also include the overhaul and testing of safety valves in preparation for inspection, which is a requirement by insurance companies on an annual basis. Valve overhauls can be performed onsite or at our workshop, as part of our annual inspection preparation or independently.
