Core offering

Inspection Network is a UKAS-accredited Type A Inspection Body providing statutory examination and inspection services for cranes, lifts, lifting and handling equipment, pressure plant, presses, LEV systems, and electrical installations under LOLER, PSSR, COSHH, and BS 7671 regulations. All inspections are carried out by directly employed, multi-skilled engineers (95% ex-military) covering the whole of the UK, with quotations generated through a 24/7 online quote engine for insurance brokers.

Product overview

The core offering consists of statutory examination services for lifting equipment (cranes, lifts, lifting and handling equipment), pressure plant (pressure vessels, presses), LEV systems, and electrical installations. Additionally, they provide an Online Quote Engine platform for insurance brokers to generate quotations. All services are delivered by their own employed engineers (95% ex-military) and are backed by UKAS ISO 17020:2012 Type A accreditation.
