Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to some common questions about our inspection services. If you can't find what you're looking for, just get in touch.
Do I need to have my equipment inspected?
It depends on the equipment, how it is used and the legislation that applies. Lifting equipment may require Thorough Examination under LOLER, certain work equipment requires inspection under PUWER, and qualifying pressure systems require examination in accordance with a Written Scheme under PSSR. If you're unsure what applies, send us the equipment details and we can help establish the appropriate scope.
Is an inspection or examination the same as servicing?
No. Inspection or Thorough Examination assesses the condition of equipment and identifies relevant defects or deterioration. Servicing and maintenance involve work such as adjustment, lubrication, replacement and repair. One does not replace the other.
What are ‘insurance inspections’, and do you provide them?
The term ‘insurance inspection’ is commonly used for engineering inspections or statutory examinations traditionally arranged through insurers. These do not need to be purchased through an insurer or broker and can be arranged directly with an independent competent provider such as Steadfast Compliance. We provide LOLER, PUWER and PSSR examinations and inspections, alongside non-statutory mechanical condition inspections.
Do you provide equipment repairs or maintenance?
No. Steadfast Compliance provides independent engineering inspection services and does not sell equipment, maintenance or repair services. This maintains separation between our assessment of the equipment and any subsequent remedial work.
What happens if a defect is identified during an inspection?
Any defects identified will be clearly recorded within the report, together with the appropriate action and timescale where required. Where a defect cannot be rectified within the stated timescale, the equipment should be taken out of service until the necessary action has been completed.
What should I do if my equipment is overdue for examination?
If a required statutory examination has become overdue, the equipment should be taken out of service until the necessary examination has been completed. Contact us as soon as possible and, where availability permits, we can offer priority attendance, including early morning, evening or weekend appointments.
Will I receive a report after the inspection?
Yes. A report will be provided following the examination or inspection, recording the equipment examined, relevant findings and any defects or actions identified.
Do I need to use a customer portal to receive my reports?
No. Reports can be provided directly by email if preferred, so you don't need to use a customer portal simply to access your inspection documentation.
Do I need to keep track of when my inspections are due?
The dutyholder remains responsible for ensuring examinations and inspections are completed when due. We help clients keep track of upcoming requirements and will contact you in advance to arrange the next examination or inspection.
What information do you need to provide a quotation?
Usually the equipment type, approximate quantity and site location are enough to get started. Previous reports, Written Schemes, installation documentation or Declarations of Conformity can also help establish the scope and avoid unnecessary additional testing.
Need maintenance, repairs or specialist support?
Steadfast Compliance provides independent engineering inspection services and does not sell, maintain or repair equipment. To help clients find suitable support where remedial work or action is required, we maintain a directory of service and repair providers for common equipment types.
Companies are listed for convenience only and are not endorsed, appointed or recommended by Steadfast Compliance Ltd. Listings are presented alphabetically and clients remain free to appoint a service provider of their choice. Certifications and accreditations should be confirmed directly with the provider before appointment.
