We had our yearly Pat Testing completed. The operative was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend to anyone who is considering using Hawkesworth and we will definitely be using them moving forward annually ...

Both very professional, approachable and very well organised, which made the whole process run smoothly. Everything was explained clearly, disruption was kept to a minimum, and it was obvious they take pride in doing the job properly.
Several people commented on how efficient and pleasant you were to deal with.
Thanks again for your hard work — it was genuinely appreciated. We would be more than happy to have the same engineers again next year.

I’ve been using Hawkesworth for over seven years across various businesses for PAT testing, and they have consistently delivered an outstanding service. The booking and planning team are always friendly, helpful, and efficient, making the process smooth from start to finish.
The engineers they send are professional, polite, and trustworthy, qualities that really matter when working on-site in financial businesses. Our regional office managers have repeatedly commented on how impressed they were with the care and consideration shown during testing, both for our property and our staff.
Hawkesworth truly go above and beyond to provide a turnkey solution that ensures PAT testing is carried out correctly and with minimal disruption. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, customer-focused company.
Thank you, Hawkesworth!

As a new customer of Hawkesworth, I wanted to share my positive experience after using multiple services. From the moment I submitted an online enquiry, I received an immediate response—Debbie was incredibly helpful in explaining all the services Hawkesworth offers.
The follow-up process was seamless, with appointments scheduled promptly and honored as agreed. Every engineer who visited our site delivered exceptional service. They kept us informed about upcoming visits, arrived on time, and throughout the work, they were attentive to our company’s needs, going above and beyond to ensure excellent customer care.
The services provided included PAT testing, fire extinguisher checks, and emergency lighting inspections.
Based on this experience, I would highly recommend Hawkesworth to other businesses.

GeneFirst Ltd has been using Hawkesworth Appliance Testing for the last 2 years at our current site location.
Last year I had the pleasure of meeting Kobla Dogbatse the PAT engineer from Hawkesworth and he was fantastic.
Kobla, was efficient and thorough with his work, he was polite and pleasure to have on site.
He was respectful to all staff members by trying to limit any distraction or disturbance when conducting his work on any appliances that the team would be using.
This year I was lucky enough to have Kobla come back and I was thrilled to have him back as I knew the work would be done to the highest standards.
I allowed him to continue with his work without supervision and once finished he came into my office with a smile on his face and said everything is done and its all good.
I would highly recommend Hawkesworth to other companies as they are efficient with their communication and their engineers are a pleasure to have on site.
Thank you again for the great work and I hope to continue using your services in the future.
