Electrical Safety Testing for Birmingham's Industrial Sector
Birmingham’s industrial estates and logistics hubs drive the West Midlands economy. For businesses operating in this manufacturing powerhouse, keeping electrical systems safe and compliant supports operational continuity.
Hawkesworth provides PAT testing and EICR inspections for Birmingham’s industrial sector.
PAT Testing for Birmingham Manufacturing Sites
PAT testing checks portable electrical equipment across your facility. In Birmingham’s manufacturing environments, that includes heavy-duty plant equipment, power tools and machinery used on production lines.
Our engineers test each item for structural integrity and safe operation. Faulty equipment gets identified before it causes injury or production disruption.
We work around your operations, scheduling testing during planned shutdowns or out of hours to keep your production running.
EICR Testing for Birmingham Industrial Facilities
An EICR checks your building’s fixed electrical installation: wiring, distribution boards, 3-phase systems and motor control centres.
Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, industrial facilities in Birmingham need an EICR every 3-5 years. Your certificate is a legal requirement and an insurance condition.
Manufacturing environments place significant demands on electrical systems. Our Birmingham engineers understand 3-phase system audits and the specific challenges of high-intensity production facilities.
Why Birmingham Businesses Work With Us
In a manufacturing environment, electrical faults can halt entire production lines. Our Birmingham team works with Facilities Managers to schedule testing at times that protect your operations.
As a Hawkesworth customer, we track your compliance schedule and notify you when your next test is due.

Preventing Electrical Faults Before They Cause Downtime
Thermographic Surveys use infrared technology to identify wear and tear in motor control centres and distribution boards before failures occur. This proactive approach helps prevent unexpected downtime.
