Our Services

Find out more below

Electrical Appliance
(PAT) Testing Read more

Electrical appliance (PAT) testing is the quickest and easiest way of ensuring your environment is safe for your employees or residents. 

We check the structural integrity of each portable device, as well as its ability to regulate power, and any safeguarding measures implemented to avoid injury or risk of fire. 

We’ve been PAT testing the nation for over 30 years, and have one of the largest network of qualified engineers in the UK. 

EICR Testing
(Fixed Wire) Read more

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (Fixed Wire Testing) is the inspection and testing of electrical installations.

This ensures compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations Act 1989, helping to mitigate potential fire risks associated with damaged installations.

Hawkesworth offer EICR testing services across the UK & Ireland. Our network of highly skilled engineers ensures that every area is covered, providing prompt testing and necessary remedial work.

Fire Risk
Assessments Read more

A fire risk assessment (also known as a fire safety assessment) determines what you need to do to prevent fire, as well as what you need to do in the event of a fire.

A fire risk assessment helps you to identify fire hazards, identify those at risk, and determine what you need to do to reduce or remove any risks.

Fire risk assessments should be reviewed once a year. It’s a legal requirement for all commercial buildings, as well as large HMOs and communal areas of residential flats.

Fire Alarm
Testing & Servicing Read more

Current regulations state that all business premises in the UK and Ireland must have a fire detection system to alert occupants in case of a fire.   

Fire alarms need regular testing and inspection by a ‘competent’ person to ensure that they are not only in full working order but to also prevent the risk of any false alarms. 

Keep your occupants safe, and the Fire Service happy with testing and servicing from Hawkesworth. 

Emergency Lighting
Testing Read more

Emergency lighting provides illumination if a building experiences a power fairlure. It can help keep staff calm and enable safer evacuation from the building as well as finding fire-fighting equipment.  

Emergency lighting is powered by rechargeable batteries and must be tested regularly to ensure they will power up in an emergency.  

We have a network of experienced emergency lighting testing engineers across the UK, Ireland and the Channel Islands who can carry out 1 and 3-hour drainage testing.

Thermographic
Survey Read more

A thermographic survey (thermal imaging) uses a powerful infrared camera to identify potential dangers in electric components.

If any parts are damaged or have loose connections, the camera will quickly be able to identify it through the heat signatures produced.

A thermographic survey is a non-disruptive approach to electrical testing, as systems do not need to be switched off, making it a popular solution for schools, hospitals and prisons, as they can continue their daily operations as normal.

EV Charger
Maintenance Read more

Electric vehicle (EV) charger maintenance is a business essential for ensuring the continued safe and reliable operation of your charging equipment.

It’s not uncommon that whole fleets of vehicles are now electric, and regular maintenance of their charge points is critical for ensuring smooth operations.

We have a team of experienced technicians specialising in EV charger maintenance, ready to keep your charging infrastructure in optimal condition and ensure a seamless charging experience for your users.

RCD
Testing Read more

Residual Current Device (RCD) testing is a vital process for ensuring the ongoing safety of your electrical installations. RCDs are crucial safety devices designed to prevent electric shock by quickly cutting off the power in the event of a fault.

Our testing involves verifying the RCD’s tripping time and also visual inspection of the devices for any signs of damage or degradation that could compromise their effectiveness.

A 5-star service, really impressed by communications and the organisation of our visit. Two engineers arrived at 7am, ideal timing for a busy GP surgery, they were able to PAT our waiting areas and reception offices before the phones went live at 8am. They were so polite, efficient and made the whole procedure painless. Would definitely recommend for PAT tests and will consider other services in the future. "BIG THANKS" to Michael Fisher and his colleague who visited us on 25/09/2024 - a great job!!

We are a large GP practice in Surrey with many items that needed PAT testing but the engineer was not phased by this and dealt with them all efficiently and didn't mind waiting for surgeries to finish before he could get into certain rooms. Excellent!

I was struggling to find a company to PAT test our appliances at our offices in Southampton. I found Hawkesworth via an internet search and emailed a query. I had an answer and illustration on the same day and had booked in for an engineer to visit. The engineer turned up on time and was very efficient and friendly. I will definitely use Hawkesworth in the future. Thank you

Used this company for many years. Easy booking process, reasonable fee. Testers always understand we have a busy working environment and work with us to limit disruption while making sure a through examination is done. Very helpful at locating tools which sometimes have not been returned to their homes, so will have a good look around and find and test them wherever they have been left which is very helpful for us.
