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.

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.
