Engineering inspection services

We'll help you ensure the safety of plant and machinery and meet statutory UK workplace requirements

Whether you work in retail, manufacturing, logistics, ports, food, beverage or hospitality - all businesses that use equipment and machinery may have the need for statutory inspections.

Our nationwide team of nearly 600 Engineer Surveyors carry out more than 4 million inspections each year. We are committed to market-leading engineering inspection standards and quality, and have the technical expertise and experience to provide inspections across a wide range of disciplines. Independent surveys consistently show our overdue inspection rate is the lowest in the industry.

Advice you can trust from Zurich Engineers

Engineering inspections are effectively the MOT for plant and machinery, and the vast majority we carry out are statutory. As well as helping organisations to avoid regulatory action and fines for non-compliance, inspections can help keep people safe and equipment in good order, by identifying machinery at risk of damage or defects.
