Independent engineer surveyor inspections

Compliance reports that stand up to scrutiny.

City Inspection Services Ltd supports duty holders with LOLER thorough examinations, PUWER inspections and PSSR pressure-system work across Scotland and the North East.

Inspection by regime

A clearer way to control statutory inspection evidence.

Facility managers need fast answers: which regulation applies, what will be checked, what records prove control and when the next action is due.

LOLER

LOLER Thorough Examinations

Clear reports, defect photos where needed, practical remedial guidance and impartial inspection support without relying on an insurer-appointed engineer.

Inspection services

Statutory inspection support for serious duty holders.

Start with the regulation, the equipment type or the location you manage. Each service page explains what is inspected, why it matters and how City Inspection Services helps businesses keep evidence organised.

From the field

Real inspection work.

The guidance is supported by real inspection contexts: lifting equipment, pressure plant and site conditions that duty holders recognise from everyday compliance work.

Authority content

Built around compliance, not slogans.

Customers arranging LOLER, PUWER and PSSR work need practical confidence: what is due, who can inspect it, what evidence is produced and how quickly defects are communicated.

Proof and preparation

Case studies, equipment pages and checklists.

Pages for every major service area.
