How quickly can I get a quote for on-site load testing in London?

London Fixing Testing Ltd provides instant quotes by phone on 020 3538 9985 or by email on hello@londonfixingtesting.co.uk during office hours (weekdays, 9am–5pm). Testing visits are typically arranged within 2–3 working days, with next-day attendance available for urgent requirements.

Does your testing meet British Standards for project sign off?

Yes, London Fixing Testing Ltd conducts testing to applicable British Standards. BS8539 for load testing fixings in tension and shear. BS2853 for load testing of lifting beams and runway beams. BS1542 for load testing of bond strength. We also load test to client specifications. All work completed by competent qualified civil engineers, so you can rest assured work is done right first time.

How long does on-site load testing take?

95% of projects are completed with 4 hours testing on-site, and report issued next working day. The duration of on-site load testing depends on the number of fixings, beams or samples to be tested, and access provided.

What qualifications do London Fixing Testing Ltd engineers hold?

Engineers at London Fixing Testing Ltd are degree-qualified civil engineers with training from the CFA (Construction Fixings Association) and LEEA (Lifting Equipment Engineers Association). Our test engineers have up to date CSCS cards, IPAF (mobile elevated working platform), PASMA (mobile access scaffold tower), asbestos awareness, and working at height training, ensuring safe and compliant site operations.

What makes London Fixing Testing Ltd different from other load testing companies?

The team at London Fixing Testing Ltd have over 45+ years of engineering experience and have successfully delivered over 350+ projects to date. Experienced, trained, and competent engineers complete all of your work from initial contact to report submission. We are trusted by our clients because we understand the importance of context and use our expertise to deliver results that are relevant and reliable. We are fast, accurate and professional in all our interactions with you. Get in touch and find out for yourself.

Do you work outside of London?

Yes, London Fixing Testing Ltd primarily operates in London and the South-East, where we deliver the majority of our independent on-site load testing services. However, for more complex works, larger-scale projects, or specialist requirements, we regularly travel across the UK (including the Midlands and the North).
Contact one of our experienced engineers today on 020 3538 9985 to discuss your project location and requirements, we're happy to advise on feasibility, mobilisation, and next steps.

Can you carry out non-standard, bespoke, or custom load testing?

Yes, London Fixing Testing Ltd designs and carries out bespoke on-site load testing where standard test methods or equipment do not suit the application. This includes non-standard fixing configurations, unusual anchor head profiles, and structural components that require purpose-built test equipment or adaptors.
Where needed, we design and fabricate custom test equipment in-house; for example, specialised beam testing spreader arrangement to bridge across existing plant room equipment, or low-profile adaptors to attach to hex head fixings with limited clearance. This means testing can proceed on-site without delay, where off-the-shelf solutions would not work.

Do you supply or install fixings, anchors or other components?

No, London Fixing Testing Ltd provides independent on-site load testing only, we do not supply or install fixings, anchors, brackets, beams or adhesives. This independence is deliberate: it ensures our test results are fully objective, free from any conflict of interest, and carry genuine assurance value for engineers, contractors and building control.
We work alongside a wide range of clients, contractors, manufacturers and suppliers across London and the UK, providing third-party verification of installed components.

Where does London Fixing Testing Ltd operate?

London Fixing Testing Ltd is based in London and primarily serves construction projects across Greater London, including the City, Canary Wharf, and Central London. For larger or more complex projects, the team also travels to sites across the UK.
