LOLER & PUWER Thorough Examinations
in Kent, London & Essex
Independent statutory inspections that work around you
A thorough examination is the statutory safety inspection that LOLER 1998, PUWER 1998 and PSSR 2000 require on work equipment. It is a legal duty, not a service or a maintenance visit, and it must be carried out by a competent person who is independent of whoever maintains the equipment.
Most lifting equipment needs one every 12 months. Anything that lifts people, and every lifting accessory, needs one every 6. If you are a duty holder with lifts, cranes, hoists, MEWPs, plant, racking or pressure systems, that duty is yours, and we carry out the examination and issue the report you are legally required to keep.

About us
Who Excel Inspection Solutions is, and who we work for
EIS is an independent statutory inspection company. We carry out thorough examinations and nothing else: we do not sell equipment, hire fleets, hold maintenance contracts, or sit behind an insurance product. That is the whole business model, and it is what lets an examination report say what it found.
Focusing on the needs of customers is the cornerstone of what led to the formation of EIS as our priority is to offer exemplary services and advice that work around you & your company.
Most of our clients are based in London and the South of England. However, as part of the Engineer Surveyor Inspection Network (ESiNet), a national network of Engineer Surveyors, we can call upon skilled and knowledgeable engineers to undertake examinations across the United Kingdom.

What we do
LOLER thorough examinations for duty holders
We undertake LOLER thorough examinations for property management companies, chartered surveyors, construction firms and vehicle repair shops, which includes the delivery of a statutory report that is clear and coherent.
Renewal reminders and weekend slots
There are no sudden surprises with us! When your assets are due for their inspection, we'll get in touch to make an appointment. Saturday inspections are at no additional charge — evening and Sunday slots can be arranged, with any premium shown upfront on the quote.
Digital reports with photographs
Your statutory and emergency reports are sent to you in digital form with photographs to help illustrate any issues. You can easily access your reports at any time through our user-friendly portal using a username and password that we provide for you.
Examined by a qualified engineer surveyor
Every examination is carried out by a competent person, which is what LOLER Regulation 9 requires by name: a qualified engineer surveyor with the technical knowledge to judge a defect, not a maintenance technician working through a checklist.
Support Beyond the Report
Our services don't stop at the examination. If you have questions about your report, or need help with anything else such as consultancy, condition surveys, or a maintenance audit, just get in touch and we'll talk it through.
Services
Inspection services we provide
We offer a variety of other services that go much further than our inspections:
Meet the engineer-surveyor who'll be inspecting your equipment
EIS is owner-led. Joe Ward founded the business after years working as an Engineer Surveyor across lifting equipment, pressure systems, and workplace safety compliance. Joe leads the inspections personally, which keeps the technical standards high and the reporting grounded in what duty holders actually need.
That matters because Tier-1 inspection nationals can't match owner-led delivery — and where work needs delivering outside our core South East coverage, our ESiNet partner engineers are vetted and briefed against the same standards.
LOLER & PUWER Guides
Plain-English compliance guides grounded in HSE guidance, British Standards and the regulatory text — covering what gets checked, how often, and what duty holders need to know.
