Description

Format NDT is a UK-based specialist providing comprehensive non-destructive testing services in London and across the surrounding regions. We combine technical expertise, practical experience and a customer-focused approach to deliver reliable inspection and testing solutions for construction, manufacturing, energy, rail, aerospace and specialist industrial projects. Our aim is to help clients manage risk, maintain quality and extend asset life by providing accurate, timely and fully documented inspection data.

Our service offering covers a wide range of NDT methods, from conventional techniques such as visual inspection, dye penetrant and magnetic particle testing through to advanced ultrasonic procedures including phased array and TOFD, radiographic testing with digital imaging, eddy current and thickness gauging. We also provide remote visual inspection using borescopes and fibrescopes, and bespoke inspection programmes tailored to specific asset types. Whether the requirement is for on-site surveys, planned maintenance inspections or factory acceptance testing, our teams bring the right equipment and skills to get the job done efficiently.

All of our technicians hold recognised qualifications and operate under a robust quality management system. Our personnel are PCN-qualified to appropriate levels in their disciplines and work in accordance with industry standards such as ISO 9712 and the principles of ISO 9001. Equipment is maintained and calibrated against national standards to ensure traceable measurements and consistent results. Reports are clear, practical and fully auditable, giving clients the information they need to make informed decisions about repairs, replacements or continued service.

We understand the pressures of working in London environments, from restricted access on busy sites to the need for rapid turnaround during planned shutdowns. Our teams are experienced in coordinating with site managers, safety officers and client representatives to deliver inspections with minimal disruption. The emphasis on safety, communication and punctuality ensures that projects remain on schedule while meeting regulatory and client-specific acceptance criteria.
At Format NDT we believe that reliable inspection is an investment in longevity and safety. Our focus is on delivering high-quality NDT services in London that add real value, reduce unexpected downtime and support long-term asset management strategies. If you require a partner who combines technical rigour with pragmatic service delivery, our team is ready to discuss your requirements and develop a testing programme that works for you.
