On-Site Balustrade Testing for Safety, Compliance, and Peace of Mind
Balustrades are critical safety features in buildings, providing fall protection on balconies, staircases, walkways, and mezzanines.
Our on-site balustrade testing services are designed to verify that these installations meet structural integrity and safety
requirements under real-world conditions. Whether for residential, commercial, or public infrastructure, our testing ensures your
balustrades comply with local building codes, such as BS 6180, or equivalent regulations—keeping your occupants safe and your project
fully certified.
How On-Site Balustrade Testing Works
Our technicians conduct testing directly at your site using portable load application equipment to simulate static and dynamic forces
that balustrades are expected to withstand. This includes horizontal and vertical load testing, deflection measurement, and in some
cases, impact testing, depending on the regulatory requirements. We assess both the structural performance of the balustrade and the
strength of its fixings and materials. Upon completion, you receive a detailed compliance report with test data, findings, and
recommendations if improvements are needed. Our efficient, non-destructive approach minimizes disruption while giving you confidence in
the safety and reliability of your installation.
