Since commencement in 1976, our comprehensive and collective team of NDT engineers have provided services that remain unrivalled, all under the careful stewardship of Managing Director Brian Justice.

Choosing from an array of NDT companies can be a daunting task, but acquiring the right partner for your business’  non-destructive testing needs is paramount.

It’s sometimes hard to avoid what sounds like a cliché but Format NDT have a proven track record of achievement and success in offering NDT services for decades throughout the UK, and further afield on many occasions. Whether operating from their substantive and well-equipped home base, situated close to the national motorway network, or out providing on site testing and examinations to meet the customer’s needs wherever they be, whenever they are needed, operating 24-7 comes naturally to Format NDT. 

What NDT services we offer

Offering a full range of NDT services we are experts in ultrasonic testing and radiographic testing, but our range of non-destructive testing capabilities extends further into dye penetrant testing, ferrite testing , hardness testing, visual inspection/Replication NDT & more. We have completed numerous non-destructive testing tasks for many large multi-nationals (as well as many smaller) and the experience and feedback that our skilled team has acquired over the years benefits our customers daily.

Certification

Naturally our NDT services benefit from the Format NDT Quality system which is fully compliant to ISO 9001 -2015. In addition, our skilled team of technicians are qualified up to level 3 over a range of examination services and compliant with ISO 9712 and SNT-TC [1-A (ASNT). But perhaps more important than the certification, qualification & experience of the Format NDT team is the eagerness to serve, ability to assess and willingness to ensure that customer service is paramount and underpins everything that we do. We recognise that every customer has a choice of non-destructive testing companies, and we want to ensure we are the partner of choice.

We're constantly expanding our range of services...

In later years we have expanded our range of services to fulfil our customers needs. Recently we’ve added hardness surveys, offering Rockwell, Brinell, and Vickers readings.  We’ve also added ferrite testing and Replication to our ever expanding range of NDT inspection services. We don’t prescribe a solution best suited to our customer’s needs other than by a thorough understanding & review of their needs, no choice of engineer, technician or availability of testing machinery dictates our service offer, we simply offer the right solution to each individual customer’s needs.

Being from the North West we are a cheerful friendly team who love dealing with customers, are not averse to cold, damp, dark or demanding site conditions, and there aren’t many non-destructive testing needs that we haven’t fulfilled since our inception tracing back to the 1970’s.

If you want an NDT testing partner that will go the extra mile, and give you complete trust & confidence to get it right first time, every time and deliver on time and to budget we would love to be of service in the future.
