At Expert Pull Testing, we deliver reliable and fully certified testing services for anchors, fixings, and facade systems across the UK. Our pull-out testing confirms that structural elements can bear their intended loads, ensuring compliance with UK safety standards and manufacturer specifications.

Whether working on high-rise façades, temporary works, or M&E installations, Expert Pull Testing helps prevent failure risks by delivering accurate data, fast reporting, and professional guidance.

What Does Professional Pull Testing Cost?

The cost of professional pull testing ranges from £250 to £750, depending on factors such as the number of anchors tested, site accessibility, and the level of reporting required.

Prices are influenced by the type of testing needed, whether standard anchor verification or full certification under load conditions, as well as additional requirements like extended site work, travel, or urgent turnaround times.

Why Is Pull Testing Crucial for Structural Safety?

Our expert pull testing service plays a critical role in confirming that structural elements are properly secured and capable of performing under expected load conditions.

It is often required by structural engineers, insurers, and principal contractors as a condition of handover or warranty.

Which Fixings, Anchors, or Facade Elements Require Pull Testing?

We carry out pull testing on a wide range of fixings, anchors, and façade elements to ensure compliance, safety, and long-term performance, including:

• Mechanical anchors – Used in structural connections, steelwork, and heavy-duty fixings.
• Chemical anchors – Installed in concrete or masonry for high-load applications and structural attachments.
• Eyebolts and safety anchors – Used for fall protection, rope access, and personal safety systems.
• Façade support brackets – Critical components for cladding and curtain walling systems.
• Balustrade fixings – Ensuring guardrails, handrails, and barriers meet strength and safety standards.
• M&E hangers and supports – Verifying load-bearing capacity for mechanical and electrical installations.
• Temporary works anchors – Tested to confirm stability and compliance during construction or refurbishment phases.

How Is Pull Testing Performed to Ensure Compliance With UK Standards?

Pull tests are conducted using hydraulic equipment and digital gauges to apply controlled loads to installed fixings. We follow BS 8539, BS EN 1992-4, and manufacturer-specific guidelines to determine pass/fail criteria.

Each test is recorded, photographed, and documented. For load testing, the fixing must sustain a specified force for a set time without movement. For proof testing, the goal is to verify the minimum load capacity without full structural stress.

Can Pull Tests Be Conducted on Brick, Concrete, Steel, or Masonry Surfaces?

Pull testing is suitable for a wide range of substrates. We regularly test into cracked and uncracked concrete, solid or hollow brick, blockwork, steel, and stone masonry.

We assess substrate conditions prior to testing to prevent damage and ensure accurate results. Our technicians also advise on appropriate remediation or re-fixing methods where results do not meet structural requirements.

How Quickly Can Pull Testing Be Scheduled and Reported Across Sites?

Pull testing can often be scheduled within 24 to 72 hours, depending on project urgency and access. We offer flexible call-outs, including early mornings or weekend availability for live sites.

Digital reports with test outcomes, load graphs, and recommendations are typically delivered within 24 hours of completion. For urgent compliance needs, same-day reporting can be arranged.

Do Pull Testing Services Include Certification and Load Data Analysis?

All services provided by Expert Pull Testing include full load data analysis, test records, and certification. Each report outlines the fixing type, substrate, applied load, test duration, and outcome.

We also offer summary logs for larger sites and can support retrospective documentation for warranty or insurance purposes. Our reports are accepted by structural engineers, safety consultants, and building control officers.

Is Expert Pull Testing a Cost-Effective Risk Mitigation Step for Projects?

Our expert contractors for pull testing provide a cost-effective way to prevent fixing failures, project delays, and compliance issues. By verifying installations before they fail, our service reduces liability, rework, and health and safety risks.

It also ensures structural components meet both performance and legal requirements, supporting long-term asset integrity. Our efficient testing process minimises downtime while maximising peace of mind for all project stakeholders.
