How it works
Calibration through your branch takes a minute of your team's time. Here's what happens from the moment a customer hands over their tester to the moment they pick it up again.
01
A contractor brings their MFT, PAT tester, thermometer or gauge to your trade counter, usually while they're picking up materials.
02
Note the customer's name and phone number, what the instrument is, and any faults they've mentioned. Put it with your Calibration Point collections.
03
On a van route, we pick up on your scheduled collection day. Off our routes, request a collection in the Partner area and we book a courier for the next business day. Either way, collection is free.
04
At our Southport lab, against reference equipment traceable to national standards, under an ISO 9001 quality management system. If anything needs repairing, it's quoted before any work starts.
05
The instrument comes back to your counter with its certificate, 3–5 working days after collection, ready for your customer to pick up.
Our test centre
Collections in the North West and South East run on our own Calibration Point vans, not a third-party carrier. Every instrument comes back to our test centre at Slaidburn Business Centre in Southport, where it is booked in, calibrated and checked before it goes back out to your branch.
Coverage
Our own vans cover the North West and South East. Every other partner branch gets free next-business-day courier collection.
