What are PSSR Boiler Inspections?
A Legal Requirement for Pressurised Steam Boilers
Under the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (PSSR), regular annual testing of steam pressure vessels is mandatory. Our trained and fully certified coffee machine engineers will perform this test to examine your espresso boiler pressure, safety valves, and the boiler itself. Ensure your business complies with the law while safeguarding your coffee equipment.
Helps Prevent Unexpected Breakdowns
Routine boiler inspections are not only required for safety regulations, they also prevent unexpected and costly breakdowns in the future. Think of a boiler inspection in the same way as an MOT for your car, identifying issues early on through regular testing ensures your machine runs efficiently.
What’s Included in a PSSR Inspection?
Whether conducted on-site or in our coffee machine repairs workshop, our certified engineers will dismantle your espresso machine to access the boiler, pressure safety valves and pipework. A competent boiler inspector will then thoroughly examine the boiler using a borescope (pinhole camera), replace any necessary parts, pressurise the system, and certify that everything functions like-new.
How Much Does a PSSR Inspection and Test Cost?
An annual coffee steam boiler PSSR test costs £445, and is not included within your machine service package.
Included in that price is the inspection itself, the engineer’s travel and time on-site, official certification and record-keeping, third party auditing and any new machine parts.
In some cases, our customers’ insurance provider will request that they conduct the inspection themselves. In this instance we can offer our assisted PSSR service for £250, aiding in the breakdown and testing of the machine.

Certified PSSR Inspectors
All of our Engineers here at Bridge are certified through a third party to conduct annual PSSR tests. These annual pressure tests are a legal requirement for the insurance and safe operation of a pressured boiler machine. The onus falls on the owner of the machine to ensure their boiler is inspected by a certified PSSR inspector. Rather than requiring an inspection to by certified by a third party, our qualified team of engineers are able to self-certify the result of the PSSR test.
