PSSR inspections in Glasgow
Glasgow's water is soft, which is one of the few things that makes life easier for a coffee machine. The examination findings here lean less on scale and more on age and protective devices: level probes, anti-vac valves and safety valves on machines that have been in service for a decade with no recorded history. Examinations from £265 + VAT.
Quick answer
Do coffee machines in Glasgow need a PSSR examination?
Yes, wherever the machine operates in a workplace. Steam is a relevant fluid under PSSR 2000, and steam systems are in scope at any pressure and any volume — so a commercial machine with a steam boiler needs a Written Scheme of Examination and periodic examination by a competent person, whatever its group count or how hard it is worked.

The local estate
What the Glasgow sites look like
The premises mix decides what the examination involves, what tends to fail, and how the visit has to be scheduled.
Merchant City and city-centre independents
High-volume specialty sites in converted warehouses, often with older machines that have never had a Written Scheme.
West End and Finnieston
Dense independent strip with steady duty and a strong culture of keeping service records.
South side and Shawlands
Suburban cafés running single machines on steady duty, frequently on their first examination.

The machines we are called to in Glasgow
The price of the examination follows the machine's boiler configuration, so it is worth checking which of these you have before you call. Every one has its own page covering the examination scope for that model and the rate it carries.
