Readings that drift or differ from expected values
Slow response time
Visible damage to the probe or cable
Inconsistent results compared with a reference instrument
Failure of routine validation checks
Most probes should be calibrated at least once per year, but the ideal frequency depends on usage, required accuracy, and operating conditions. Probes used in critical applications (e.g., food safety, pharmaceuticals, laboratory work) may need calibration every 3–6 months or before critical measurements.
"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Why is temperature probe calibration important?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Calibration ensures that a temperature probe provides accurate and reliable readings. Over time, sensors can drift due to usage, environmental exposure, or aging. Regular calibration maintains accuracy for quality control, safety, and compliance with industry standards.

From warehouse temperature mapping to continuous monitoring systems. We calibrate temperature probes to traceable standards, ensuring reliable data for food manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and cold storage environments.

Trusted by UK manufacturers in food, building management systems, refrigeration & process engineering


















Every probe we calibrate is verified against UKAS-traceable reference standards, ensuring accurate measurement data and audit-ready documentation
UKAS-Traceable Calibration
All calibration performed against reference standards traceable to national measurement institutes, ensuring accuracy and providing audit-proof documentation for regulatory compliance.
Full Compliance Coverage
Calibration at multiple temperature points across your operational range, ensuring accuracy throughout cold storage, ambient, and heated zones.
Regulatory & Product Protection
Regular calibration prevents product spoilage, failed audits, costly recalls, and regulatory penalties caused by inaccurate temperature monitoring data.

Whether you need annual calibration for a single warehouse or comprehensive temperature monitoring validation across multiple sites, our team has the precision equipment and regulatory knowledge to deliver exactly what your operation requires.
Discuss Your RequirementsFor over four decades, JBB has been protecting temperature-critical operations through precision calibration services for warehousing, food manufacturing, and pharmaceutical facilities. From handheld probe verification to fixed monitoring system calibration, we bring systematic accuracy and compliance documentation to every measurement point.
Understanding Your Requirements - We review your monitoring systems, operational temperature ranges, regulatory requirements, and calibration frequency needs to create optimal calibration schedules.
Standards-Based Verification - Using UKAS-traceable reference equipment, we verify probe accuracy at defined temperature points.
Operational Validation - Complete warehouse temperature mapping using calibrated data loggers to identify hot and cold spots, validate HVAC performance, and optimize permanent probe placement.
Audit-Ready Records - You receive formal calibration certificates detailing procedures, equipment used, measurement results, and traceability chain for regulatory compliance and quality management systems.
Uncalibrated or poorly maintained temperature probes create operational headaches that impact your business

Temperature probes naturally drift over time due to wear, environmental factors, and electrical stress, causing inaccurate readings that compromise product safety.
Failure to maintain documented calibration records leads to failed audits, regulatory penalties, and potential operational shutdowns during inspections.
Inaccurate temperature monitoring results in undetected storage condition deviations, causing product spoilage, degradation, and costly batch losses.
Lack of UKAS or NIST-traceable calibration documentation fails to meet ISO 9001, HACCP, GDP, and GMP requirements for measurement accuracy.
Poorly calibrated systems generate unreliable alerts, wasting time investigating non-existent problems while potentially missing genuine temperature excursions.
From initial assessment to ongoing calibration management, we handle every aspect of your temperature monitoring accuracy
We calibrate fixed and portable temperature probes at your facility using traceable reference standards, minimizing disruption to your monitoring systems.
Each probe is verified at multiple temperature points across your operational range, ensuring accuracy for cold storage, ambient, and process applications.
Complete facility mapping using calibrated data loggers identifies environmental variations, validates HVAC performance, and determines optimal permanent probe locations.
You receive detailed calibration certificates showing equipment used, measurement results, uncertainty calculations, and full traceability chain for audit compliance.
With over 40 years serving temperature-critical industries, we deliver calibration services that meet the highest standards of accuracy, compliance, and traceability.

"I have worked with the team at JBB Electrical on a wide range of projects and reactive works for over 15 years. They consistently complete jobs to an excellent standard and are always a pleasure to deal with. Their technical knowledge is a huge benefit to both myself and my customers, and nothing is ever too much trouble for the team. They regularly go above and beyond, and I would not hesitate to recommend JBB Electrical"
Ian Ross
Service Manager, EJM
"The team at JBB Electrical have been integral to the implementation of the proof-of-concept large scale energy‑sharing district heating & cooling network at SmartParc’s food production campus in Derby. JBB’s wealth of knowledge and experience in industrial controls and automation helped integrate the multiple systems and platforms required for seamless control and monitoring of the energy centre plant and park network. JBB have also secured and successfully delivered the electrical subcontract works associated with the industrial cooling installations for all tenants on the park thus far. All under competitive tender and ambitious installation programmes. All projects have been completed on time, within budget and to the highest quality standards. I can highly recommend JBB as partner of choice for complex industrial electrical and automation projects."
