What
we do
If you have not previously had any PAT testing
carried out, we will help you approximate the number of items
you have and over how many locations to provide you with an
estimate. If you have had testing carried out previously,
you may well have an asset list specifying the number of items
and where they are. This allows us to give you a more accurate
cost.
We ask that you have had your fixed electrical
installation (the wiring, sockets etc within a building) checked
by an electrician within the recommended period, this is usually
between 1 and 5 years, depending upon the type of premises.
You need to do this because the safety of many portable appliances
you connect to it rely on a good earth connection. It is likely
that the owner of the building will have this carried out.
Once you have decided to use us, we will
schedule the testing at your convenience. Every item we test
is issued an asset number and a green label if it passes or
a red 'do not use' label if it fails. During the testing we
like to keep in touch to make sure any dangerous or faulty
items found are removed, repaired or replaced without any
disruption to the business.
On completion, we will go over the engineers
report with you to help sort any safety issues and then give
you a complete asset list, test report and certificates.
The fewer assets you have, the sooner we
can schedule your testing in. In some cases it can be done
on the day you call us.
We are happy to work in the most cost effective
way for you, so please get in touch to discuss your requirements
- advice is free.
If you have a website, we will supply you
with a graphic to show visitors you have been PAT tested.

Does everything need testing?
Yes, you will need to make sure any portable appliances
that will be used are available to be tested, this includes
staff laptops and any equipment they may have elsewhere.
What appliances need testing? There
are many types of appliance and they all need testing, from
an extension lead to a built in cooker.
Why all this PAT palaver?
The Electricity At Work Regulations 1989, The Health &
Safety At Work Act 1974, and The Provision and Use of Work
Equipment Regulations 1998 put requirements on employers,
employees and the self-employed to insure the safety of
appliances used in the workplace.
Are you electricians? Can you rewire
some sockets for us?
No, we only specialise in portable appliance testing and
as a result we are competitively priced and you don't have
to wait weeks for us to do the work.
