Appliance TestingPAT Testing

Each appliance is comprehensively tested to meet the exacting requirements of the IEE code of practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment. We use the latest computerised PAT testing equipment and are able to test all portable appliances in your company including - IT equipment, microwaves as well as 110V equipment. The inspection and testing will be carried out by a fully qualified electrical testing engineer.

Minimal disruption

All electrical equipment to be tested has to be disconnected from the mains supply. We realise the inconvenience that this can cause, especially in a busy office environment, which is why we provide out of hours service at no extra cost.

Sensible pricing - No hidden charges

We believe in a clear pricing structure so that you can accurately determine the price you will pay. All charges are made on a per appliance basis depending on the total number of items to be tested.

Free Repairs

Minor faults found during the course of the inspection will be repaired as we find them and the appliance re-tested. All minor repairs are carried out free of charge, including the following:

  • Replacement of faulty or damaged mains plug (BS1363)
  • Replacement of damaged or incorrectly rated fuses
  • Re-wiring of incorrect connections in the mains plug
  • Repair to faulty cable grips in the mains plug
