P.A.T
What is it?
Portable
Appliance Testing is an inspection of electrical items to
ensure that they are fit for use. This is undertaken by an
engineer trained to spot electrical flaws or damaged cables,
for instance.
Why
do I need it?
Day-to-day
use of portable electrical appliances inevitably causes wear
and damage to leads, plugs and to the item itself. If
undetected and unresolved, this may in turn result in an
electric shock or fire.
Employers,
institutions and landlords therefore have a statutory
responsibility to ensure that all electrical appliances used
by employees, guests and tenants are safe.
What
is the legal requirement?
All
systems shall be maintained so far as is reasonably
practically possible to prevent danger. Regulation 4 (2)
Electricity at Work Act
Who
does it apply to?
All
commercial environments and where the public reside or visit

Our

Our
pricing structure is outlined below. This is a rough guide
only, and we reserve the right to add a mileage charge for low
volume or non-local work. Our minimum charge for onsite
testing is just £50.00. Use our contact
us page for
a quote. If you already have a quote, let us know and we'll do
our best to beat it.
When
comparing our prices, please remember that our prices are all-inclusive,
and we do not charge for rewiring plugs or changing fuses, and
for most jobs we do not charge mileage, unlike a lot of other
PAT testing companies. We are often able to offer a discount
for local companies, just ask for more information.
