Services
Portable Appliance Testing
Our comprehensive PAT testing ensures electrical safety compliance for all portable equipment. We test IT devices, power tools, white goods, and extension leads using industry-standard procedures. Each appliance receives visual inspection, earth continuity testing, and insulation resistance measurement with detailed pass/fail documentation.
Fuse Check & Replacement
We verify correct fuse ratings for electrical appliances during testing. Faulty fuses are replaced with appropriate specifications while checking connected cables for damage or wear. This critical safety check prevents electrical hazards from incorrect fuse installations.
IT Equipment Testing
Specialist testing for mains-powered IT equipment using reduced test currents to protect sensitive circuitry. We perform continuity tests at 100-200mA and insulation tests at 100-250V to avoid damaging internal components while maintaining safety compliance.
Power Tools Testing
Visual and electrical safety testing for both mains and battery-powered tools. We check insulation integrity, earth continuity where applicable, and mechanical safety features. Battery chargers receive full PAT testing as mains-connected equipment.
Emergency Safety Testing
24/7 emergency testing services for critical electrical safety issues. Our rapid response team provides immediate appliance evaluation, fault diagnosis, and safety certification to resolve urgent compliance concerns outside regular hours.
