PAT Testing
Our PAT Testing ensures electrical appliances meet safety standards through visual inspections and advanced testing. Qualified technicians identify faults in equipment ranging from office devices to industrial tools. Regular testing reduces fire risks and legal liabilities while maintaining compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act.
Fire Alarm Inspection
We conduct comprehensive fire alarm inspections to verify system functionality and compliance with BS 5839-1:2017. Our process includes control panel checks, battery testing, and simulated activation to ensure reliability during emergencies. Regular maintenance prevents failures and upholds insurance requirements.
Emergency Light Testing
Emergency light testing confirms backup lighting systems operate during power outages. We assess compliance with BS 5266-1:2016 through duration tests and component inspections. This service ensures safe evacuation routes and adherence to fire safety regulations for commercial and residential properties.
Site Gear Testing
Site Gear Testing examines construction tools, extension leads, and transformers for electrical faults. Visual and functional assessments identify risks from heavy usage environments. Regular testing prevents accidents and downtime while meeting construction site safety standards.
Fully Managed Service
Our managed service schedules testing cycles to prevent over-testing and compliance gaps. Automated reminders ensure timely inspections while detailed records simplify audits. This solution reduces administrative burdens and maintains continuous regulatory adherence for businesses.
