Keeping electrical installations and appliances in optimal condition is paramount for ensuring property safety. Research shows that more than 90% of fire hazards originate from electrical failures, considering which several regulations are in place for ensuring electrical safety.

PAT testing is designed to assess the quality and condition of electrical appliances. The aim is to maintain a safe environment wherever electrical appliances are used, primarily in commercial settings. Apart from safety measures, it ensures compliance with regulations and protection from any legal troubles.

Our accredited and experienced electricians are authorised to conduct local PAT testing for commercial and residential properties, covering several regions of the UK. Contact us if you seek portable appliance safety testing in Chelmsford.

PAT Testing for a Variety of Properties

We cater to various commercial and residential properties such as hotels, restaurants, educational institutions, health facilities, rented properties, and more. When you book our PAT testing services, our specialists will visit your site and conduct a series of tests. The process starts with a detailed visual inspection where our electricians will try to find any visible signs of damage or wear & tear.

Electrical tests such as earth continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, and functional tests are conducted to inspect and check every aspect of the appliances. After the test completion, our electricians will provide a PAT certificate for every appliance tested. The certificate will indicate the test results as “pass” or “fail.”
