Questions
What is Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)?
PAT testing checks electrical appliances for safety compliance using visual inspection and technical testing. It helps businesses meet legal obligations under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
How often should appliances be tested?
Testing frequency depends on equipment type and environment. Construction sites require more frequent checks (monthly), while office equipment typically needs testing every 24-60 months as determined by risk assessment.
Do you test 3-phase equipment?
Yes, we test all 3-phase equipment including industrial machinery and servers, with adapters for 16amp/32amp 415v sockets and 110v construction site equipment.
What areas do you cover?
We operate across the North West including St Helens, Wigan, Liverpool, Ormskirk, and Southport. Contact us for specific locations outside these areas.
Are your engineers qualified?
