PAT Testing
Portable Appliance Testing ensures compliance with Electricity at Work Regulations through systematic checks of all plug-connected equipment. Our City & Guilds 2377-certified engineers conduct visual inspections and electronic testing using calibrated PAT devices. We provide immediate reporting via secure online platforms, with minor repairs included in standard pricing.
Fixed Installation Testing
Periodic inspection of hard-wired electrical systems in commercial and industrial premises. Testing covers lighting circuits, socket outlets, and fixed plant equipment to BS7671 standards. Our engineers deliver comprehensive reports identifying code 1 (urgent) and code 2 (improvement needed) defects requiring remedial action.
Fire Alarm Testing
Comprehensive assessment of fire detection and alarm systems including smoke detectors, manual call points, and sounders. Certified engineers verify system functionality against Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requirements. Services include certification updates and component replacement to maintain insurance validity.
Thermal Imaging
Infrared diagnostics identify overheating components and electrical faults before failure occurs. Our thermal imaging service detects loose connections and load imbalances, providing detailed reports with thermal/visual image comparisons for predictive maintenance planning.
Emergency Light Testing
BS5266-compliant testing of emergency lighting systems including battery discharge checks and lumen output measurements. We verify coverage adequacy, signage visibility, and system compatibility while providing staff training for interim testing procedures.
