Portable Appliance Testing
Our comprehensive Portable Appliance Testing service ensures compliance with electrical safety regulations through systematic inspection and testing of all mains-powered equipment. We conduct visual examinations followed by electrical tests including insulation resistance, earth continuity and leakage testing. Each appliance receives a pass/fail label with detailed results compiled in digital reports emailed to clients.
Electrical Safety Compliance
We help businesses meet their legal obligations under The Electricity at Work Regulations through thorough electrical equipment testing. Our service includes risk assessments, documentation of test results and certification to demonstrate compliance. We advise on maintenance schedules and legal requirements specific to different business sectors.
Insurance Compliance Testing
Our testing services ensure businesses maintain valid insurance coverage by meeting policy requirements for electrical equipment maintenance. We provide documented evidence of regular testing to prevent insurance companies from refusing claims in case of electrical incidents or fires caused by faulty appliances.
On-site Electrical Inspections
We conduct detailed on-site assessments to determine testing requirements and pricing. Our engineers perform risk assessments and site surveys to develop tailored testing programmes that consider premises layout, equipment types and operational constraints while maintaining full regulatory compliance.

Following testing, we provide comprehensive digital reports in PDF format with printed options available. Each appliance receives clear pass/fail labelling, and we maintain records for future reference.
