PAT Testing
Our Portable Appliance Testing service ensures electrical equipment safety through comprehensive inspections. Engineers check for damaged cables, faulty wiring, and correct fuse ratings while testing earth continuity and insulation resistance. Each appliance receives a unique safety label with full documentation provided.
Test Certificates
We issue official PAT test certificates confirming compliance with The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. Documents include appliance registers detailing test results, safety classifications, and re-test schedules. All certificates are provided in PDF format with printed copies available upon request.
Minor Repairs
Our service includes free minor repairs such as plug replacements and fuse installations. Engineers carry standard components to resolve common issues during testing visits. This ensures minimal disruption and reduces the need for follow-up appointments.
Out-of-Hours Service
Flexible testing schedules accommodate business needs with no additional charges for evening or weekend appointments. Engineers prioritise urgent requests while maintaining the same high standards of documentation and safety compliance during all visits.
Re-Test Reminders
We maintain digital records of all client equipment with automated re-test reminders. Clients receive notifications ahead of their scheduled testing dates to ensure continuous compliance. This service eliminates the risk of expired certifications.

Report
Friendly and efficient service. Richard was on time , did not disrupt our work whilst he checked all equipment. Would definitely recommend this Company. And the cost was very reasonable.

Report
Richard from Gloucestershire PAT Testing was able to help my company at short notice and was able to check a number of items (over 50). I thought it was a very good service as while it identified most of the items were fine it also failed a few items which had the following faults. 1. The earth was bad in a couple of multisocket extension cables. 2. Inverted positive negative in some cables. Richard also reviewed and changed where necessary some fuses to ensure they were correct amps for the equipment. All in all this was a very useful piece of work as it ensured that we were only using safe cables
