Report
Moving into our new office we really had to get new pat testing etc so we came to Acertest to do a whole building check to make sure that we are all safe and that there was no chance of anything happening and causing fires, we were really happy with how quickly they worked and were happy when they gave us the OK to start working in our new building.
