Services

PAT Testing

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) involves visual inspections and electronic tests to ensure electrical safety. We check plugs, cables, and appliances for compliance with UK regulations. Our calibrated equipment and detailed reporting meet legal requirements for businesses and landlords.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal Imaging identifies overheating components in electrical systems, preventing fire risks. We use advanced cameras to detect issues in server rooms and hard-to-reach areas. This non-invasive method ensures minimal disruption to your operations.

EICR

Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) assess the safety of fixed wiring. We inspect for wear, damage, or defects that could compromise safety. Reports highlight urgent improvements and compliance with BS 7671 standards.

Microwave Testing

Microwave Testing ensures safe operation by checking door seals, interlocks, and radiation leakage. We verify compliance with safety standards for commercial and domestic ovens, reducing health risks for users.

Landlord Compliance

Landlord Compliance services verify electrical safety for rental properties. We test all supplied appliances to meet The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994, providing documentation for tenant safety and legal protection.

Due to my employers ISO requirements all my electrical equipment required PAT testing so i looked for a local service to carry out the work within the Durham Area due to being a UK field service engineer.
Fantastic service from Durham PAT Testing, all equipment tested / certified and returned in less than one day. All certification of the tested equipment emailed back within 4hrs and i collected the equipment the next day. I Highly recommend this service to everyone and i will continue to utilise their services in the future. Many Thanks.
