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.
