PAT Testing
Portable Appliance Testing ensures electrical equipment safety through visual inspections and technical tests. Our engineers check earth continuity, insulation resistance, and functional performance. We provide colour-coded labels and detailed reports to demonstrate compliance with The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, helping businesses maintain safe working environments.
Microwave Leakage Testing
This service measures microwave radiation emissions to ensure they remain within safe limits. We test door seals, power output, and safety interlocks according to BS EN 60335-2-25 standards. Certification confirms compliance with workplace safety regulations and identifies any potential hazards from faulty equipment.
Periodical Testing
Regular inspection of fixed electrical installations identifies deterioration or faults. Our qualified electricians produce Electrical Condition Reports (EICRs) highlighting any issues with wiring, sockets, or switchgear. This proactive approach maintains compliance with BS 7671 standards and prevents potential electrical hazards in commercial premises.
Repairs
We offer immediate repairs for failed appliances where possible, minimising downtime for businesses. Faulty items receive clear failure labels with explanations of required repairs. Our engineers follow safety protocols to restore equipment functionality while maintaining compliance with electrical safety regulations.
Certification
After testing, we provide comprehensive documentation including itemised appliance lists and pass/fail certificates. Each tested appliance receives a colour-coded label showing test dates. Our detailed reports help businesses maintain audit-ready compliance records for health and safety inspections.
