As NICEIC approved contractors, & City & Guild qualified, we check installations against the current BS7671 British Standard for wiring regulations.

PAT Testing

PAT, or Portable Appliance Testing, is a routine inspection conducted on electrical appliances and equipment.
This test ensures that electrical appliances are safe to use, thus minimizing if not entirely preventing accidents and injuries.

PAT involves carrying out visual inspections on appliances and equipment to identify visible signs of damage.  Electrical testing uses the calibrated testing equipment to confirm earth resistance, earth continuity, and insulation resistance tests, as well as polarity and safety-switch checks. Identifying potential electrical faults with appliances and equipment.

Portable Appliance Testing is one of the most efficient and trusted methods of checking the safety of electrical appliances and equipment.
