More about PAT Testing

PAT – or Portable Appliance Testing – is a combined visual and electrical check carried out by our experienced technicians, to make sure electrical appliances are safe to use.

We carry out a visual check, looking for everything from cracks or flaws in casing or insulation, to loose screws inside the plug.

We then use market-leading equipment to carry out an internal check on the electrical appliance.Only when we are satisfied the appliance is safe, will we apply a ‘passed safety check’ sticker.

Once we have inspected, tested and certified it, you will have the confidence you have done everything to make sure the appliance is safe.
