Very friendly and efficient service. Would recommend. Thanks Kyle!
Kyle arrived on time and was professional and curteouse at all times. Kyle went the extra mile by calling a day earlier to ensure he had the right directions to the property located in a remote location. The testing work was conducted quickly and efficiently and the certificates were issued by email within 24 hours of the work being completed.
Excellent service, fast friendly engineer.

Testing

We use industry leading calibrated PAT Testing equipment to check for earth continuity, insulation resistance and polarity; making sure each item meets the legal standards for electrical safety.

Report

You’ll receive a digital PAT testing Certificate listing all tested appliances, their location, the test results and any repairs carried out – perfect for your Safety records and compliance.
