PAT Testing in County Durham

Durham presents a unique blend of architecture, from historic properties in the city center to modern student lets and sprawling university facilities. With such diverse properties, maintaining portable appliance safety requires experienced, DBS-checked professionals who understand the specific needs of Durham landlords and local businesses.

We offer thorough in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment (PAT) to ensure you meet all legal and insurance requirements. From routine office checks to HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) landlord certificates, our service keeps your property compliant.
