Portable Appliance Testing
Covering buckinghamshire & surrounding areas.
We are a long established PAT company who have been testing and reporting on electrical equipment since 1991. We pride ourselves on our professional expertise and always ensure that our test equipment and procedures comply with the latest industry guidelines.
WHO WE ARE
We are a family company that became limited over 26 years ago. We were initially concerned with equipment repair and service for educational laboratories and technology workshops, we were testing & certifying our repairs before regulations were published generally. From 1990 we developed our health and safety services, offering a more advanced and meaningful programme of portable appliance testing to keep in line with technological advances within the industry. We continually upgrade our equipment, ensuring we always have the best at our disposal and our engineers are trained to ensure they have the most current knowledge to match, because of this we are confident that we can provide the most professional service available at a very competitive price. Our roots lie in instrument engineering, this is important when analysing test values & confirming safety rather than just applying test procedure by rote. Because of this we still repair, build & modify equipment as required.

Many repairs are undertaken by our engineers during routine PAT testing, however more complicated repairs, for instance when spare parts are required, usually require repair off site.
