Are your electrical Items safe?
You will need a Pat Test
IF :
Electrical safety is essential, and one of the best ways to ensure your appliances are safe to use is by scheduling a PAT (Portable Appliance Test). Regular testing can prevent accidents and keep you and your family safe. Here’s when you should consider a PAT test:
- The main benefits of having your appliance repaired by our team include a warranty on the repairs made during our service period (around 3 years) – No need to take it back into the store or call customer support when you have any issues with your product after repairing it ourselves. We’ll fix it if anything goes wrong at a fixed price for three years.
- Rest assured, we’ll do our best to beat any like-for-like quote. Get peace of mind with this guarantee.
- Free repair and retesting of minor faults found during an inspection. No hidden charges, no extra fees!

Damaged Flex Cables
If your appliance has a frayed or damaged cable, it poses a serious risk. Exposed wires or broken insulation can cause electric shocks or even fires. A PAT test will check the condition of the cable and plug to ensure they are safe for use.
Incorrectly Fused Plugs Incorrectly Fused Plugs
Using plugs with the wrong fuse can lead to overheating, which can be dangerous. A PAT test ensures that your plugs are properly fused to handle the appliance’s power needs, reducing the risk of electrical accidents.
House Safety
Peace of mind for homeowners who live in houses built before 2004—or even after 2005 (if they have decided not to invest in upgrades yet). If your home was built before 2004, chances are high that there may be old wiring inside walls still holding onto energy sources such as lighting fixtures; this could cause fires if someone is touched incorrectly by someone unaware of what type of voltage was being used at any given moment!

Emergency Light Testing Why Regular Emergency Light Testing is Essential for Safety
When it comes to emergency light testing, two critical checks are required to ensure your emergency lighting system will function correctly during a power outage.
Annual Full Test: This comprehensive test is carried out once a year and typically takes about 3 hours. It simulates a real power outage and tests the emergency lights’ run time to ensure they will stay on for the necessary duration during an actual emergency. This test helps determine whether the emergency lights are capable of providing sufficient illumination when you need them the most.
Monthly Quick Test: In addition to the yearly test, a quick monthly check is essential. This test verifies that the emergency lights turn on immediately when there’s a power failure. During this test, it’s crucial to check for the indicator light—usually a red LED—that signals any issues with the battery, such as a faulty or dead battery.
By regularly performing these tests, you ensure that your emergency lighting system is fully operational, protecting everyone inside your building during an emergency situation.By working with us, you can:
