UK PAT are specialists in all aspects of PAT Testing and other compliance services in Reigate, Chipstead, or Gatton. We have been carrying out appliance testing for over two decades and are known for our professional, helpful, and expert service.
What is PAT Testing? Portable appliance testing will ensure your appliances are safe to use and are an essential part of any company’s or landlord’s health and safety policy. Appliance safety testing is not a standalone legal requirement but falls under various laws relating to Health and Safety and duty of care.
PAT Testing is relevant to these laws:
- The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
- The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
- The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998
Our company also offers other compliance services including EPCs and Legionella Risk Assessments. We work for private homeowners, landlords, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and retail premises, local councils, and many others.
Our agency PAT testers use the latest diagnostic testing equipment that is fully calibrated and we are proud of our reputation for providing a friendly and helpful service.
Appliance testing appointments are available around the clock and we also offer a test while you wait service, so you can drop off your appliances and pick them up at a suitable time. We will always provide the best service that we possibly can – see our reviews on Checkatrade.com.
