Compliant PAT Testing Certificate Reports
PAT Testing in Newcastle & the North East
It’s our job to keep you safe from faulty electrical equipment at work; electrical equipment used for work or business purposes must be maintained to prevent danger, and requires periodic inspections to ensure it is always safe to continue using. Making sure that is the case, is our job. We are PAT Testers. PAT testers check electrical equipment is safe through a series of electrical tests and visual inspections.
If an appliance needs repair to maintain safety standards, such as a rewire or replacement plug we do that free of charge to make it safe to continue using. If something is so bad we can’t fix it, we mark it as failed, report it to you and remove it from use, thus preventing danger. This is preventative maintenance and helps you to comply with UK Health and Safety Regulations.
To confirm the inspections we have done, we provide you with an itemised PAT Testing Certificate Report that lists every item tested, the test results and location of the appliance in the premises. The ID numbers on the report match the numbers on the labels we attach to the appliance, neatly and discreetly, and we remove the old labels first.
We have tested over 2million appliances for over 1500 clients in over 16 years of trading. Our team are all experienced, qualified engineers with enhanced DBS.

You’ll know your equipment is safe, your records are in order, and everything has been done to the standard expected.

In that time, we’ve worked with organisations of all sizes, from small local businesses to larger offices and manufacturers with ongoing requirements. Every job is approached with the same level of care and attention.
We’re members of CHAS and PATTA, and we stay up to date with current guidance so we can give clear, accurate advice on electrical safety, compliance and retest periods.
If you ever need help managing your electrical safety, equipment requirements, etc, we’re always happy to talk it through.
