Frequently asked questions

PAT testing stands for Portable Appliance Testing. It's used as a method to determine whether or not fixed appliances, consumer electronics & other electrical items in the home & workplace are safe to use.

PAT testing involves a professional completing visual inspections & other tests to check the safety of appliances. They'll then either pass or fail the appliance and provide a certificate.

PAT testing is often used by landlords & employers to ensure that they're carrying out their electrical safety obligations.

You pay a minimum one hour callout charge for PAT testing.

Great service! The electrician identified the problem, advised me on the right type of extractor fan, then went to the shop to buy a new one. He installed it, explained the process, and made some additional adjustments I requested. Overall, I’m happy with the service.

Alan is an excellent electrician, dedicated and hard working. He and his fellow electrician did a fine job of rewiring my garden area. I am very happy with their work. Alan also tidied up afterwards and took away all the rubbish. I would highly recommend him.

The best electrician here! We had other ones asking for new parts and leaving the lights very tilted. He worked with the same parts and assembled the lights in perfect position, like it was easy for him.
