PAT Testing
Portable Appliance Testing ensures electrical equipment compliance with UK safety regulations. Our engineers use Seaward 250 equipment to test cables, plugs, and appliances. Each item receives a unique ID label, with detailed reports and retest reminders provided. This service helps businesses maintain legal compliance and workplace safety.
Fixed Wire Testing
Fixed Wire Testing assesses building electrical systems for safety and compliance. We conduct periodic inspections to BS5839 standards, identifying faults in circuits and wiring. Reports highlight necessary repairs, ensuring systems meet regulatory requirements and reducing fire risks from electrical failures.
Fire Alarm Testing
Our fire alarm testing verifies system functionality according to BS5839 standards. Engineers test smoke detectors, sounders, and control panels to ensure reliable operation. Certification confirms compliance with fire safety regulations, maintaining insurance validity and occupant protection.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal Imaging detects electrical system hotspots using infrared technology. This non-invasive method identifies loose connections and load imbalances before failures occur. Ideal for large facilities, it prevents downtime and ensures safe, efficient electrical operations across industrial and commercial sites.
Fire Extinguisher Inspection
Regular fire extinguisher inspections ensure equipment readiness in emergencies. Our BAFE-qualified engineers service all extinguisher types, verifying pressure levels and mechanical integrity. Maintenance records confirm compliance with BS 5306 standards, protecting property and occupant safety.
