The next service on our list is PAT testing.

PAT Testing with Total Safe is not always a service that people automatically think of when it comes to Fire Safety Services. However, it is a crucial service for preventing fire. Did you know that home electrical fires account for around 51,000 fires each year! That’s huge! So testing your electrical equipment is super important.

PAT (Portable Appliance Test) testing is the process of carrying out a routine safety inspection of some types of electrical appliance to check they’re safe for use; with the purpose of preventing electrical accidents.

According to HSE, around 25% of electrical accidents are caused by potable appliances. They have the power to close any businesses that do not comply with regulations and prosecute those with equipment on their premises that is not in an efficient working state.

What areas do we cover for PAT Testing?

Total Safe offer PAT Testing across the whole of the South-East. If you are from further afield, don’t panic! Give us a call and we will always see if we can go that extra mile to help.

What happens during PAT testing?

To ensure your business is always fully complaint with UK regulations, Total Safe advice implementing PAT tests annually. Your engineer will firstly perform a visual inspection of all your appliances. They will then carry out a more thorough check using specialist PAT testing equipment. Upon test completion, all appliances will display a PASS sticker detailing the date the test was performed and the date the following test is due.

What happens next?

We keep records of every test date and subsequent due date for each of our clients, ensuring we re-test before certification elapses, so you are always covered. You will never have to worry about your appliances with Total Safe; we make sure they are always tested, compliant, and most importantly, safe.

What do our customers say about us?

After realising that our pat testing was out of date, I contacted total safe for a quote. When I explained my issue they bent over backwards to fit me in as early as possible. When the engineer arrived he was friendly and polite and advised me on any work that was required and what options I had before he started any work. I would definitely recommend to anyone and will be using them again in the future. Sophie
