PAT Testing

Our fully trained technician will perform the testing on site and provide a list of all equipment tested. Prices start from £2.50 per item (discounted for members). All electrical devices that have a plug need to be tested, including non-IT equipment such as kettles, fridges, etc. Our recommendation is for each item to be tested every year.

CITA aims to carry testing out in batches - look out for PAT testing weeks advertised here and via e-mail.

Make sure that your equipment is safe.

Call us or use our contact page for more infomation.

Why PAT Test?

 

Please ensure that all electrical equipment is readily accessible. Our engineer will not be able to move bulky furniture to test equipment.

We may also need to charge for travel depending on the distance from the CITA base.
