Portable Appliance Testing is essentially an examination of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure they are safe to use. Both our clients and our team can identify a number of electrical safety issues by visual examinations, a few more will only be discovered through our calibrated test instruments.
Businesses, employers, institutions and landlords all have a statutory responsibility to ensure that any portable appliances on their premise are safe for use. If PAT Testing doesn’t occur and someone is injured the company can be heavily penalised for it, whether this is by the Insurance Company, or from the Health & Safety Executive. By having routine PAT testing plays an essential part in documenting your duty of care as an employer, and would be highly recommended to avoid any complications or problems arising.

You just saved us the biggest headache ever; after months of electrical problems ( now resolved), we had a ‘no power situation’. After checking circuit boards, switches etc we were at a complete loss. Read your piece above (after Googling ‘circuit board switches up, but no power‘) about RCD switch and resetting (didn’t know what an RCD was), and after 8 hours sleep dreaming of circuit boards and 2 minutes of contemplation, and re-reading your advice,I totally nailed it. Brilliant tutorial, many thanks. Susanne (I am neither young nor savvy with anything technical)
Thank you very much, and please pass on my thanks to Philip who completed the job. I appreciate it was an awkward space for him to work on, but everything was done so well and so quickly - I am very happy with the outcome! Will be returning to you for more jobs soon I’m sure!
‘Excellent service, quick and very efficient. Tidy work. No problem recommending Karen and her team. Will definitely use these guys again!’
Very pleased with the excellent job from the Bright Spark team. Really informative and helpful advice from Karen and Richard the electrician was friendly, professional and a pleasure to deal with. Will use again. Thank you very much for a job well done.Update: just used Bright Spark again (Aug 25) and Joe did an excellent job and Karen's communication was excellent. Thank you very much.
Terry was very helpful, and everything has been fixed.
