Our engineers and qualified PAT testers will work with you systematically throughout your work environment, performing a proper visual inspection of all leads and appliances. They will then test each portable appliance and all leads to establish if they are electrically safe to use. We follow your specific guidelines and if computers, servers, POS hardware need to be running continuously, we will conduct a thorough visual inspection in order to avoid any unnecessary power outages of vital equipment. If your appliances pass, our PAT testers will place a sticker to confirm the pass date. If failed, we will advise you on what needs to be fixed (if possible) or that the appliance needs to be removed. Our PAT tester can carry out minor repairs free of charge. However, larger repairs may need extra attention. Booking a PAT test There is some useful information that would be helpful to know in advance:

• Approximately how many appliances require testing?
• When were they last tested?
• Are there any items of equipment that cannot be unplugged? For example, POS equipment in shops, computer servers or specialist medical equipment?

About Oxford Oxford is known as ‘the city of dreaming spires’, most famous for The University of Oxford – said to be the oldest university in the English-speaking world. The university, which often tops the world ratings, was first mentioned in 12th century records. The grand university buildings dominate the city centre. Economically, the University of Oxford is estimated to contribute almost £6 billion to the UK economy and support 50,000 full-time jobs. It currently has 24,000 students. Oxford, which has around 160,000 residents, is much more than a university city. As well as education and research, it has a mixed economy that incudes manufacturing, publishing, science-based industries and tourism. Located between London and Birmingham, it grew as a major area for car manufacture – Morris Motors Ltd was established in the city in the 1920s and British Leyland had a base in Oxford. BMW now produces the Mini here. Oxford is a major tourist destination, attracting around 7 million visitors from the UK and abroad every year to see the beautiful buildings and visit the world class centres of culture, including the city’s museums, galleries and theatres. The Sheldonian Theatre was built by Sir Christopher Wren.
