The value of PAT testing

25th April 2019

At MS Electrical we are constantly reminded of the value of PAT testing when we’re providing the service to our clients. This week, we’ve uncovered two potentially hazardous situations which have now been rectified, thankfully without injury or loss of life.

Firstly, a landlord client was shocked to learn of an appliance that was lacking a cover over its live terminals and had a blown fuse covered with a length of aluminium foil to keep it conducting electricity rather than replacing the fuse itself. Thankfully we discovered this before the property was rented out.

Elsewhere, we were alarmed to review an appliance that was brought into a client’s premises for a conference and promptly exploded. It had not been PAT tested…

We specialise in keeping electrical safety in check by offering PAT testing in Cambridge, so why not contact us to arrange a no-obligation quotation?

Testimonials

MS Electrical Services have recently carried out a number of Fixed Wiring Tests on a range of residential properties managed by ourselves for private landlord clients. The process for arranging these works has proved to be very easy with appointments being confirmed promptly upon request. Attendance at the properties has been reliable and consistent, with agreed times ensuring certainty for tenants and landlords over property access. Feedback from tenants has been that staff attending have been courteous and efficient during visits, and inconvenience and disruption kept to a minimum. Inspection reports are delivered promptly after the visits and follow up works clearly identified and costed with quotations included. Landlord clients advise that they are pleased with the reliability aspect and the completeness of the service. They have also remarked on the efficiency with which things are progressed. In light of the above, Award Property Management Ltd will be delighted to continue to engage MS Electrical Services for this work and have no hesitation in recommending their services to those requesting supplier details from us.
