Keeping electrical safety in check

Keeping electrical safety in check

Working with Wintercomfort

1st December 2021

Wintercomfort for the Homeless is an information, advice, training and support centre in Cambridge for those who are homeless or vulnerably housed. Open daily throughout the year, they encourage and empower their service users to overcome disadvantage and to make positive, long-term changes to improve their lives.

We were pleased to be commissioned to carry out the PAT testing at their Cambridge centre recently, and we were overwhelmed to receive the following positive testimonial from Office Administrator, Ellie de Vries, on completion:

‘We used MS Electrical Services to do our PAT testing at our centre and were very pleased with the service. The technician was very efficient, friendly and professional, and worked around our very busy centre with no disruptions. We’ll definitely be using your services again next year. Thanks very much!’

For Mark Smith, it’s another example of how MS Electrical tailor their service to meet the specific needs of their clients. ‘Wintercomfort do a wonderful job in supporting the homeless and the vulnerable in Cambridge so we were delighted to be engaged to carry out their PAT testing,’ comments Mark. ‘The centre is busy with staff and service users so we needed to plan the work in carefully to ensure that we didn’t disrupt their day-to-day operations. Completing the PAT testing was important in that it enables everyone using the centre to do so with confidence that all appliances are safe to use, but it was equally important to ensure that the centre could continue to function normally without interruption.’

At MS Electrical we offer PAT testing in Cambridge. Should your annual PAT testing renewal date be approaching, please contact us for advice or to request a no-obligation quotation.

Testimonials

I am delighted to recommend MS Electrical Services and Mark Smith in particular for delivering a first-class service for us here at Footprint Signs and Graphics. PAT testing throughout our building with usual IT equipment and numerous small electrical tools carried out with no fuss and minimal disruption. The testing of our main supply and confirming that we are all safe and compliant was great news for us with print machines running all our vinyl work throughout the day. Mark was prompt, efficient and informative in carrying out the work, so if you need to get your testing done give him a call.
