Looking for the LOWEST Price for your PAT Testing?

You've come to the WRONG place!

Over the last few years we've watched the PAT Testing Industry turn almost on its head - where companies once were charging a fortune to test your equipment, now they're charging mere pennies. If you are looking for the cheapest price for your PAT Testing, please browse around the internet - you'll find dozens of companies falling over themselves to undercut each other, and give you the lowest possible price. But please, take a moment to consider what you'll get for your 67p (or less) per item!

If you are paying 'The Lowest Price Guaranteed' per item for your PAT Testing - it is almost certain that your equipment is NOT being tested properly.

And remember, the Health and Safety at Work Act makes you, not your PAT Testing Company, responsible if you have an accident.

If you have paid an unrealistically low price for your PAT Testing (and turned a blind eye to the fact that the so called 'engineers' were not actually testing your equipment at all), you would almost certainly get sued (and probably prosecuted by the HSE) if someone were to be seriously injured or killed on your premises. It's a sobering thought, isn't it?

PAT Testing Prices

One of the most common questions we are asked is:

"How much does PAT Testing cost?"

The honest answer is that it depends on a number of factors, including the number of items to be tested, their location, the type of equipment involved, and how easily accessible the equipment is.

However, before you start comparing prices, there is something important you should know.

We Are Unlikely To Be The Cheapest

If you are simply looking for the lowest price per item, there will almost certainly be somebody cheaper than us.

There are companies advertising PAT Testing at extremely low rates, and there will always be somebody willing to reduce their prices even further.

We have never tried to compete on price alone.

Instead, we focus on providing a professional service carried out by experienced engineers who understand electrical safety and take pride in doing the job properly.

Why PAT Testing Prices Vary So Much

PAT Testing is often sold as if it were a simple commodity.

Unfortunately, not all PAT Testing services are equal.

When prices are driven down to the lowest possible level, engineers are often expected to test unrealistic numbers of items in a day. The pressure to work quickly can result in rushed inspections, poor record keeping, and important faults being missed.

A pass label takes seconds to put on.

A competent inspection and test takes time.

The lesson is simple:

The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

A Cautionary Tale. (A True Story)

We met a school Premises Manager on a course recently who'd just engaged a professional company to test the items in his school. The company sent 2 men, who 'tested' 5500 items in 4 days. That's an average of nearly 700 items per man, per day, or approx 100 per hour. Please understand, this is just physically IMPOSSIBLE. At 70p per item, the school had paid £3850 - and for what? They had 5500 stickers and a certificate to say their equipment had been tested - and that's all!

After spending the day with us on the training course, the Premises Manager went away feeling very sober - he'd seen, first hand, what was involved in PAT Testing properly - and he knew he'd wasted his school's money!He learned all about checking the plugs, how to check the correct fuse, how to carry out essential tests, and much more. He realised that very little, if any, of the essential checks had been carried out on his equipment, and of course, he now doesn't know for sure if ANY of it is safe.

Imagine how he'd feel if a child were to be injured (or killed) in his school? What would you do if we were talking about your childrens' school? (for obvious reasons we're not going to mention which school it is, but we have offered to help them get their money back from the company!)

Still looking for the LOWEST price?

There was a time when we offered a lowest price guarantee, but we don't now. We refuse, point blank, to compete with companies who employ untrained staff, who do not monitor or quality check their employees' work, and who offer a price so low that it can only be achieved by cutting corners. Our prices are fair and competitive, but we offer a service - in other words, we do what we say.

We don't have hundreds of engineers, but we do have a small network of capable, experienced and highly trained engineers. We are selective over which jobs we take on, and we will only offer to help if we can do the job properly. Of course, our prices are fair and competitive, but if we end up in a bidding war please don't be offended if we back out graciously and invite you to go with a lower quote if we don't believe we can do the job properly!

If you're looking for a new PAT Testing company, if you're worried that your current supplier might be ripping you off, or if you simply want to talk through your options, please give us a call, in confidence if you prefer, and we'll be happy to share our wisdom and experience, and hopefully help you to get your PAT Testing back on track!
