Cheap PAT Testing and National Companies
Finding a PAT testing service that fits into your budget can seem
difficult. Most companies charge varying fees and it may seem
completely impossible to find cheap PAT testing. While there are a
number of testing companies that will provide you with low rates, you
should consider carefully who you select to perform your PAT testing,
But of course we would say that.
There is an old saying that “you get what you pay for.” You should
ensure that your cheap PAT testing means cheap in price only and
not in service

You have to be certain that the person carrying out your PAT testing is
deemed “competent.” They should have some level of experience or
formal training. Here at Abele Electrical Testing we have over 48 years
in Electrical and Electronic environments. Working on 110, 240v, 440v
single and 3 Phase equipment.
If the PAT testing you hire is too cheap, you may find them skimping on
their job. This means that they may not perform testing properly which
could make you non-compliant with regulations.
When selecting cheap PAT testing services you have to be certain that
you are hiring a qualified company or individual. Take some time to do a
bit of research and comparison shopping. This ensures that you get a
qualified and experienced tester but can also help you to get the testing
services you need at a lower than average cost, which we hope we can
provide.
PAT testing is not done only to satisfy legislation. It should be done to
ensure safety throughout your property. Choosing a cheap PAT testing
service should not mean skimping on quality. You should be able to find
the services that you need to comply with regulations while still helping
to protect your budget a bit. A simple internet search for PAT testing
should show you a number of companies and individuals that offer
lower than average rates.
In our experience we have come across a National Company that just
looked at the fittings and then stick a pass sticker on it.
We have also seen a completed appliance register that listed computers
as having 13 amp fuses in them, Clearly either never checked or
checked but did not replace for a correct amperage fuse.
So are we a Cheap PAT Testing Company.
The answer is obviously YES.
What makes us cheap. Simple answer is that we have very low
overheads. We work from home, so no office overhead, we only do
Portable Appliance Testing, so no expensive electrical equipment or
employees required. I served 33 Years in the Royal Navy Submarine
service and now ‘retired’ doing PAT testing as a Professional Service.
