GPS Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)
If you own a holiday let or small business, electrical safety is a serious responsibility and a legal requirement. One important aspect of this is to ensure your electrical appliances are safe and well maintained. PAT testing annually is an ideal way to fulfill this obligation, and minimize risk of fire or electrocution. We carry out a full visual inspection of each appliance and an electrical test using the latest, calibrated PAT testing device, in compliance with IET code of practice (5th edition). Appliances are labeled with the appropriate sticker, and a report of all test results issued. Small repairs (replacement plugs or fuses) can be carried out when required.
GPS PAT testing is part of Gleam Property Services established in 2016. The owner, Steve Channon, has over 40 years experience in mechanical and electrical engineering, including 22 years as a service technician in document solutions.
