Certified PAT Testing for Tools and Trade Equipment
Keep your tools, equipment, and site electrics safe, compliant, and ready for work with professional PAT testing for tradespeople across North Cambridgeshire.
We provide a fully managed portable appliance testing service for electricians, contractors, installers, and subcontractors, ensuring your equipment is tested, labelled, and certified with minimal disruption to your workload.
PAT testing designed for trades and site work
Trade environments place higher demands on electrical equipment due to frequent use, site conditions, and transport between jobs.
We specialise in testing tools and equipment used in construction, maintenance, installation, and contracting work.
Typical trade equipment we test includes:
- 110V and 240V power tools
- Drills, saws, grinders, and sanders
- Extension leads and cable reels
- Site transformers and temporary electrics
- Battery chargers and portable tool chargers
- Portable site lighting
- Handheld electrical equipment used on-site
- Any portable electrical equipment used in trade environments
We identify damaged cables, worn plugs, and unsafe equipment before they cause delays, failures, or safety risks on site.
Built for busy tradespeople
We understand that subcontractors and trades work on tight schedules across multiple sites, often with little time for admin or compliance paperwork.
That’s why our service is designed to be fast, flexible, and efficient.
We offer:

- Fast turnaround for certification
- Minimal disruption to your working day
- Clear communication before and during visits

Our service includes:
- Full inspection and PAT testing of portable tools and equipment
- Clear pass/fail labelling on all items
- Digital or printed certification for site compliance

Frequently asked questions
Do trade tools legally require PAT testing?
There is no specific legal requirement for PAT testing, but employers and self-employed tradespeople are responsible for ensuring electrical equipment is safe to use under health and safety regulations.
How often should power tools be PAT tested?
This depends on usage, environment, and risk level. Tools used on construction sites or in harsh conditions typically require more frequent testing than low-use equipment.
Can testing be done on-site?
Yes. We can carry out testing at your home, workshop, or site location depending on what is most convenient.
What happens if a tool fails testing?
Any failed equipment is clearly labelled and reported so you can decide whether to repair, replace, or remove it from service.
