★★★★★
PTA was very useful during our search for a PAT tester as a landlord. They helped me get all of my fitted kitchen appliances tested before my tenant moved in. I discovered the oven was problematic and dangerous to use before it could hurt anyone. Great service, I would definitely recommend it.

As a nursery, we really have to make sure all of the items — especially the ones children can reach — are safe. PAT Testing Association has been very helpful with getting us in contact with professional PAT testing experts. Our appliances are safe and we have our PAT certificates to prove it.

The portable appliance testing engineer we contacted through the PAT Testing Association was kind, professional and thorough. He checked and labelled everything and gave us pointers on caring for our electrical appliances. We would recommend their services.
