Pat Testing Edinburgh
Pat Testing Edinburgh welcome to AEW Electrical (Andy White) PAT & Fixed Appliances testing services for landlords and letting agents along with small business. Additional services include Legionella , RCD & Fire detection checks.
City Centre PAT and fixed Appliance Testing
With the current In Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment Code of Practice 5th Edition that includes portable & fixed equipment . AEW recognises that Landlords and Letting Agents along with small business in the city centre have issues getting access for contractors due to restricted or no parking environment in some areas. So, AEW is now offering a mobile PAT service using public transport.
AEW has created PAT testing Edinburgh and have been servicing properties in the city centre for the past 15 years. AEW fully understands that the street parking is being reduced to allow a more pedestrian friendly environment. This makes it more difficult to service and maintain properties in these areas. Apparently some contractors are openly turning down this type of work due to lack of access. So, AEW approach is to try and work with it. Moreover adaption of the business is required to suit the environment and customers needs to get the work done.
Fixed Appliance Testing
What does fix appliance testing consist of as there is no plug top to test with. Please see this short video by Seaward who is a leading UK PAT tester manufacturer.
Landlord & Letting Agent Feedback
AEW has listened to feedback from Landlords and Letting Agents. The opinion appears to be that they finding it more difficult to get their properties serviced for maintenance within the timescales required . Their main concern is that safety checks are going past there due dates.
Also to answer a query by a couple of landlords and letting agents who say Some PAT testers companies are saying you can ignore testing fixed appliances. I have explained that most of them are not electricians so the lack of experience , training & insurance puts them at a disadvantage. In conclusion I highlighted that the property does not comply with the Code of Practice 5th edition. This is the standard the City of Edinburgh council expects.
