PAT Testing in Banbury
Banbury is our home town, so most jobs here are same-week and often next-day.
PAT testing for Banbury businesses
Banbury is where we are based, which makes it the fastest place for us to reach. We test across the town's mix of trading estates and town-centre premises, from the industrial units off Beaumont Road and Thorpe Way to the shops around Castle Quay and the offices along the Oxford and Southam roads. Being local means no travel charge and no long lead time, and if something needs a second visit we can usually get back within a day or two rather than a fortnight.
Typical customers here are offices, shops, warehouses, letting agents and light industrial units. If your postcode is in OX15, OX16 and OX17, you are inside our normal coverage area and there is no travel charge.
What a Banbury test costs
Our price is based on the number of items, not your postcode. As a worked example, a 35-item town-centre office in Banbury comes to £50, all in. That covers travel, a pass or fail label on every item, minor repairs on the spot and your certificate. Parts such as replacement plugs and fuses are charged separately, and we are not VAT registered so there is nothing to add on top.

How quickly can you PAT test in Banbury?
Banbury is our base, so we can often fit you in the same week and sometimes the next day. Book a morning or afternoon slot online and we will confirm it with you.
How much does PAT testing cost?
Our pricing is fixed and all-inclusive: £50 for up to 50 items. For larger jobs it's £50 for the first 50 items, then 80p per item up to 200, and 70p per item beyond that.
Every price includes travel, pass/fail stickers on every item, minor repairs carried out on the spot, and a PDF certificate. Any parts we fit, such as new plugs or fuses, are charged separately. There are no call-out fees, and nothing else added on the day. We're not VAT registered, so there's no VAT on top. (Prices shown are a starting guide; confirm your job when you book.)
How often should appliances be PAT tested?
There is no fixed legal interval. The right frequency depends on the type of equipment and the environment it's used in. Higher-risk items that get moved around, like power tools, extension leads and kettles, are tested more often than low-risk, stationary equipment such as a desktop monitor.
As a rough guide, many offices and shops test annually, while construction and hire equipment may be tested every few months. We'll advise the right interval for your premises when we visit, so you're not paying to test things more often than you need.
Are you insured and qualified?
Yes. We hold the City & Guilds 2377-77 award in in-service inspection and testing, carry £5m public liability insurance, and use calibrated test equipment in line with the IET Code of Practice. You'll get a documented, compliant certificate you can show to your insurer or letting agent.
