PAT Testing in Kidlington
At the southern edge of our patch, Kidlington and north Oxford are covered.
PAT testing for Kidlington businesses
Kidlington is the southern edge of our patch and the closest we get to Oxford itself. The Langford Lane area around London Oxford Airport is the busiest part for us, with aviation, maintenance and light engineering businesses alongside conventional office units. Hangar and maintenance environments are dusty and hard on equipment, so leads and portable tools tend to fail visual inspection more often than they do in an office, which is worth factoring into how often you test.
Typical customers here are aviation and maintenance businesses, offices, village shops and rental property. If your postcode is in OX5 and the north Oxford postcodes, you are inside our normal coverage area and there is no travel charge.
What a Kidlington test costs
Our price is based on the number of items, not your postcode. As a worked example, a 100-item maintenance workshop in Kidlington comes to £90, 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.

Do you cover Oxford as well as Kidlington?
Kidlington and north Oxford are within our normal area. For central and south Oxford, ask us first, as it is at the edge of our patch and we may agree a small travel charge.
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.
