PAT Testing in Southam
Southam sits just north of Banbury and is part of our regular patch.
PAT testing for Southam businesses
Southam is a short run north from Banbury and part of our regular round, which means we can often combine it with other Warwickshire jobs and keep the cost down. The town is smaller than Leamington or Warwick, and the work is mostly independent businesses, professional offices and community buildings, along with the light industrial units off the Daventry and Kineton roads. Small single-site businesses like these usually come in comfortably under our 50-item flat price.
Typical customers here are independent shops, professional offices, community buildings and light industrial units. If your postcode is in CV47 and the surrounding Warwickshire postcodes, you are inside our normal coverage area and there is no travel charge.
What a Southam test costs
Our price is based on the number of items, not your postcode. As a worked example, a 40-item village hall in Southam 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.

Is there a travel charge for Southam?
No. Southam is inside our regular coverage area, so travel is included in the price you are quoted.
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.
