MES PAT Testing

PAT testing for businesses and homeowners in Essex and the South East of England

MES PAT Testing is a company based in Braintree (Essex) dedicated to the inspection and testing of electrical and portable appliances. Its work is aimed at commercial, industrial and residential properties, and its coverage area includes Essex, Suffolk, Ipswich, Cambridge, Hertfordshire, Kent and London, as well as the whole of the South East of England.

The company presents itself as specialising in PAT testing (Portable Appliance Testing), the regulatory procedure used to verify the safety of electrical equipment. According to its own description, every completed job is delivered with a detailed asset register, the individual pass or fail results for each appliance and the official compliance certification.

Sectors served

The company distinguishes between three main areas of service. On the commercial side, it works for offices, factories and warehouses; shops, restaurants and hotels; schools, hospitals and care homes; landlords and property managers; and construction and events organisations. On the industrial side, it serves manufacturing plants, distribution centres and warehouses, construction sites, workshops and garages, and power stations and engineering facilities.

In the residential segment, MES PAT Testing carries out testing in private homes. Although it notes that this type of testing is not mandatory for homeowners, it recommends it for landlords who rent out properties, home businesses that use electrical equipment for work, holiday lets and Airbnbs, and homes with vulnerable residents, such as elderly people or people with disabilities.

High-security environments and airports

Among the specialised sectors it mentions are schools and educational sites, commercial premises and airport environments, with specific mention of Stansted, Gatwick and Heathrow airports. For these jobs, the company states that it has fully insured engineers, City & Guilds qualified and DBS-checked, which allows it to operate in high-security facilities, schools and airport sites.

Microwave leakage testing

In addition to PAT testing, MES PAT Testing carries out specific microwave oven leakage testing, on both commercial and domestic units, with the aim of maintaining workplace health and safety in workspaces.
