Welcome to The PAT Tester (South Wales)

Providing a Portable Appliance Testing service primarily for voluntary sector organisations, community centres, small businesses, housing associations, stall holders, the performing arts, church halls, private landlords, residential care home owners and many others in South Wales: Swansea, Neath, Port Talbot, Bridgend, Brecon, Pontardawe, Llanelli, Ammanford, Llandeilo, Carmarthen, Cross Hands, Gower, Kidwelly, Llandovery, and surrounding areas. I also have a great deal of experience PAT Testing for supported-housing projects, including residential properties for men and women in recovery and safe houses.

My name is Bob Grainger. Trading as CompuTech Computing Services (please see my website: www.computechcomputing.com), I have been providing computer support for the voluntary sector, small businesses and individuals since 1989. I also provide a PAT Testing service. I am fully qualified in PAT Testing (City and Guilds 2377-200: Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment and 2377-100: Management of Electrical Equipment Maintenance).

For your peace of mind, please note that I have full Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance, and that I am also CRB-checked (Enhanced, January 2011, all clear). Insurance and CRB-check documents available for inspection.

Up to this present time (January, 2011), I have carried out over six-hundred PAT Testing jobs, and have tested some thirty-five thousand items.

I charge £1.25 per item tested (no VAT). The minimum charge is £60 per site (negotiable for same-day multiple sites with few items), but this does include up to the first forty-eight items at that site (see 'What do you charge for PAT Testing?').
