MX2 Electrical does this work for homes, landlords, shops and workplaces in Poole, Bournemouth, Broadstone, Wimborne Minster, Wareham, Parkstone, Ferndown, Christchurch, Canford Heath and Westbourne.
- Offices, shops and workshopsManagers book a visit when the kettle, vacuum, laptop chargers and hand tools need a fresh check before the next busy period.
- Landlords and letting agentsA landlord books PAT testing when a furnished flat in Poole or Bournemouth has lamps, heaters and white goods that tenants will plug in.
- Homes with a lot of kitA household books us when a garage, annex or home office is full of power tools, extension leads and heaters that have not been checked for years.
- After a move or a refitA firm books testing when it moves into a new unit or restocks a kitchen, so every appliance is checked before it goes back into daily use.

WhatsAppHow much does PAT testing cost?
PAT testing starts from £70 an hour. A small office is usually a short visit. A warehouse of tools and chargers takes longer because each item is checked in turn.
What is PAT testing?
PAT testing is the check of portable electrical appliances, the plug-in kit such as kettles, drills, lamps and extension leads. We inspect each item, test it, and leave you a list of what passed and what failed.
Do you PAT test in Bournemouth as well as Poole?
Yes. We cover Poole, Bournemouth, Broadstone, Wimborne Minster, Wareham, Parkstone, Ferndown, Christchurch, Canford Heath and Westbourne, and we travel further across Dorset, south Wiltshire and west Hampshire.
What happens if an appliance fails?
We mark it as a fail, take it out of use, and tell you on the day. Repair or replacement is a separate job if you want us to do that work.
When can you come?
We answer the phone at any time. Booked PAT visits run in our opening hours.
