About MES PAT Testing Ltd
Essex's most trusted PAT testing company, with over 20 years of experience protecting businesses across the South East.
Founded in Braintree, Essex, MES PAT Testing Ltd has grown from a small local testing service into one of the South East's most respected electrical safety companies. Today we serve over 2,000 business clients annually, from sole traders and small offices to large industrial facilities, schools, and public sector organisations.
Our Story
MES PAT Testing Ltd was founded over 20 years ago by a team of experienced electrical engineers who recognised a gap in the market for a truly professional, customer-focused PAT testing service in Essex. While many competitors focused purely on price, we built our reputation on quality, thoroughness, and reliability.
Based in Braintree, at the heart of Essex, we were ideally positioned to serve the county's diverse business community — from the growing technology and logistics sectors around Chelmsford and Thurrock to the agricultural businesses in rural Essex and the hospitality sector along the coast.
Over time, our coverage expanded naturally as our reputation grew. Today we serve businesses across Essex, Greater London, Hertfordshire, Kent, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire — with the same local, personal service that distinguished us from the start.
We remain an independent, Essex-based business. All our engineers are DBS checked, and our qualified electricians are NICEIC certified. Every test we perform meets or exceeds IET Code of Practice standards. And every certificate we issue is a genuine legal document that protects your business.
Safety First
Electrical safety isn't just our business — it's our mission. We approach every job with the same rigour regardless of the size of the premises.
Minimal Disruption
We work around your schedule, offering early morning, evening, and weekend appointments so testing doesn't impact your operations.
