Construction sites are among the most electrically hazardous working environments in the UK. Power tools and site equipment are subjected to constant physical abuse — dropped, dragged across rough surfaces, exposed to rain, mud, and cement dust. The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) identifies electrical hazards as a leading cause of accidents on construction sites, and requires employers to maintain all electrical equipment in a safe condition.
Whether you're a small business in Folkestone with a handful of appliances, or a large organisation with hundreds of items to test, our engineers can visit your premises at a time that suits you — including early mornings, evenings, and weekends — to ensure your business maintains full electrical safety compliance.

FAQs: Construction Site PAT Testing in Folkestone
How often should power tools on construction sites be PAT tested?
The IET Code of Practice recommends PAT testing power tools on construction sites every 3 months. 110V CTE equipment should also be tested every 3 months due to the harsh conditions of site use.
What is 110V CTE equipment and why is it used on sites?
110V CTE (centre-tap-to-earth) equipment is powered at 110 volts from a transformer with the centre tap earthed, so the maximum voltage to earth is only 55V. This significantly reduces the risk of electrocution compared to 240V mains, which is why it's widely used on UK construction sites.
Can your engineers gain access to active construction sites?
Yes — our engineers are familiar with site access requirements and can complete site inductions. Many hold CSCS site awareness cards. Please discuss your specific site's requirements when booking.
