The Story
A Different Kind of Compliance Business
PAT-ON was founded by David Paton with a straightforward goal: to provide Reading and Berkshire businesses with the kind of personal, professional service that the large national testing companies simply don't offer.
When you book with PAT-ON, you deal with David directly from your first call through to your final certificate. There's no call centre taking your details, no subcontractor turning up on the day, and no salesperson upselling you services you don't need. Just straightforward, qualified electrical safety testing — done properly, at a fair price.
David holds the City & Guilds Level 3 Award in the In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment (2377) — the recognised professional qualification for PAT testing — and is fully trained in emergency lighting inspection and testing to BS 5266.
Based in Reading, PAT-ON serves businesses across Berkshire and the wider Thames Valley — from small independent cafés to multi-site office portfolios. Short local travel times keep costs down and mean fast availability when you need a quick turnaround.
