At Border Testing, we believe in keeping things simple and transparent when it comes to our pricing.

You might hear about some of the larger companies pushing their technicians to test 500 items a day. Let’s be honest — that’s just not realistic. To hit those numbers, they’d have to rush through your office, sticking labels on everything they see without properly checking each item.

That’s not how we do things. Sure, we have targets — every business does — but ours are sensible and based on the time it actually takes to do a thorough, safe job. On average, we aim to test around 150 to 200 items per day, depending on the location and setup. That’s a realistic and responsible workload, and it’s what you should expect from any professional PAT tester.

So when you’re comparing quotes, take a moment to think about what’s behind the numbers. If someone’s offering to do it for half the price, ask yourself: can they really provide the same level of care and quality?

If what you want is peace of mind and safely tested equipment, it’s worth choosing a service that values safety and integrity over speed. At Border Testing, we’re proud to offer genuine value for money — fair prices for quality work, carried out properly. When the job’s done, you’ll know it’s been done right.
