    Why it's worth paying a decent amount for a proper PAT Test

    I taught a PAT Testing training course in a hotel last week. My customer, who organised the course, had told the hotel staff I was coming, and it seems they panicked, and booked somebody to come in and test their own stuff. I think they were worried in case I noticed that they hadn't had it...

    What are you paying for a Structural survey?

    Just wondering what everyone's doing with structural calcs? I'm pretty sure our main competition doesn't do them at all (along with SAP calcs).

So why do suppliers...

    There is another thread talking about the need for structural assessments but how do you pay for them?
