PAT Testing
PATA-accredited portable appliance testing for offices, rental properties and commercial premises. Certificates issued same day.
Learn moreA locally-run fire safety and electrical compliance business based in Chelmsford, Essex. Serving businesses and landlords across all of Essex with a straightforward, personal service.
RTF Compliance was founded to offer Essex businesses and landlords something that was increasingly hard to find from larger fire safety companies: a genuinely personal service, honest pricing, and the certainty of dealing with the same expert from first contact through to completed paperwork.
Based in Hatfield Peverel, Chelmsford, with a second base at Colchester Business Centre, RTF Compliance serves the whole of Essex - from Harwich to Harlow, Colchester to Canvey Island. Customers include offices, warehouses, schools, restaurants, landlords, care homes and community organisations of every size.
The business has grown entirely through word of mouth and repeat business. That growth reflects a simple commitment: only recommend work that is genuinely needed, arrive on time, do it properly, and issue the paperwork before leaving.
Richard
Founder & Lead EngineerRTF Compliance was built on the belief that businesses deserve a direct line to a qualified expert, not a call centre or a chain of third parties. Every job is handled by our lead engineer, every certificate is issued on the day, and every client gets a straight answer.
That consistency matters in a field where the quality of the work and the accuracy of the paperwork are both safety-critical.
Genuinely local
Based in Chelmsford with coverage across all of Essex. Not a national company operating through franchises - we cover the county directly, with no middlemen.
No long-term contracts
You book the work you need, when you need it. Customers return year after year because of the service, not because they are contractually obligated to.
Transparent pricing
Clear quotes before any work begins. No hidden call-out charges, no unexpected extras on the invoice - only work that is genuinely required.
Same-day certification
All compliance certificates and reports issued on the day of the visit. No chasing for paperwork weeks after the job is done.
Weekend availability
Available evenings and Sundays for businesses that cannot accommodate compliance visits during standard trading hours.
Honest advice
RTF Compliance only recommends work that is actually needed. Customers consistently note this in their reviews as one of the most valued aspects of the service.
