So What is COVERTEST and is it really worth the money?

  • Is my annual Calibration included in the £12.50 + VAT per month?

    Yes Covertest is an annually repeating Calibration and Repair service plan. Your annual Calibration is included within the plan.

  • So can I sign up to COVERTEST pay £12.50 +VAT and leave with my Calibration Certificate?

    When you book your Calibration, if your test equipment passes the calibration process, then yes you will be offered COVERTEST. 

    We only ask you to make the first payment when signing up and then set up your standing order to us before the next payment is due.

  • Once I have signed the agreement for COVERTEST am I then covered for any repairs?

    Once you are a COVERTEST customer, if your test equipment develops a fault, it will be repaired within the cost of the plan.


To explain this best, lets look at two Electricians, Oliver and Steve.


When Oliver contacted us he asked the cost of a calibration while you wait service for his Megger MFT 1741+

We informed Oliver the cost of this is £79.00 plus VAT


Oliver agreed a date and time with us and arrived for his calibration.


We offered Oliver a coffee and said his calibration would take around one hour, we also gave Oliver an information leaflet on our

COVERTEST calibration and repair service plan.


There is no pressure to sign up to this we explained, its just something you may be interested in.


The information explained that COVERTEST  was an annual calibration and repair service plan, which you can pay monthly interest free and the cost is £12.50 per month plus VAT


For this cost Olivers calibration while you wait was included, he was also covered within this cost for any repairs, this was of great interest to Oliver because his Megger MFT 1741+ had been back to the manufacturer for repair in the past and as with many manufacturers, their fixed cost repairs can be very expensive.


Another benefit Oliver liked was, the last time his Megger was in for repair he was without a multifunction tester, however with COVERTEST Oliver would receive an equivalent, Calibrated,  Multifunction Tester, for the entire time his tester was in for repair, so he never had to worry about being without one.


Oliver decided to sign up to COVERTEST,  his first bonus was he only had to pay £12.50 plus VAT, in place of the £79.00 plus VAT he was expecting.


Olivers tester didn't develop a fault, so looking froward Oliver wondered if his would subscribe again to COVERTEST, however later Olivers Megger MFT 1741+ was stolen from his Van while he was half way through installing an EV charging point, Oliver then remembered COVERTEST gave support to customers who had their test instruments Stolen


Oliver received a same day FREE two week hire of an equivalent Calibrated test instrument and EV charging adapter along with a discount of our exstensive range of new test Equipment.


All this for only £12.50 per month plus VAT , Yes Oliver decided COVERTEST is really worth it.

Steve had been in before and Steve doesn't like signing up to subscriptions


So we chatted to Steve and asked him what his concerns were with signing up to COVERTEST as we could see he was interested.


The last time I signed up to a subscription, the company I subscribed to took money from my bank account, I hadn't  agree to and it took me a lot of work and stress to get that money refunded, Steve explained


We don't use direct debit Steve, you pay us by standing order, we have no access to your bank and you are always in control.


When I wanted to get out of the subscription the company charged me extra fees for terminating, that was very frustrating


We don't have any charges for ending an annually repeating COVERTEST plan, all we ask is if you sign up, you pay the full twelve months, two months before the end of an agreement we will contact you and let you know when your COVERTEST plan is being renewed, if you don't want it just tell us and we will not renew it, its as simple as that.


I had a subscription once and the cost just kept escalating, in the end it was overpriced


COVERTEST is fixed at this price until it is reviewed in 2030


Steve found all these answers reassuring and decided to go ahead with the COVERTEST plan
