The Electricity at Work Regulations require employers to keep electrical equipment safe, and PAT testing is the accepted way to show you have done that. We visually inspect and electrically test each appliance, label it pass or fail, and give you a register you can show your insurer or landlord.
We work around your opening hours, including evenings and weekends. Larger asset lists are discounted, and failed items can often be repaired on the spot with a new plug or fuse.

Questions about pat testing
How often should appliances be PAT tested?
It depends on the equipment and environment. Office IT is often every two to four years, while tools on a building site may need testing every three months. We can advise on a sensible schedule.
