Understanding Your PAT Testing Obligations
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) checks that electrical equipment is safe to use. There is no universal legal requirement for an annual test: the law, including the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, requires equipment to be kept in a safe condition.
A risk-based schedule is the most effective way to meet that duty. We assess how hard your equipment is used and recommend proportionate testing intervals.
Who Needs PAT Testing?
Landlords and Letting Agents
If you supply appliances such as washing machines, fridges, or microwaves, you are responsible for their safety. We often test them alongside the EICR, so both are done in one visit.
Offices and Commercial Workplaces
IT hardware to breakroom appliances, systematically tested and catalogued.
Supported Living & HMOs
Stringent testing that satisfies local authority licensing and care regulations.

A visual check of plugs, cables and casings, then electrical tests where appropriate.

Adrian replied promptly and offered a very reasonable price. Lam, the electrician, finished the job quickly with excellent workmanship.
“They were professional, punctual and efficient. They were able to attend my property to provide a quote at extremely short notice and, better yet, were able to complete the job the following day having provided the quote.”
“Communication has always been superb. Adrian and Lam are a great team and a pleasure to work with! Their prices are competitive, they work efficiently, professionally, and with a passion for their trade.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t see your question? Call 07925 063137 for a direct answer.
Do new appliances need a PAT test?
New equipment from a reputable supplier should be free from faults and doesn't need a formal PAT test before it is used. A visual check for transit damage is still recommended, and we include new items in your next scheduled test.
Will testing disrupt my office?
We briefly power down each item to test it, working systematically to minimise disruption. Large premises can be tested out of hours.
What happens if an appliance fails?
It is labelled as unsafe and should be taken out of use immediately. Simple faults, such as a damaged plug or the wrong fuse, can often be fixed on the spot.
