The Problem - Faulty Electrical Appliances

Kettles, computers, power tools and extension leads all wear over time. Damaged cables, loose plugs and internal faults can turn everyday equipment into a fire or shock risk, often without any obvious signs.

The Solution - PAT Testing

Regular PAT testing identifies faulty appliances before they cause harm, keeping your equipment safe and giving you the paperwork to prove it.

Why is PAT testing important?

Employers and landlords have a duty under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 to keep electrical equipment safe, and most insurers expect evidence of regular PAT testing before paying out on a related claim.

What does PAT testing involve?

Each appliance is visually checked for damage, then electrically tested using specialist equipment. Every item is labelled with a pass or fail result, and you receive a full certificate covering everything tested.

How often should appliances be tested? This depends on the type of appliance, how often it is used and the environment it is in. Get in touch and we can recommend a testing schedule suited to your premises.
