What Is PAT Testing?
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is integral when it comes to the preservation and safety of electric portable appliances. Commonly, commercial businesses rely on a range of portable electrical appliances to run smoothly day-to-day.
Alongside this, PAT tests are essential in detecting and locating signs of deterioration, and ensuring premises are maintained in an electrically safe condition, as well as preventing potentially disruptive, inconvenient breakdowns or faults.
PAT Testing Services
Whether you manage a single office, multiple rental properties, or a busy construction compound, we tailor our PAT programmes to suit your schedule and risk profile.
From one-off compliance surveys to annual rolling contracts, we test, label, and digitally record every appliance, providing instant certification and actionable maintenance recommendations for complete peace of mind and audit readiness.
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)
Our core Portable Appliance Testing covers everything from kettles to extension reels, combining visual inspections with calibrated meter tests.
Each asset receives a unique ID, pass label, and entry in your dynamic compliance register, ensuring traceability, simplified auditing, and effortless scheduling for future retests across your organisation.
Landlord Appliance Safety Checks
Protecting tenants and assets, our landlord service inspects microwaves, fridges, heaters, and communal appliances between tenancies or alongside gas and EICR visits.
We issue digital certificates compatible with leading property-management platforms, supporting Section 21 compliance and demonstrating due diligence to letting agents, insurers, and local authorities.
Office Equipment Testing
We specialise in low-disruption testing of desktops, servers, copiers, and telephony systems within live office environments.
Our technicians work out-of-hours or desk-by-desk to minimise downtime, applying anti-static protocols and supplying detailed reports that help IT managers spot aging equipment before it compromises productivity or safety.
PAT Testing for Schools and Public Buildings
From classrooms to libraries, we understand the diverse appliance inventory in educational and civic estates.
Our DBS-vetted engineers schedule visits outside teaching hours, test AV carts, kitchen equipment, and workshop machinery, and deliver segmented reports that align with local authority frameworks and safeguarding policies.
Construction Site Appliance Testing
Site environments demand rugged, frequent testing; we meet HSE guidelines by inspecting 110 V tools, transformers, hoists, and welfare units as often as weekly.
All results sync to a cloud dashboard, giving site managers real-time pass rates and automatic reminders before critical equipment re-enters service.
Certification and Test Reporting
Every project concludes with instant PDF certification, asset-level readings, and trend analytics.
Our online portal stores historical data, flags high-risk failures, and integrates with maintenance systems via CSV or API exports, empowering compliance officers to evidence statutory inspections and drive proactive replacement programmes across their estate.
