Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)
Electrical Equipment Testing and Repairs
Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, businesses should maintain electrical equipment in a safe condition. We provide Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) to satisfy your health and safety obligations and insurance requirements. Following IET guidelines, we help you keep your electrical equipment tested, tagged and in good working order. Providing you with certificates for each item tested.
What’s Included?
Whether it’s office or workshop equipment, kitchen appliances, power tools, extension leads or battery chargers, we have you covered:
✓ Thorough visual inspections: Checking the plug casing for cracks, verifying the correct fuse rating is fitted, and inspecting the cable for frays or damage.
✓ PAT - electrical testing: Using calibrated testing equipment to check earth continuity, insulation resistance, and earth leakage, ensuring internal components are completely safe.
✓ Plug wiring & terminal checks: Opening up plugs where necessary to ensure wires are tight, secure, and correctly connected.
✓ Minor electrical repairs: If an appliance fails a plug or fuse check, we’ll re-wire the plug or swap out the fuse on-the-spot, instantly turning a "failed" asset into a safe, usable one.
✓ Pass/Fail labeling & asset register: Labeling every appliance clearly and providing you with a full, transparent digital asset register and certificate for your compliance logs.
Recommended testing time frames are as follows:
• Power tools & workshop equipment: 3-6 months
• Kitchen appliances: 12 months
• IT & office equipment: 2-4 years
