Who Needs PAT Testing
PAT testing is useful for any place that uses plug-in electrical items. This includes offices, shops, schools, care homes, and building sites. It also helps landlords, letting agents, and holiday lets show they take safety seriously.
If you run a small business, manage a property, or employ staff, PAT testing can help reduce risk and support your duty of care. Even home workers may benefit if they use work equipment at home.
PAT Testing Services
I offer flexible PAT testing for homes, rentals, and businesses of all sizes. I work around your opening hours where possible to reduce disruption. Testing is carried out in a tidy and careful way, with clear labels added to each appliance.
I focus on safety, accuracy, and simple reporting, so you know what has been tested and what needs attention. If you have many items, I can plan the visit to keep things running smoothly.
Portable appliance testing
I test plug-in appliances using the correct checks for each item. This may include earth checks, insulation checks, and basic function checks where suitable.
I work through your equipment in an organised way, from desks and kitchens to storage areas.
Each item is tested with care and recorded properly. This helps you keep a clear list of what you have and what condition it is in.
Visual safety inspections
A visual check is an important part of PAT testing. I look for damage to plugs, cables, and casings, as well as signs of overheating or poor repairs.
Many issues can be found without any test machine, such as cracked plugs or loose wires.
If I find a problem, I explain it clearly and record it in the results. This helps you fix issues before they become hazards.
Appliance labelling
After testing, I label each appliance so you can see its status at a glance.
Labels normally show the test date, the result, and when it should be checked again.
This makes it easier for staff, tenants, or managers to know what is safe to use.
It also helps if you have inspections, audits, or insurance checks. I place labels neatly and avoid causing damage to surfaces.
PAT test reports and registers
You will receive a report that lists each appliance and the test outcome.
I can include item details such as location and description, so it is easy to match results to the right equipment.
A register helps you keep control of your appliances over time, especially if you add new items. I keep the report clear and easy to read. If anything fails, it is clearly marked with simple notes.
Retesting reminders and scheduling
Keeping up with retesting is easier when it is planned. I can help you set a sensible schedule based on the type of equipment and how it is used.
Items in heavy use may need checking more often than low-use appliances. I keep notes so your future visits are smooth and well organised.This helps you avoid missed dates and keeps your records up to date.
Fixed equipment testing
Some fixed equipment can also be included where appropriate, such as hard-wired items that are part of a workspace setup.
I will check what can be safely tested and explain what is included before I start. These checks help you build a wider picture of electrical safety on site.
Results are recorded in the same clear way as other items. If specialist testing is needed, I will advise you on the next step.
What PAT Testing Covers
PAT testing covers a mix of visual checks and electrical tests on portable appliances. It looks at plugs, fuses, cable condition, and signs of damage or overheating. It can also include checks such as earth continuity and insulation resistance where suitable for the item.
Appliances are then recorded, labelled, and added to a report. PAT testing does not replace a full electrical inspection of a building, but it is a helpful way to reduce risks from everyday plug-in equipment.
