Keep appliance records clear and current
Qualified testing personnel
Our City and Guilds-qualified engineers carry out organised electrical checks.
Transparent test outcomes
You can see which item passed, which failed and what needs to happen next.
Planned annual programmes
We help you organise repeat testing without rebuilding the asset list each year.
Know which appliances are safe to use
Damaged cables, loose plugs and unsuitable fuses are easy to miss during normal work. We begin with a visual inspection of each accessible appliance, checking its plug, fuse, wiring, cable and general condition. We then use calibrated equipment to carry out the electrical checks suited to the appliance. These may include earth continuity to confirm the protective path, insulation resistance to identify current leakage, polarity checks and a functional test. We record each item clearly, giving businesses, schools, landlords and HMO managers a practical account of the equipment checked rather than an unexplained sticker on each plug.
Receive useful records on the same day
After portable appliance testing, we provide a same-day certificate, detailed asset list and clear pass or fail results. Where an item needs attention, we record the issue and recommend the next remedial step rather than leaving you to interpret a code. Appliance numbers, types and condition affect the visit, as do access arrangements and the layout of your premises. Sharing an approximate quantity before attendance helps us prepare the scope. If you're managing recurring duties, we can also organise an annual testing programme with records that are easier to review from one cycle to the next.
Frequently asked questions
Does every electrical item need the same PAT test?
No. We choose checks according to the appliance class, design and condition. Some items need earth continuity testing, while others rely on insulation checks and visual inspection. We record the tests used and the result for each accessible asset.
What should we prepare before the PAT visit?
Please share an approximate appliance count, the types of equipment on site and any access limits. Make appliances available where possible and identify areas that need an escort, keys or permission. This helps us plan the visit and reduce delays.
What happens when an appliance fails?
We mark the result clearly in your records and explain the fault found. You can then remove the item from use and arrange repair or replacement as appropriate. Our documentation keeps failed items separate from equipment that passed.
