PAT testing applies to portable electrical appliances that plug into the mains, such as kettles, computers, power tools, and extension leads. Battery-only or hard-wired equipment usually doesn’t need testing. The need for testing depends on how and where the equipment is used.

PAT testing can be carried out at a time convenient to you. Our PAT testing technician Chris will ensure minimal disruption is caused.

Once the PAT testing has been carried out, you will receive a paper copy of your PAT Testing Record and an email copy will be sent to you. Please keep this safe. We keep records of all PAT testing carried out for 7 years, so in the event of lost paperwork, we have you covered. You will also receive a receipt upon completion of payment.

Many insurance providers require evidence of electrical safety as part of policy conditions. Having regular PAT testing helps demonstrate compliance and can support insurance claims if an incident occurs.

PAT testing frequency depends on the type of equipment, how often it’s used, and the environment. Office equipment and salon equipment are usually tested every 1–2 years, while high-risk or site equipment may need testing every 3–6 months. A risk assessment should guide the schedule.
