PAT testing: your questions
PAT testing for your premises
Arrange portable appliance inspection and testing for offices, shops, workshops, rental properties and holiday accommodation. Typical items include kettles, extension leads, computers, chargers and portable tools. Tell us about unusual or specialist equipment before booking so the scope can be confirmed.
Plan access and a clear quotation
Send your postcode, approximate appliance count, equipment types and any deadline. Mention occupied rooms, equipment that must stay running and access restrictions. Items may need disconnecting; arrangements and reporting are agreed in advance. Cost depends on the quantity, equipment and access, rather than one price fitting every premises.
How often is testing needed?
Inspection and testing intervals depend on equipment, use and environment. There is no blanket legal requirement for annual PAT testing. User checks and visual inspections also matter. See HSE guidance on appliance testing.
