GET A QUOTEFrequently Asked Questions
How often should PAT testing be carried out?
There is no fixed legal interval for PAT testing. The frequency depends on the type of equipment, how often it’s used, and the environment it operates in. We can advise on suitable testing intervals based on your setup and risk level.
What types of equipment do you test?
We test all portable electrical appliances, including office equipment, kitchen and catering appliances, handheld tools, extension leads, heaters, fans, chargers, and power adapters. If it plugs into a socket, it can usually be PAT tested.
Do you offer one-off PAT testing services?
Yes. We provide both one-off PAT testing and scheduled testing for businesses that require ongoing compliance. One-off testing is ideal for new premises, inspections, or insurance requirements.
Is PAT testing a legal requirement?
While PAT testing itself is not specifically named in legislation, UK law requires employers and landlords to ensure electrical equipment is safe. PAT testing is the most widely accepted way to demonstrate compliance with these regulations.
Do you provide PAT testing outside of Dorset?
Yes. In addition to Dorset, we offer PAT testing services across Hampshire, Somerset, and Wiltshire.
How do you ensure equipment is tested correctly?
All testing is carried out by fully trained engineers using calibrated PAT testing equipment. Each appliance is visually inspected, electrically tested where required, and clearly labelled with pass or fail results.
Will PAT testing disrupt my business?
We aim to keep disruption to a minimum. Testing can be scheduled outside peak hours or around your operations to ensure your business continues running smoothly.
How much does PAT testing cost?
The cost depends on the number of appliances, the type of equipment, and the size of the site. We offer clear, competitive pricing with no hidden fees. Contact us for a tailored quote.
