Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is PAT testing legally required?
PAT testing is not explicitly named in UK law, but the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 place a strict duty on businesses and landlords to keep equipment safe. Portable appliance testing is the recognized best-practice route to prove you have taken suitable precautions.
Q. How often should items be PAT tested?
This is determined by environmental wear. Low-risk items like office PCs might require testing every 2 to 4 years, while high-wear tools, retail displays, and commercial kitchen supplies require testing every 6 to 12 months.
Q. Do landlords of HMOs need PAT testing?
Yes. Local housing authorities and commercial insurers require landlords to verify and label all supplied consumer goods within let properties and HMOs regularly.
Q. How long does PAT testing take?
A standard small office or HMO takes just 2 to 3 hours. We carry out larger sites off-peak or out-of-hours to prevent any trading disruption.
