WhatsAppWhat equipment is included in commercial PAT testing?
PAT testing covers movable and plug-in electrical gear used by staff and visitors. This includes desktop computers, monitors, kettle units, microwaves, hand tools, extension reels and industrial battery chargers.
Does PAT testing replace the commercial EICR for our building?
No. PAT testing applies strictly to portable and plug-in appliances. An Electrical Installation Condition Report assesses the permanent wiring, distribution boards, sub-mains and fixed electrical infrastructure of your property.
Can testing be carried out outside normal operational hours?
Yes. We can undertake appliance testing outside your normal trading hours so that office staff and operational bays are not interrupted. The out-of-hours rate is agreed in advance before we set off.
What happens if an appliance fails its electrical test?
Any item failing visual checks or meter readings is marked clearly with a fail label and highlighted to your site coordinator. Appliance repairs, replacement flexes or new plugs are priced separately off the report.
Which Southampton commercial areas do you cover for PAT testing?
We attend commercial premises across all Southampton postal sectors including SO14, SO15, SO16, SO17, SO18 and SO19. This includes Millbrook, Nursling, Western Docks, Empress Road, Northam, Ocean Village and the city centre.
