PAT testing
the plug-in list
Inspect and test landlord-owned or workplace appliances. Fail the dangerous ones. Leave the fixed installation to the EICR.
Honest scope: There is no universal legal “every 12 months” for every toaster in England. Frequency is risk-based unless your insurer or client specifies one.
Appliances, labelled and listed
We inspect and, where justified, test portable equipment and issue a pass / fail list. Combined visits with an EICR are common on voids.
Guide: PAT testing. Service: PAT testing.
Typical work
- ✓ Furnished-let appliance lists
- ✓ Office, workshop and small industrial PAT
- ✓ Failed-item isolation advice and retest when you replace the kit

Will PAT make an unsatisfactory EICR satisfactory?
No. Different documents, different kit.
Do you test tenant-owned hairdryers?
Not as a default. Say if a workplace rule or inventory requires it.
