Professional PAT Testing Across Derbyshire
Portable appliance testing for offices, workshops, hotels, rental properties, holiday lets and every kind of business, with a same-day certificate on every job.
What is PAT testing?
PAT testing (portable appliance testing) is the process of checking electrical appliances to make sure they are safe to use. It involves a visual inspection and a series of electrical tests using calibrated equipment. Every appliance that passes can receive a dated sticker, and you get a full certificate listing every item tested.
Who needs PAT testing?
If you are an employer, a landlord, or you run any kind of business premises, you have a duty to make sure electrical equipment is safe. PAT testing is the standard way to demonstrate this. It applies to any workplace, from offices and shops to workshops, hotels, holiday lets and construction sites.

We visit when it suits you
We test every portable appliance, label each one if required, and work around your day. Most jobs are done within a couple of hours.
Same-day certificate
You receive your certificate the same day, with a full asset register listing every appliance, its location, results and pass/fail status, the document insurers and auditors ask for.
On-site fixes
Faulty plugs and fuses are replaced on site at no extra charge, so minor faults don't mean a return visit.
How often should you PAT test?
Testing frequency depends on the type of equipment and the environment it is used in. As a general guide, offices typically need testing every one to two years, hotels and holiday lets every one to two years, and higher-risk environments like workshops and construction sites every six to twelve months. We never recommend leaving it longer than two years. We will advise you on the right schedule for your situation. For landlords, holiday lets, care homes and schools specifically, see our landlord PAT testing, holiday let PAT testing, care home PAT testing and school PAT testing pages.
