School PAT testing

Your duty on electrical safety

Schools and nurseries have a duty to keep staff and pupils safe, and a documented PAT testing regime is the recognised way to show that electrical equipment across the site is properly maintained. It is evidence any governor, inspector or insurer will expect to see on file.

We make it simple: a visit built around your timetable, faulty plugs and fuses replaced on site at no extra charge, and a same-day certificate for your records. Need the detail of the process? Read how we carry out PAT testing.

What we test in schools

From the classroom to the kitchen

Classroom AV equipment and chargers, IT suite computers and monitors, staff room kitchen appliances, science lab and food tech equipment, PE department kit, cleaning equipment, portable heaters, and the extension leads that tend to multiply in every classroom. We work with primary and secondary schools, nurseries and other educational settings.

Fits around the school day

Common questions

School PAT testing FAQs

Can you work during term time without disrupting lessons?

Yes. We usually work around inset days, holidays or after the school day, and can cover one department or building at a time if term-time access is needed.

Do you test science lab and food tech equipment?

Yes, portable equipment in science labs, food tech and design technology rooms is tested alongside classroom, office and IT suite equipment.

How often should a school test its equipment?

It depends on the equipment and how it is used, classroom electronics are typically checked every one to two years, while high-use kitchen and workshop equipment may need more frequent testing. We can advise on a sensible schedule.

How much does it cost?

Typical premises start from £125, with a free fixed quote before any visit based on roughly how much equipment you have.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes. A same-day digital certificate and full itemised report for your records.
