Portable Appliance Safety Checks Across Birmingham Workplaces
Portable appliance testing examines the electrical safety of movable equipment like computers, kettles, power tools, and extension leads used in your Birmingham workplace or rental property. Unlike fixed installation EICRs that check permanent wiring behind walls, PAT testing focuses on the flexible cables, plugs, and equipment your staff or tenants handle daily. You'll receive detailed labelling and certification proving every tested appliance meets safety standards, protecting you from workplace accidents and ensuring compliance with Health and Safety Executive guidelines across offices, workshops, and commercial premises throughout the West Midlands.

Complete pat testing services Process
Equipment Inventory and Tagging
We catalogue every portable appliance across your Birmingham premises, assigning unique identification numbers and creating a comprehensive asset register for ongoing compliance tracking and future test scheduling.
Visual Inspection and Damage Assessment
Our technicians examine each appliance for visible damage including frayed cables, cracked plugs, loose connections, and signs of overheating or misuse that could compromise electrical safety before formal testing begins.
Earth Continuity and Insulation Testing
Using calibrated PAT testing equipment, we measure earth bond resistance and insulation integrity between live parts and exposed metalwork, ensuring every appliance meets safety thresholds for continued workplace use.
Load and Polarity Verification
We test appliances under operational load conditions, verify correct polarity, check fuse ratings, and measure earth leakage current to confirm safe performance during normal working conditions across your premises.
Pass/Fail Labelling and Documentation
Each tested item receives a colour-coded PAT label showing test date, next due date, and pass/fail status. Failed appliances are clearly marked and removed from service to prevent accidental use by staff.
Certification and Asset Register Delivery
You receive comprehensive PAT testing certificates, detailed asset registers with test results, and recommendations for retest intervals based on equipment type and workplace environment, ensuring ongoing HSE compliance.
You'll prevent workplace injuries from faulty equipment whilst demonstrating due diligence to insurers and HSE inspectors who expect documented proof of regular safety checks. Landlords benefit from clear evidence that provided appliances meet legal requirements, avoiding disputes with tenants in Selly Oak, Harborne, and Kings Heath over electrical safety responsibilities. Businesses across Birmingham gain peace of mind knowing their staff aren't using damaged leads or compromised equipment that could cause fires, electric shocks, or costly downtime when something fails unexpectedly during critical operations.

Appliance Testing Costs for Birmingham Properties
Most Birmingham businesses pay between £1.50 and £3.50 per item for standard PAT testing, with typical office environments of 50-100 appliances costing £100-£250 for annual checks. Larger commercial premises with workshops, kitchens, or multiple floors see higher totals due to equipment volume and testing complexity, whilst smaller rental properties with just a fridge, washing machine, and microwave often pay under £50. We provide transparent per-item pricing with no callout fees for properties across Edgbaston, Moseley, and Stirchley, so you know exactly what you're paying before we arrive.

Amira Patel
Café Owner in Stirchley
“Needed PAT testing for our Stirchley café before the council inspection. They turned up on time, tested 47 appliances in under two hours, and left everything labelled with those colour-coded stickers showing when the next test is due. Got the certificate emailed same day which saved us from any compliance hassles.”
