The basics

What is PAT Testing?

PAT Testing — Portable Appliance Testing — is the process of checking electrical appliances to make sure they're safe to use. A qualified engineer inspects and tests each item, checking for faults that could cause electric shock, fire, or injury.

While PAT testing isn't always a legal requirement, it's strongly recommended for landlords, businesses, and anyone responsible for electrical equipment used by others. Many insurers and local authorities require it as standard. We cover Westhoughton, Bolton, Wigan, Leigh, Chorley, Salford and the wider Greater Manchester area.

Who needs PAT Testing?

Landlords

Rental properties must have safe electrical appliances. PAT testing protects your tenants and gives you peace of mind — and documentation if anything is ever questioned.

Businesses & offices

Employers have a duty of care to ensure all electrical equipment in the workplace is safe. Regular PAT testing helps you meet Health & Safety obligations.

Schools & community spaces

Any venue used by the public or groups — from village halls to nurseries — should have appliances regularly tested and certified.
