Pat Testing Surrey

As more and more electrical appliances are being created to help make daily living easier and more convenient, every household and workplace has more electrical appliances that are relied on every single day. Due to this, electrical safety has never been more important than ever before to prevent dangerous electrical hazards and an overloaded circuit. A huge part of maintaining electrical safety is PAT testing, which is carried out for all kinds of electrical appliances. This service is more important for commercial properties so that they adhere to strict regulations and prevent any hazards from happening to keep everyone safe at all times. However, domestic buildings can also benefit from having appliances PAT tested. It can provide homeowners with peace of mind that their electricals are safe and sound. Every type of appliance should be tested to determine that it works safely and efficiently.

What is PAT Testing?

A PAT test is a way to check that electrical appliances are safe and not at risk of becoming hazardous. It's a test that's more commonly associated with commercial properties rather than domestic buildings. However, all properties should have this testing done to maintain the safety of their electricals and protect people from electrical issues that cause a lot of damage, with some even being life-threatening.

PAT translates to Portable Appliance Testing and is a routine inspection for all kinds of electrical appliances and equipment that are in a property. It's a vital test for workplaces and public environments to have, as it determines whether the equipment is safe to use. At Pullinger, we believe that every property should get this test done to bring safety for everyone, especially if a home is rented and needs to adhere to the latest safety regulations.

The Importance of Having PAT Testing

Getting your appliances PAT tested, whether for your workplace or your home, is very important to keep everyone safe from electrical harm. Even though this testing isn't a legal requirement in the UK, it's still necessary to have it done to prevent hazards. This is especially vital for businesses as PAT tests are a way for them to comply with legal requirements under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. Employers must ensure that all electrical equipment in the workplace is safe for everyday use, and PAT testing does this in a structured manner. If businesses don't get this test done, they can have unsafe equipment that puts everyone at risk of dangers and accidents, which leads to serious consequences and penalties.

Domestic properties can also hugely benefit from this safety test to prevent hazards and ensure everyone is safe every single day. It's especially important for landlords renting their property because it's their duty to keep everyone safe.

Our Surrey PAT testing services involve both visual and electrical inspections to ensure everything's in working order and completely safe. We assess the safety of every appliance in your property using this mixed approach, conducting visual tests that aim to spot any visible signs of damage, such as cracks, scorch marks and dents. After the visual assessment, our team will carry out the electrical testing process using specialised PAT devices to detect defects from within that aren't visible. This can be earth continuity, earth resistance and safety switch tests to make sure that devices are working properly and safely.
