About

GL PAT Testing puts the customer first by working during times that minimise disruption to you. We can carry out PAT testing early in the morning, in the evening and we also work over the weekend. All of our engineers are qualified to City and Guilds 2377-773, and are DBS checked.
We do not charge extra for small repairs such as fuses and plugs. If we find them to be faulty, they are replaced as part of the service.
If you are an educational establishment, we usually carry out Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) during the school holidays, creating the least amount of disruption for students, teaching staff and office staff.
We work closely with Estate Agents and Landlords to ensure properties are tested at the most convenient times. We collect the keys from the Agent or Landlord, carry out the PAT test then provide the results and certificate via email. We can also set you up for an email reminder for when your current PAT certificate is due to expire.
We work with businesses of all sizes and carry out PAT testing to comply with the Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment 5th edition requirements.

F.A.Q

Portable appliance testing (PAT) is the term used to describe the examination of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure they are safe to use. Most electrical safety defects can be found by visual examination but some types of defect can only be found by testing. However, it is essential to understand that visual examination is an essential part of the process because some types of electrical safety defect can't be detected by testing alone.
A relatively brief user check (based upon simple training and perhaps assisted by the use of a brief checklist) can be a very useful part of any electrical maintenance regime. However, more formal visual inspection and testing by a competent person may also be required at appropriate intervals, depending upon the type of equipment and the environment in which it is used.

The frequency of inspection and testing depends upon the type of equipment and the environment it is used in. For example, a power tool used on a construction site should be examined more frequently than a lamp in a hotel room.
New equipment should be supplied in a safe condition and not require a formal portable appliance inspection or test. However, a simple visual check is recommended to verify that the item is not damaged.
