If you have never had PAT testing done before, here is a step-by-step guide to what happens.
Step 1: Arrival and Walkthrough
We arrive at the agreed time and do a quick walkthrough to identify all areas where appliances are located.
Step 2: Testing Begins
We work systematically through each room. Each appliance is visually inspected, electronically tested, labelled, and logged.
Step 3: During Testing
Each appliance needs to be briefly unplugged (30–60 seconds). We work quickly to minimise disruption.
Step 4: Failed Appliances
If anything fails, we explain the fault clearly and advise on repair or replacement options.
Step 5: Certificate
You receive a digital certificate by email listing every appliance tested and the results.
How Long Does It Take?
- Up to 20 appliances: 30–45 minutes
- 20–50 appliances: 1–2 hours
- 50–100 appliances: 2–3 hours
Book your PAT test and we will confirm the expected duration for your premises.
