Who Needs PAT Testing in Wigan?
Any Wigan business or landlord using portable electrical appliances should arrange regular PAT testing. This is particularly important for:
- Manufacturing and workshops: Wigan’s remaining manufacturing base relies on portable power tools, test equipment, and industrial appliances. These need annual testing at minimum, with hand-held tools checked quarterly in some environments.
- Warehouses and distribution: the Golborne and East Lancs Road areas host major distribution centres. All portable equipment in these premises — scanners, chargers, heaters, tools — needs testing.
- Pubs and bars: Wigan has a vibrant night-time economy. Portable catering equipment, cellar cooling fans, and entertainment systems all need PAT testing.
- Landlords: the borough has a large rental sector, especially in Leigh and Atherton.
PAT Testing for Wigan’s Hospitality Sector
Wigan’s hospitality businesses — restaurants, cafes, pubs, bars, and hotels — rely on numerous portable electrical appliances. Commercial kitchens use mixers, blenders, food processors, and portable warming equipment. Front-of-house areas have coffee machines, till systems, and entertainment equipment. All of these should be PAT tested annually.
