What changes the price of PAT testing
PAT testing starts from £70 an hour. That hour pays for the electrician on site, each appliance checked, and a written list of results at the end of the visit.
- The figure is a starting hourly rate, not a set fee for a whole building.
- A small office with a few kettles finishes faster than a workshop full of tools and chargers.
- Items that fail are taken out of use so they can be repaired or replaced.
