PAT testing across Broadstone
We serve Broadstone from our base in Poole.
What happens on the day
We manage every stage of the inspection on site, from the initial inventory review through each testing step to the final documentation handover.
- Visual inspection of plugs, flexes, and casingsBefore connecting testing instruments, we examine the exterior of each appliance. We look for cracked plugs, stripped cable outer sheathing, bent pins, heat discoloration, correct fuse ratings, and secure cable grips to catch physical damage immediately.
- Electrical testing with calibrated instrumentsEach portable item is connected to our test meter to assess protective earth continuity on grounded Class I equipment and insulation resistance on Class II double-insulated items. We also measure polarity on extension leads to confirm wiring is sound.
- Appliance tagging and record generationEvery tested appliance receives a durable sticker indicating whether it passed or failed. We maintain a log containing appliance descriptions, locations, test readings, and the overall status for easy review and record keeping.

WhatsAppWhat is PAT testing?
PAT testing stands for portable appliance testing. It involves a systematic visual inspection and instrumental electrical test of plug-in electrical items, including kettles, power tools, desk fans, extension leads, and computers, to check that they remain safe to handle and use.
How is the cost of PAT testing calculated?
Our pricing is based on the time spent on site carrying out the visual checks and instrument tests, determined by our standard hourly labour rate. The overall total reflects the quantity of appliances tested and how readily accessible the equipment is across the property.
What happens if an appliance fails its test?
When an item fails due to cable damage, casing cracks, failed earthing, or low insulation resistance, we mark it with a fail tag and inform you right away. The item is taken out of service so it cannot present a danger. Any repairs or fuse replacements are quoted separately.
Do you test appliances in commercial premises as well as domestic lets?
Yes. We carry out portable appliance testing in offices, retail shops, workshops, domestic households, and rental accommodation throughout Broadstone and surrounding areas. The testing procedure checks both Class I grounded appliances and Class II double-insulated equipment.
Are calls answered outside standard business hours?
Yes. Our phone line is answered at any time, day or night. While inspections and testing visits are scheduled during normal working times, you can get in touch around the clock to enquire about availability or Book Now.
