We work through each item methodically to cause minimal disruption to your daily routine. ### Visual examination We inspect the external casing, cable flex, cord grip, and plug pins of every accessible appliance. This visual check catches obvious hazards such as frayed wires, cracked bodies, taped joints, and incorrect fuse ratings. ### Instrument testing Using calibrated test meters, we carry out earth continuity and insulation resistance measurements on portable equipment. These instrument tests verify that internal wiring remains intact and poses no electrical shock hazard. ### Identification tags Every checked unit receives a durable pass or fail tag displaying the test date and reference details. This clear identification helps staff, tenants, and visitors spot which appliances have been verified for ongoing use. ### Handover discussion Before departing, we review the completed equipment register with you and highlight any units that failed testing. We explain why an item did not pass so you can arrange to take it out of rotation or replace it. ## Frequently asked questions about appliance testing ### What is PAT testing? PAT testing is the inspection and electrical checking of portable equipment that plugs into mains sockets, such as kettles, power tools, extension reels, and computers. We inspect the physical parts, test earthing and insulation, and record the results on a written schedule. ### How is portable appliance testing priced? Pricing is based on an hourly labour rate covering the time needed on site to test and tag your appliances. The total cost depends on the number of items and how accessible they are across your rooms. ### What happens if an appliance fails the test? If an appliance fails, we apply a fail tag immediately and inform you on site so the item can be taken out of service. Any repairs or replacements are treated as separate jobs if you wish us to carry out remedial work. ### Do you test appliances in residential properties in Westbourne? Yes. We test portable equipment in domestic homes, garden rooms, workshops, and rental flats throughout Westbourne, West Cliff, and Alum Chine, helping landlords and homeowners verify electrical items. ### Does appliance testing cover my consumer unit or wall sockets? No. Appliance testing covers plug-in portable items only. Fixed electrical installations, including socket outlets, lighting circuits, and consumer units, are evaluated separately through an electrical installation condition report. ## Other services in Westbourne - [Electrician in Westbourne](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/electrician-westbourne): Domestic and suitable commercial electrical repairs, testing and planned work across Westbourne, Alum Chine, West Cliff and BH4. - [PAT testing (all areas)](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/services/pat-testing): PAT testing in Poole from MX2 Electrical.
