PAT Testing for Offices, Commercial Premises, and Small Businesses

PAT Testing for offices is a key part of ensuring a safe working environment. Whether you're running a busy commercial office or a small business, all portable electrical appliances must be regularly tested and inspected to comply with UK workplace safety laws.

Our PAT Testing service helps you stay compliant while keeping costs low and minimising disruption to your daily operations.

Why Do Offices and Commercial Spaces Need PAT Testing?

PAT Testing is the process of checking that electrical equipment is safe to use. Most appliances found in offices—such as laptops, kettles, monitors, and extension leads—are portable and require inspection.

According to UK Health and Safety regulations, these items must undergo a formal visual check and electrical test, usually every 12 months. However, some high-usage equipment like laptops or printers may need more frequent testing depending on use.

PAT Testing helps reduce fire and electric shock risks. It’s also an essential part of Health and Safety compliance for your office, helping you avoid potential fines or issues during inspections.

What is the Duration of PAT Testing?

On average, our engineers test between 150 to 200 items a day. For a small business or compact commercial office, testing can typically be completed within a few hours.

Larger sites with multiple floors or departments may require a full day or more. We work closely with your team to schedule testing at a time that causes the least disruption—whether that’s during the workday or after hours.

PAT Testing and Workplace Safety

Faulty appliances are a hidden danger in the workplace. Even small electrical faults can lead to injury, fire, or costly damage. PAT Testing helps identify issues before they become a problem.

In a modern office, there are dozens of electrical devices in daily use—from printers to phone chargers. Each item tested and recorded helps reduce your risk and shows you’ve met your duty of care as an employer.
