PAT Testing Services

Q: How long does PAT testing take?

The time required depends on the number of appliances. A small office can usually be completed within a couple of hours, while larger commercial or industrial premises may require a full day.

Q: Is PAT testing a legal requirement?

PAT testing itself is not a legal requirement by name, but UK health and safety legislation requires employers and duty holders to ensure electrical equipment is safe to use and properly maintained.

Q: How often does PAT testing need to be carried out?

The frequency depends on the type of equipment and the level of risk. Office equipment is commonly tested annually, while construction sites and high-risk environments may require testing every three months.

Q: Do you provide certification after testing?

Yes. Every appliance receives a pass or fail result, and we provide a comprehensive PAT Testing Certificate along with a detailed asset register for your compliance records.

Q: What types of appliances and equipment do you test?

We test all portable electrical appliances, including office equipment, kettles, computers, monitors, extension leads, power tools, kitchen appliances, and industrial machinery.

Q: Can PAT testing be combined with other electrical safety checks?

Yes. We can combine PAT testing with services such as Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs), fire alarm inspections, and other electrical safety checks during the same visit for greater convenience.

Commercial PAT Testing You Can Rely On

Most electrical accidents at work don’t start with the wiring in the walls, they start with the kettle in the break room, the extension lead under a desk, or the heater someone brought in from home. That’s exactly what a PAT testing service is built to catch. Greener Amps checks every plug, lead and appliance on your premises and tells you, in writing, whether it’s safe to keep using.

We’re not a one-man operator who tests in a rush and leaves. As a qualified electrical contracting business with over a decade of hands-on experience, we treat PAT testing the way we treat any other electrical safety testing service, properly inspected, properly recorded, and backed by an electrician who can actually fix what we find.

OUR SERVICES

What we do

PAT Testing for Every Type of Workplace

No two premises use electrical equipment the same way, so our portable appliance testing service is built around the type of site, not a one-size-fits-all visit.

Office & Business PAT Testing

From the kettle in the kitchen to the monitors on every desk, our office PAT testing service covers all the day to day appliances staff rely on. It's quick, low-disruption, and exactly what most business PAT testing service clients need to satisfy their insurance and health and safety obligations.

Commercial & Industrial PAT Testing

Shops, gyms, salons, and production sites all carry their own risks. Our commercial PAT testing service and industrial PAT testing service are scoped around the equipment actually in use from till systems and hairdryers to heavier machinery and power tools, with testing intervals matched to how hard that equipment works.

Warehouse & Site PAT Testing

Forklift chargers, power tools, extension leads and portable lighting all take a battering on a working site. Our warehouse PAT testing service is built for that environment, with more frequent workplace PAT testing recommended wherever equipment is exposed to knocks, dust or damp.

Why Choose Greener Amps for PAT Testing?

A missed PAT test doesn’t announce itself. It sits quietly until an insurer asks for proof, a fire inspector asks a question you can’t answer, or a frayed cable finally gives out. At Greener Amps, we test every item properly the first time, so you’re never caught out.

Qualified, Experienced Engineers
Our testers aren’t agency staff brought in for the day. They’re part of a trade electrical business with years of experience working on live commercial and industrial sites, so they know what a genuinely faulty appliance looks like.

Full Visual & Electrical Checks
A sticker on a plug means nothing on its own. We carry out a proper visual inspection alongside electrical testing with calibrated pat testing equipment, catching damage a quick glance would miss.

Clear Certification, Every Time
Every appliance gets a pass or fail result, logged against an asset register and backed by a certificate. No vague paperwork just a record you can hand to an insurer, landlord or auditor without a second thought.

Testing Built Around Your Business
Whether it’s an office that can’t stop for the day or a site that only allows access out of hours, we fit testing around you, with reminders sent ahead of your next renewal date.

Greater Manchester & Beyond
Based in Didsbury, we carry out PAT testing across Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, Lancashire and Liverpool, making us a genuinely local PAT testing company rather than a call center booking you in from somewhere else.
