PAT testing FAQs

Quick answers to common questions

What does a PAT test cover?

Plug-in electrical appliances. It does not test the fixed wiring of the property. That is what an EICR is for.

Which appliances are tested?

The appliances you want tested on the day. That is usually the portable and plug-in equipment at the property.

What happens if an appliance fails?

It is identified in the results, so you can see which items did not pass.

How do I book PAT testing?

Choose it online, check the price, and pick a time. Nobody visits just to give you a quote.

Do I need to be at the property?

Someone needs to provide access for the visit. That can be you, or someone else at the property.

How do I receive the result?

After the visit, it is sent to you digitally.

Can I book more than one property?

Yes. Each visit is booked online. If you look after a portfolio, start with Certworks for Business.

Can I book this with another certificate?

Yes. Book each certificate online. They can be for the same property.
