How much does Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) cost?
PAT testing costs depend on the number of appliances and the service you need. See Certworks’ prices and what to look for in a thorough inspection.
How much does Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) cost?
The cost of Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) depends mainly on how many appliances you need to test. It is also worth checking what the service includes. A PAT test should involve more than putting a sticker on an appliance.
At Certworks, our PAT testing prices start at £69 + VAT per property and include up to 10 tests. Each additional test costs £1.50 + VAT.
Certworks PAT testing prices
- Up to 10 tests: £69 + VAT
- Each additional test: £1.50 + VAT
- Microwave emissions test: £9 + VAT
- Repair to a plug, flex or extension lead: £9 + VAT
For example, a visit covering 20 tests would cost £84 + VAT. A visit covering 50 tests would cost £129 + VAT.
Each socket on a multi-socket extension lead is counted as a separate test. So a four-socket extension lead counts as four tests.
These are Certworks’ prices. The cost from another provider may differ, so check what is included when comparing quotes.
What should a PAT testing service include?
The price is one part of the service. You should also know what happens during the visit and what records you will receive afterwards.
A thorough PAT testing service includes a visual inspection of each appliance, followed by appropriate testing. The results should be recorded, and each item should be clearly labelled as passed or failed. If an appliance fails, you should be told which item it was and what the result means.
At Certworks, we record the results and provide labels showing whether each appliance passed or failed. We issue a test certificate detailing the results once payment has been received. If payment is made on the day of testing, we provide the certificate that same day.
