If you’re a small business, chances are, Portable
Appliance Testing isn’t at the top of your agenda.
Luckily, it’s at the top of our agenda.
Because as your local PAT testing company, we know how vital it is to protect your staff, tenants or clients from any electrical mishaps. Otherwise you could find your business going up in smoke – in more ways than one.
As a landlord, you have a duty to prevent harm to your tenants from electrical appliances that you supply. Portable appliance testing is widely regarded as being the best way of complying with this obligation. Without a programme of planned appliance testing and maintenance, you could be legally liable for damages resulting from your untested appliances. This covers all portable appliances that you supply, including fridges and freezers, microwave ovens (see microwave testing), televisions and vacuum cleaners.
The regulations on electrical appliances for landlords and/or letting agents
The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994, mandatory since 1 January 1997, state that all electrical appliances supplied with let accommodation must be safe. This applies to both new and second-hand appliances and covers all electrical items supplied for the intended use of the Tenant. The only sure method of ensuring that these appliances are safe is to have them tested by a trained competent person using the appropriate calibrated portable appliance testing equipment.
At PAT 2377, we carry out Portable Appliance Testing for landlords and small businesses throughout South Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, North Yorkshire, East Yorkshire and West Yorkshire.
Some of the businesses we work with include Schools, Doctors’ Surgeries, Beauty Salons, B&Bs, Restaurants, Shops and Offices. So we understand that having your electrical appliances tested during a busy working day can be a bit, well, inconvenient.
Which is why we offer a completely flexible service which works around you – so you don’t have to work around us.
We’re a small PAT Testing company, but we think that’s a good thing. Because it means we’re flexible, friendly and efficient. And we can give you really competitive prices too.
