PAT testing questions, answered
The things customers ask most often, about the law, the cost and what actually happens on the day.
Is PAT testing a legal requirement in Scotland?
There is no law that names PAT testing directly. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 do require you to maintain electrical equipment so that it does not cause danger, and the Health and Safety at Work Act places a duty of care on employers. PAT testing is the recognised way to show you have met those duties, which is why insurers, licensing boards and landlord registration schemes ask for the certificates.
How often should appliances be tested?
It depends on the equipment and the environment rather than a fixed calendar. Handheld equipment on a building site may need testing every three to six months, while a computer in an office may be fine at two to four years. We advise on the right interval for your premises as part of the quote, following the IET Code of Practice.
How much does PAT testing cost?
Business and commercial testing starts from £75 per visit, and landlord packages start at £55 for a studio or one bedroom property with up to 10 appliances. You get the full figure in writing before anything is booked, with no call-out charges added afterwards.
Do landlords in Scotland need PAT testing?
Yes, in practice. Private landlords in Scotland must arrange an electrical safety inspection at least every five years, and that includes portable appliance testing on any appliances the landlord supplies. HMO licensing conditions are often stricter, so check the requirement with your local council.
How long does a PAT test take?
Most small business and landlord visits are finished within a couple of hours. Larger sites are quoted with a time estimate up front. We work around your opening hours where we can, including early mornings and evenings, so trading is not disrupted.
What happens if an appliance fails?
We label it, take it out of service and tell you there and then, along with what is wrong. Some failures are a simple fix such as a fuse or a damaged lead, which we can often sort on the spot. Everything, pass or fail, appears on your digital certificate.
Which areas do you cover?
We are based in the Glasgow area and cover the whole of the west of Scotland as standard, including Paisley, East Kilbride, Hamilton, Motherwell, Coatbridge, Clydebank and Cumbernauld. We also travel across the rest of Scotland, including Edinburgh, Stirling, Dundee, Perth and Aberdeen, for larger and multi-site contracts.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. You get a digital certificate after every visit, listing every appliance tested, its result and the date of the next recommended test. It is emailed to you, so it is easy to forward to an insurer, a licensing officer or a letting agent.
