Local PAT/ EET testing for Taunton businesses, landlords and property owners.
Local PAT/ EET testing in Taunton for businesses, landlords and property owners
Hardwick Sherwood provides professional PAT/EET testing throughout Taunton and the surrounding Somerset area, supporting businesses, landlords, property managers and accommodation providers. From offices, shops and commercial premises to communal buildings, rental properties, holiday accommodation and serviced accommodation, we provide convenient and reliable testing with minimal disruption.
With our team covering Taunton and the wider Somerset area, we're ideally placed to provide PAT testing throughout Taunton town centre, Blackbrook, Priorswood, Galmington, Trull and the surrounding towns, villages and commercial areas.
Whether you require a one-off PAT/EET testing visit, testing across multiple properties or sites, or would like us to manage your ongoing PAT/ EET testing requirements, we can tailor the service around your premises and the number of appliances requiring testing, helping you keep your electrical equipment properly checked and documented.
PAT Testing is now Electrical Equipment Testing (EET)
You may have noticed the term Electrical Equipment Testing (EET) being used more frequently in place of Portable Appliance Testing (PAT).
This reflects modern guidance and recognises that electrical safety checks aren't limited to appliances that are simply “portable”.
For customers, the change is mainly one of terminology rather than a completely new type of service. EET involves appropriate inspection and testing of electrical equipment to help identify damage, defects or other safety concerns. You'll still commonly hear the familiar term PAT testing, which is why we use both terms across our website.
At Hardwick Sherwood Ltd, our PAT / EET testing service provides customers with clear test results and records, helping businesses, landlords and property managers manage the safety of electrical equipment within their premises.
Whether you have a small office with a handful of appliances or require testing across a larger property or portfolio, we can arrange a service tailored to your requirements.
EET Testing for Businesses & Commercial Properties
Electrical equipment can be inspected and tested as part of a planned visit, helping businesses maintain appropriate electrical safety procedures and records while minimising disruption to normal operations.
For existing Hardwick Sherwood Ltd facilities management clients, PAT testing can also be incorporated into your wider programme of property, compliance and scheduled site checks.
EET Testing for Landlords & Rental Properties
Our service is also available to landlords, letting agents, HMO operators and property managers who require electrical appliances provided within their properties to be inspected and tested.
We can attend individual properties or discuss scheduled testing across multiple properties within a portfolio.
EET Testing for Serviced Accommodation & Airbnb Properties
As serviced accommodation operators ourselves, we understand how much electrical equipment can be found in a modern short-term rental.
From kettles and toasters to televisions, lamps, hairdryers and other guest appliances, Hardwick Sherwood Ltd can provide PAT testing as part of the ongoing management and maintenance of your serviced accommodation.
This can be particularly useful for owners who live outside the area and want a reliable local company to help look after their property.
What Our EET Testing Service Includes
Depending on the type of equipment and agreed service, our PAT testing can include:
- Visual inspection of electrical appliances, plugs, cables and leads
- Appropriate electrical testing
- Identification and labelling of tested equipment
- Recording of test results
- Identification of appliances that fail inspection or testing
- Clear reporting of defects requiring attention
- PAT testing for multiple appliances, properties or sites
- Integration with scheduled facilities-management visits where appropriate
We're More Than Just EET Testing
One Company for Your Property & Compliance Needs
EET testing can form part of a wider Hardwick Sherwood Ltd facilities management package.
Alongside electrical appliance testing, we can support clients with routine property inspections, compliance and site checks, communal cleaning, commercial cleaning, maintenance and defect reporting.
This gives landlords and businesses the option of using one local company for multiple aspects of their property's ongoing care.
Hardwick Sherwood Ltd provides EET testing for clients throughout Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, Bristol and surrounding areas.
We work with businesses, landlords, letting agents, property managers and serviced accommodation operators, offering both one-off EET testing visits and ongoing support.
Frequently asked questions:
WHAT DOES A EET TEST CONSIST OF?
A visual inspection checking for:
- Damaged flexes
- Damaged plugs and equipment (overheating, burn marks, discolouration)
- Correctly wired plugs
- Correctly rated fuse
A series of tests: (depending on the class of equipment)
- Earth continuity testing
- Insulation resistance
- Polarity test
- Earth leakage test
WHAT IS CLASSED AS A PORTABLE APPLIANCE?
A portable appliance is any equipment which is powered between 40 and 240 volts and which is connected to the electrical mains through a plug, usually 13 amp, but we are also able to test both 110 volt and 240 volt wet weather equipment.
DOES EET TESTING AFFECT OUR INSURANCE COVER?
Insurance companies assume that when giving insurance cover to a business, the owners of that business are complying with all regulations necessary. An insurance company may reduce, delay or even refuse to pay on a claim for damage if an appliance that has not been tested has caused the damage.
HOW LONG WILL THE TESTING TAKE?
We complete between 10 and 15 electrical tests per hour, this is dependant on access and availability of the items.
WILL THE TESTING BE DISRUPTIVE?
During portable appliance testing we try to minimise any disruption by only disconnecting items as we test them. We can work outside of business hours or at weekends if this helps.
