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.
PAT 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.
PAT 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.
PAT 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 PAT 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 PAT Testing
One Company for Your Property & Compliance Needs
PAT 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 PAT 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 PAT testing visits and ongoing support.
Frequently asked questions:
WHAT DOES A PAT 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 PAT 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.
