“Fantastic service from Innes. Hired to fit a new extractor fan in the bathroom. He walked me through the options available and what he would recommend. On the install day he arrived on time and did a very professional install in the loft.”

FAQs

Common Questions

Can't find your answer? Give us a call on 07940 071963.

The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require employers to maintain electrical equipment in a safe condition — PAT testing is the most practical way to demonstrate this. While the regulations don't specify PAT testing by name, it is the accepted standard across Edinburgh and the UK. Insurance policies also commonly require evidence of regular testing.

Frequency depends on the environment and appliance type. High-risk environments like construction sites require more frequent testing (often every 3 months for handheld tools). Office equipment is typically tested annually. Edinburgh landlords should test appliances in rental properties between tenancies or annually. We'll advise the right frequency for your situation.

PAT testing involves a visual inspection of the appliance, lead and plug, followed by electrical tests using a calibrated PAT tester — including earth continuity, insulation resistance and functional checks. Each appliance receives a pass or fail result and a labelled sticker with the test date and next due date.

Yes — we offer early morning, evening and weekend PAT testing slots for Edinburgh businesses that can't close during normal hours. This is particularly popular for Edinburgh hospitality venues, retail units and offices where downtime needs to be minimised.

Yes — Edinburgh landlords should ensure all electrical appliances provided in rental properties are safe. We carry out PAT testing for landlords between tenancies or on annual schedules, providing full documentation that demonstrates your duty of care to tenants and compliance for insurance purposes.
