Looking for trusted PAT Testing in Chelsea? TNS Electrical Solutions provides efficient and reliable Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) for businesses, landlords, and property owners. Our skilled team ensures each device is tested to meet safety and compliance standards, helping you fulfil legal obligations with confidence.
What is PAT Testing?
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) checks the safety of portable electrical devices, ensuring they pose no risk of electrical shock or fire. By testing all plug-in appliances, PAT Testing helps prevent electrical hazards in workplaces and rental properties, creating a safer environment for everyone.
Who Needs PAT Testing in Chelsea?
PAT Testing is essential for businesses, landlords, and property managers who want to comply with safety regulations and ensure the well-being of employees, tenants, and customers. Whether for an office, rented home, or retail space, regular PAT Testing supports safe use of everyday electrical equipment.
Regulations for PAT Testing
Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations, there is a legal duty to keep electrical equipment in safe condition. PAT Testing meets these standards, verifying that all appliances are fit for use, reducing the risk of accidents, and satisfying insurance requirements.
Benefits of Regular PAT Testing
Regular PAT Testing provides several advantages beyond compliance, including:
Enhanced Safety: Prevents electrical shocks, fires, and other hazards caused by faulty equipment.
Insurance Compliance: Many insurers require PAT Testing for claim validity.
Extended Equipment Life: Regular testing can identify issues early, helping maintain the equipment’s lifespan.
Reduced Liability: Protects landlords, employers, and property managers by demonstrating a commitment to safety standards.
What’s Included in Our PAT Testing Service
Our PAT Testing service includes a thorough inspection and testing process:
Visual Inspection: A check for visible damage, such as frayed cables, cracked plugs, or scorch marks.
In-depth Testing: Using specialist equipment, we ensure each appliance meets safety standards.
Functionality Check: After testing, we confirm each item is operational and safe to use.
This comprehensive process ensures all devices are safe for everyday use.
Types of Equipment We Test
Our PAT Testing covers a broad range of appliances, including:
Office Equipment: Computers, printers, monitors, and more.
Kitchen Appliances: Toasters, kettles, microwaves.
Tools and Extension Leads: Cordless power tools, multi-socket adapters, etc.
Entertainment Devices: Audio systems, projectors, and other electronic devices.
If it has a plug, it should be PAT tested to ensure safety.
How Often Should PAT Testing Be Done?
The frequency of PAT Testing depends on the environment and type of equipment. High-usage environments or areas with public access, like hotels or offices, benefit from more frequent checks. We can provide guidance on the best testing schedule to keep your appliances compliant and safe.
Fixed Appliance Testing in Chelsea
Alongside PAT Testing, we also provide Fixed Appliance Testing for permanently installed devices like boilers, air conditioning units, and hand dryers. Fixed appliances require regular safety checks as they are subject to wear and tear over time. This testing helps identify hidden faults, ensuring every fixed device operates safely within your premises.

Initial Visual Inspection: We examine the external condition of each appliance, looking for visible faults.
Detailed Testing: Using professional PAT Testing equipment, we measure the electrical safety of each device.
Functionality Check: After testing, we ensure that the appliance works as expected.
Report and Labelling: Each tested item receives a safety label, and you’ll get a comprehensive report, ensuring full documentation for your records.
This approach gives you complete assurance that all appliances have been tested to meet safety standards.
