Office PAT Testing – Done Properly, with No Hassle

We provide professional, fully compliant PAT Testing for offices across Newcastle, Tyneside and the wider North East. From small offices to multi-floor buildings, we help you meet your legal duties, reduce fire risk and stay inspection-ready — with same-day digital certificates available.

Offices rely heavily on electrical equipment — computers, monitors, printers, kitchen appliances, extension leads and chargers are all in daily use. Over time, wear and damage can increase the risk of electric shock or fire if faults go unnoticed.

As an office manager, facilities manager or responsible person, you have a legal duty to ensure electrical equipment is safe for use. PAT testing is the recognised way to demonstrate that you’ve taken appropriate steps to meet your responsibilities under UK health and safety legislation.

Regular PAT testing helps you:

• Reduce the risk of electrical fires
• Protect staff and visitors
• Demonstrate compliance to insurers and inspectors
• Avoid disruption caused by unexpected failures

Office PAT testing isn’t just about ticking a box. It’s about being able to demonstrate — clearly and confidently — that electrical safety has been handled properly if you’re ever asked by your bosses, insurers or auditors.

That’s why offices choose us.

• Same-day digital reports, so compliance is never left unresolved

• Old PAT labels removed, preventing audit confusion

• Free minor repairs carried out on the spot, including replacement plugs

• Clear, itemised PAT Testing certificates that stand up to scrutiny

• Sensible guidance on retest periods — we don’t oversell testing

• Minimal disruption to staff, with engineers used to office environment

If you’re responsible for an office, PAT testing is only a small part of your responsibilities — but if it’s not done properly, it quickly becomes a bigger problem.

We regularly work with office managers and facilities teams who are concerned about:

• Whether their documentation will stand up to an audit

• Being questioned by insurers after an incident

• Interrupting staff or daily operations

• Choosing a contractor who “cuts corners”

• Being oversold unnecessary testing

• By the server being turned off!

Our role is to remove those concerns — not create new ones. You don’t have to worry about any of those when you work with us.

When you book office PAT testing with us, everything you need for compliance is included — with no hidden extras.

✔ Full visual inspection of every appliance
✔ Electrical safety testing where required
✔ Free replacement of standard plugs & fuses
✔ Clear pass / fail labels with unique ID numbers
✔ Fully itemised digital PAT Testing Certificate (PDF)
✔ Same-day reports available (subject to availability)
✔ Practical advice on retest periods and improvements

We test all typical office equipment including:

• PCs, monitors and docking stations
• Laptop chargers and power supplies
• Printers, photocopiers and shredders
• Kitchen appliances (kettles, microwaves, fridges)
• Extension leads and adaptors

There is no single legal interval for PAT testing — instead, testing frequency should be based on risk. In office environments, this is usually determined by how equipment is used, how often it’s moved, and the likelihood of damage.

As a general guide:

• Fixed office equipment: every 2–4 years
• Portable and frequently moved/used items: annually
• Extension leads and adaptors: annually

We can attend your office before the job, to discuss your situation and make recommendations for retest periods, but if you don’t need annual tests then we can work with you on that to ensure your office maintains safety standards. Our engineers can also assess your workplace and advise on sensible, compliant retest periods — we won’t oversell unnecessary testing.

If you choose your own retest period please ensure you have appropriate risk assessments in place to support the frequency. We regularly support offices, business centres and commercial premises who need reliable, no-nonsense electrical compliance.

We understand that offices often need documentation quickly — whether for an insurer, audit, landlord, or health and safety inspection.

Where scheduling allows, we can issue your PAT Testing Certificate on the same day as testing. Reports are sent as a PDF by email, so they’re easy to store and share.

For new clients, payment is required before same-day certificates are released. This helps us keep prices fair for all customers and reduce the risk of non-payment.
Same-day service is subject to availability, so please let us know if you need this when booking.

If you like we can visit your office before doing the job to discuss the logistics, your unique situation, retest periods, etc.
