PAT testing
PAT testing, or portable appliance testing, checks plug-in equipment rather than fixed wiring and is priced per item or per visit. PAT testing is carried out nationally by electricians, with businesses concentrated in London and smaller groups in Birmingham, Eastleigh, Loughton and Bristol.

Why people have it done
- Plug-in equipment is checked and labelled item by item, which fixed-wiring testing does not cover.
- A record of what was tested, and when, exists for an insurer or an employer to read.
