Electrical testing is a necessary and important part of electrical maintenance for commercial enterprises that protects the workforce and keeps the company legally compliant with various health and safety laws.

Our team provide a full scope of electrical testing in Stoke on Trent and the surrounding areas, so whatever your requirements, we can carry out testing, make recommendations and improve safety at your premises.
PAT Testing
Portable appliance testing is one of the most commonly required forms of electrical testing in Stoke on Trent as absolutely every business has some sort of ‘portable appliance’. This includes computers, printers, laptops, phone chargers and telephones – essentially anything that plugs into or hooks up to mains electricity. PAT testing ensures that the wiring in these devices is safe, that the voltage is correct, and that the device is safe for use by employees. PAT testing is required as a minimum every 3 years, but some appliances may require more frequent testing.
Fixed Wiring Testing
We can also provide fixed wiring electrical testing in Stoke on Trent, which assesses the premises network of electricity and takes into consideration the mains source, sockets and wiring throughout the building. Using specialist equipment, we can plug into the fixed wiring system and assess the condition it, ensuring that it isn’t surging or wasting energy anywhere in the network. We then produce an Electrical Installation Conditioning Report which may make recommendations to update or fix faults. Commercial businesses are required to obtain an EICR every 5 years, while industrial businesses need more frequent testing, every 3 years.
