Portable appliance testing for Northampton HMOs, shops, food businesses, offices and industrial units, recorded properly and priced per item.
We provide PAT testing in Northampton for landlords, businesses and community buildings. Much of our work here is HMOs, where licence conditions usually expect supplied appliances to be checked, plus town-centre food businesses and the units on Brackmills and Moulton Park.
Shared houses tend to have heavily used appliances: kitchen kettles, microwaves, toasters and washing machines shared by four or five people, plus whatever lamps and heaters the landlord has supplied. West Northamptonshire Council's HMO licence conditions commonly ask for these to be tested. We test them on the same visit as the EICR and give you one set of documents for the council and your agent.
Commercial kitchens and salons are among the toughest environments for plug-in equipment: heat, moisture, grease and constant handling. Hair dryers and straighteners in particular wear out at the flex. These places usually need testing every six to twelve months. We can test before opening so there's no disruption to service.
On Brackmills, Moulton Park and the other estates, we test power tools, extension reels, chargers and workshop equipment, focusing on the physical damage that causes most failures. For 110 V site equipment we can set up a regular three-monthly visit.
01Message us on WhatsApp or call with the address, the number of bedrooms (or a rough size for a business) and any dates that suit. Photos of the fuse board help.
02You get a price before anything is booked. We agree a time with you or your tenant and explain when the power will be off.
03We inspect the installation, test every circuit we can reach and note anything that doesn't meet BS 7671, with the reason and the code.
04You receive the full report, usually the same or next working day. If anything fails, you get a separate written quote for the repairs.
