Portable Appliance Testing. Keeping Your Workplace Compliant

 At DMB Services (Staffs) Ltd, we provide professional PAT testing (Portable Appliance Testing) for businesses, landlords, and organisations across Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, and Cheshire. Our service helps you comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 by ensuring all portable electrical equipment is safe for use. 

PAT testing involves the inspection and electrical testing of appliances such as computers, kettles, extension leads, power tools, and more. Over time, these appliances can develop faults that may lead to electric shock or fire if left unchecked. Regular testing helps identify potential hazards early and demonstrates a proactive approach to electrical safety.

We carry out a full visual inspection and electrical test on:

• Computers, monitors and office equipment 
• Kitchen appliances (microwaves, kettles, toasters, etc.) 
• Extension leads and adaptors 
• Industrial machinery and 110V portable tools 
• Chargers and handheld devices
• Any electrical appliance in the workplace
   

Each item is:

• Labelled with a professionally printed pass/fail label
• Logged in a digital asset register 
• Included in your final report and certificate of compliance

PAT testing is not a legal requirement in itself but is strongly recommended under UK Health & Safety law. It is essential for:

• Offices and workplaces 
• Landlords and letting agents (rented properties) 
• Care homes, schools and hospitality businesses 
• Construction and industrial sites

The frequency of testing depends on the type of equipment, environment and risk assessment. For example:

• Office equipment: every 1–2 years 
• Construction tools: every 3 months 
• Rental property appliances: annually
  We’ll advise you on the most suitable testing schedule for your business.

• Fully qualified engineers with experience across all sectors 
• Modern testing equipment and reliable reporting 
• Out-of-hours or weekend appointments available 
• Affordable, transparent pricing 
• Serving Stoke-on-Trent and surrounding areas
