RB Services carries out PAT testing for businesses, schools and landlords across Leicester and Leicestershire. Our City & Guilds qualified engineers carry out portable appliance testing on each item, label it pass or fail, and record the results in a report you can show to your insurer or auditor.
You may also see PAT testing described as electrical equipment testing (EET) or in-service inspection and testing. They all mean the same thing: checking that portable electrical equipment remains safe to use.
Most failures on electrical appliances are found during the visual inspection, before any meter is connected. Common reasons include damaged or split cables, cracked or scorched plugs, the wrong fuse rating, loose cable grips that leave inner wires exposed, and signs of overheating.
The electrical tests then pick up faults you cannot see, such as a broken earth connection or poor insulation resistance. Any item that fails is labelled and listed in your report, with a note on whether it should be repaired or replaced.
RB Services provides PAT testing for businesses throughout Leicester and across Leicestershire. We regularly carry out testing across offices, retail premises, warehouses, schools and industrial sites. We support businesses across Leicester including areas such as Braunstone, Evington, Beaumont Leys, Oadby and nearby commercial areas. Many of our clients operate within business parks, industrial estates and retail units where electrical equipment is used daily and requires regular inspection.
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require employers to keep electrical equipment in a safe condition. Regular PAT testing is a practical way for Leicester businesses to meet that duty. Our City & Guilds qualified engineers inspect and test every item, and your report gives you a clear, dated record that your equipment has been checked, ready to show your insurer or auditor.
Our PAT Testing process is designed to be efficient, thorough and structured to minimise disruption to your business.
We begin by confirming your requirements, including the number and type of appliances requiring testing. Each appliance is visually inspected to identify signs of damage, wear or faults before electrical testing is carried out using calibrated equipment.
Electrical tests typically include earth continuity, insulation resistance and polarity checks to confirm appliances remain safe to use. Each item is labelled with a PASS or FAIL result and recorded within a detailed report.
Following completion, you receive clear documentation outlining results and any recommendations for remedial action where required.

If you let a property with appliances included, such as a fridge, washing machine or microwave, you are responsible for making sure those appliances are safe for your tenants. PAT testing between tenancies is a simple way to do that, giving you a dated record that every item was inspected and tested before new tenants move in.
Landlords and letting agents get the same labels, test report and certificate as our business customers, for every item tested.
PAT Testing is suitable for any organisation that uses electrical equipment within the workplace. This includes offices, retail premises, schools, healthcare environments, warehouses, industrial sites and hospitality venues.
Regular inspection helps confirm equipment remains safe to use and reduces the risk of electrical faults within the workplace.
Each tested item is labelled with its pass or fail result and test date. Afterwards you get a report that lists each appliance and its results, and reports and certificates can be provided in PDF format for easy sharing with insurers, auditors or landlords.
Keep these records with your health and safety files. If anything failed, the report shows what action is recommended so you can follow it through to repair or replacement.
PAT Testing costs depend on the number of appliances requiring inspection and the size of the premises. Testing is typically priced per item or based on a site visit depending on the scale of work.
