RB Services provides professional PAT Testing in Leicester, helping businesses and organisations maintain safe electrical equipment through structured inspection and testing. Our engineers carry out Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing) to ensure appliances remain safe for everyday use.
Also referred to as Electrical Equipment Testing (EET), PAT Testing supports businesses in maintaining safe working environments and reducing electrical risk. As a local provider, we support organisations across Leicester with reliable testing, clear reporting and efficient site visits.
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing) is the process of inspecting and testing electrical appliances to confirm they remain safe to use.
This involves both a visual inspection and electrical testing using specialist equipment. Over time, electrical equipment can deteriorate or become damaged, increasing the risk of electrical faults or hazards.
PAT Testing helps identify these issues early, allowing businesses to maintain safe equipment and reduce the risk of electrical incidents within the workplace.
RB Services provides PAT Testing services for businesses throughout Leicester and surrounding areas. 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.
UK legislation, including the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, requires electrical equipment to be maintained in a safe condition. PAT Testing supports businesses in meeting these responsibilities by identifying faults and ensuring equipment remains safe to use. Portable Appliance Testing is not a legal requirement itself, but it is a recognised method of demonstrating that electrical equipment is being maintained safely within the workplace.
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.
Leicester has a wide range of commercial environments including industrial estates, manufacturing facilities, offices, retail premises and warehouses. Many businesses rely on electrical equipment daily, making regular inspection essential for safe operations.
RB Services provides PAT Testing in Leicester tailored to different working environments, including high-use equipment, workshop tools and office appliances.
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.

Maintaining safe electrical equipment helps create safer working environments for staff and visitors.
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.
