Every plug-in appliance in your workplace is a potential source of electric shock or fire if it is not checked. RB Services provides PAT testing in Wolverhampton for offices, shops, factories, workshops, schools, care homes and landlords, giving you safe equipment and the paperwork to prove it.
Our City & Guilds qualified engineers inspect and test each item on site, label it pass or fail and record every result, so you can show your insurer, an auditor or an inspector exactly where you stand.
PAT testing (portable appliance testing) means checking and testing the electrical items used in your business to make sure they are safe. Every test involves a visual inspection of each item for damage, followed by electrical testing to find the faults you cannot see, such as a broken earth or breaking-down insulation.
Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, employers have a legal duty to maintain electrical equipment so that it does not cause danger. Regular inspection and testing by a competent engineer, as part of your electrical maintenance, is the best way for a Wolverhampton business to demonstrate it is meeting that duty. Without those records, it is very hard to prove your equipment has been properly maintained if something goes wrong.
Landlords and letting agents are responsible for the safety of any appliances they supply to tenants, and a PAT test record gives dated evidence that each one was checked before it was handed over.
Tell us roughly how many appliances you have and what type of premises you run. We will send a quote and book a date and time that suits you.
Our engineer checks the plug, cable, fuse and casing of each appliance for damage, scorch marks, loose connections and wear, and looks for risks such as overloaded sockets and daisy-chained extension leads.
Using calibrated test equipment, we carry out the tests each of your electrical appliances needs, including earth continuity, insulation resistance and polarity checks.
Each appliance gets a pass or fail label, and your report and asset register list every result, any action needed and when the next test is due.
Faulty electrical equipment is a common cause of workplace fires and electric shocks, and many faults give no warning until it is too late. If an incident happens and you cannot show your equipment has been inspected and tested, your business may struggle to demonstrate that it met its legal duty, insurers may ask questions about your claim, and the HSE or your local authority can take enforcement action. Regular PAT testing removes that risk and gives you evidence that you have acted responsibly.
We test portable appliances for offices, retail units, factories and industrial units, warehouses, workshops, schools, care homes, hotels, pubs and restaurants, and landlords with rental property across Wolverhampton. Whether you have a handful of items or several hundred across more than one site, we plan the visit around your equipment, working environment and hours.

Regular inspection and testing finds damaged leads, worn plugs and failing appliances before they cause an injury, a fire or an unexpected breakdown. That keeps your employees and customers safe and helps avoid the cost and disruption of equipment failing at the wrong moment.
It also gives you a clear, dated record of every appliance on site. That record supports your health and safety policy and maintenance schedule, helps employers and landlords when insurers or auditors ask for evidence, and shows exactly when each item is next due for testing.

A professional fire risk assessment for your Wolverhampton business, identifying hazards and setting out the actions needed to keep people safe and meet your legal duties.
Yes. If your business uses electrical equipment, you have a legal duty under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 to keep it maintained so it is safe. Testing by a qualified engineer, with every result on record, is the accepted way to meet that duty and prove it.
You leave staff and customers exposed to the risk of electric shock and fire, and you have no record to show your equipment has been maintained. If there is an incident, that can lead to questions from insurers and enforcement action from the HSE or your local authority.
It depends on the type of equipment and how it is used. Items used in workshops, kitchens or by the public need testing more often than office equipment. Many businesses choose to test every year so their records always stay current, and our engineer will recommend the right retest date for your site.
Most electrical appliances that plug into a socket are included, from computers, monitors and printers to kettles, microwaves, power tools, chargers and extension leads.
PAT testing is a form of electrical testing that should be carried out by a competent person with the right training and calibrated test equipment. Every RB Services engineer is qualified to City & Guilds standard, so faults are found and recorded properly.
It is labelled as failed so nobody uses it, and it is listed in your report with the reason. We will advise whether it can be repaired or should be replaced.
Yes. You receive a PAT testing certificate and a report listing every item tested, its result and the test date, sent in PDF format so it is easy to share.
