RB Services has offered portable appliance testing for over 20 years from our Birmingham office. Our City & Guilds qualified engineers test and label equipment across Birmingham and the West Midlands, providing full reports and certificates.
Testing can be arranged outside normal working hours where needed, and we also provide fire extinguisher servicing, fire alarm testing, fire risk assessments, emergency lighting testing and EICRs for Birmingham businesses.
Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, employers must maintain electrical equipment so that it is safe for employees and anyone else who uses it. The clearest way to show you are meeting that duty is regular PAT testing by a qualified engineer, with every result properly recorded.
That is exactly what RB Services provides. Our engineers test to the IET Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment, the industry’s recognised standard. Every item is inspected, tested and labelled, and every result is recorded, giving you clear evidence of electrical safety in your workplace for insurers, auditors and your own compliance records.
Landlords who supply appliances with a property have the same responsibility to make sure they are safe, and an RB Services PAT test certificate is a straightforward way to show it.
RB Services provides local PAT testing across Birmingham, supporting businesses with reliable electrical appliance testing and clear, easy-to-follow results.
We work with businesses throughout Birmingham including Edgbaston, Digbeth, Jewellery Quarter, Selly Oak, Aston and surrounding areas. From office-based environments to retail units and industrial sites, we adapt our testing approach to suit different types of equipment and working environments.

Our engineers carry out a thorough visual inspection of each appliance’s plug, fuse, cable and casing, checking for damage, wear or faults. They then perform electrical tests using calibrated equipment, including earth continuity, insulation resistance and polarity checks as needed.
After testing is complete, you receive a full report detailing each appliance’s test results and status, along with a PAT testing certificate for your records. Any failed items will be clearly identified with guidance on repair or removal from use.
We test portable appliances for offices, retail premises, schools, care homes, hospitality venues, warehouses, industrial units and landlords with rental properties across Birmingham, whether you have one site or several.

Electrical equipment wears with everyday use. Cables get pulled and crushed, plugs get knocked and appliances get moved from room to room. Regular testing finds these problems early, before they cause an electric shock, a fire or an unexpected breakdown, reducing the risk to your employees, customers and visitors.
Equipment that is moved often, used by the public or used in busier environments such as kitchens and workshops benefits from more frequent checks. Our engineers will recommend a suitable retest date for your site based on how your equipment is used, so you always know when your next test is due.
Our engineers are City & Guilds qualified and test to the IET Code of Practice, and our Birmingham team has more than 20 years’ experience. We work around your opening hours to keep disruption to a minimum, and send your results promptly in PDF format for insurers, auditors and your own records.
The same team also provides fire extinguisher servicing, emergency lighting testing and EICRs, so you can keep your compliance work with one Birmingham provider.
The cost of PAT testing depends mainly on how many appliances you have and the size of your site. Tell us roughly how many items you have and where your premises are, and we will send you a quote.
