RB Services provides PAT testing in Worcester and across Worcestershire for businesses, commercial premises, domestic and commercial landlords, letting agents and holiday let owners. Our City & Guilds qualified PAT testers inspect and test each appliance on site, label it and record the result, so you know your equipment is safe and can prove it.
If people use your electrical equipment, whether they are staff, customers, tenants or guests, you are responsible for making sure it will not hurt them. Regular PAT testing is the simplest way to meet that responsibility.
Portable appliance testing, usually shortened to PAT testing, checks that electrical appliances are safe for the people using them. Our engineer starts with a visual inspection for physical damage, then runs electrical tests to uncover the faults that cannot be seen from the outside.
Under UK law, any employer in Worcester is bound by the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, which require electrical equipment to be kept safe through proper maintenance. Testing by a qualified engineer, with the results kept on record, is the clearest proof that you comply with the law, and it forms a key part of your wider health and safety compliance.
Landlords and letting agents must make sure any appliances they provide are safe for tenants. Holiday let owners are in the same position: every kettle, toaster, television and hairdryer you supply is used by people who trust it to be safe. A PAT test between bookings or tenancies gives you a dated record for every item and peace of mind for you and your guests.
Tell us what type of property or premises you have and roughly how many items need testing. You'll receive a quote, and we'll schedule the visit around your business hours or guest bookings.
Each appliance is examined closely, from the plug and fuse to the cable and casing, as most problems show up as physical damage, overheating or wear.
Using calibrated equipment, our engineer carries out the right tests for each type of appliance, such as earth continuity, insulation resistance and polarity.
Each item is labelled with its result, and you get a report and asset register for the whole property, including next test dates.
An appliance that passed last year may not be safe today. Leads are trapped, plugs are dropped and equipment is moved between rooms or properties. Without regular testing, a fault can go unnoticed until it causes an injury or a fire, and you would have no record to show the equipment was ever checked. Testing on a regular cycle closes that gap and protects the safety of your tenants, guests, staff and business.
Alongside landlords and letting agents, we test electrical equipment for offices, shops, commercial units, schools, care homes, hotels, restaurants and workshops across Worcester and Worcestershire. From a single property to a whole portfolio, we plan each visit around the items you have and when the premises are free.

Regular testing keeps your appliances safe for everyone who uses them and reduces the risk of fire, electric shock and unexpected equipment failure, which means fewer costly repairs.
It also gives you a clear, dated record that you can show to insurers, auditors, letting agents or guests, and makes it easy to plan when each item is next due.

Yes. If anyone uses electrical equipment in your workplace, you are responsible for its safety under the law. A record of PAT testing carried out by a qualified engineer is the best evidence you can have that you are meeting that responsibility.
Landlords and holiday let owners are responsible for the safety of every appliance they provide. PAT testing is the clearest way to show each item has been checked, and it gives you dated evidence if anyone ever asks.
It depends on the equipment and how it is used. Appliances in rental properties, holiday lets and busy work environments are handled by many different people and should be tested regularly, often between tenancies or once a year. Our engineer will recommend a retest date for every item.
