At Robert Bowman Electrical Contractor, we provide PAT testing in Spalding and across Lincolnshire for businesses, landlords, and organisations. Our engineers check electrical items for safety, label each appliance, and supply clear records. We work around your hours to keep disruption low.

Who Needs PAT Testing

PAT testing is for anyone responsible for electrical equipment used by staff, customers, pupils, or tenants. Offices, shops, cafés, warehouses, and community spaces often need routine checks. Landlords and letting agents use it to show appliances are safe at the start of a tenancy.

Schools, nurseries, and charities also benefit because many people share equipment. If you run a small business or work from home with company-owned equipment, regular testing helps reduce faults, shocks, and fire risks.

What We Test

We test most plug-in electrical items that can be moved, even if they stay in one place. This includes computers, monitors, printers, phone chargers, and extension leads. We also check kitchen appliances such as kettles, microwaves, fridges, and toasters.

For trade and site work, we test portable lights, fans, and power tools. We can also test adaptors and multiway extensions. If an item has a plug, lead, or power supply, we can usually include it in the test list.

Our PAT Testing Services

Our PAT testing service is carried out on site, at a time that suits you. We start with a careful visual check, then complete the correct electrical tests using properly checked equipment.

Each item gets a clear pass or fail label, and you receive a digital report for your records. Where safe and agreed, we can replace damaged plugs, fuses, and loose leads during the visit. We also highlight items that may need repair or replacement.

PAT Testing for Offices

Offices often have many items plugged in all day, from computers and screens to chargers, printers, and kitchen appliances.

We test workstations, meeting rooms, and shared areas, and label each item clearly. Visits can be planned outside busy hours to keep your team working.

PAT Testing for Landlords and Letting Agents

Landlords and letting agents can use PAT testing to show supplied appliances are safe for new and existing tenants.

We test items like fridges, cookers, kettles, lamps, and extension leads, then provide an easy-to-file report. Flexible appointments help you meet changeover dates.

PAT Testing for Schools and Nurseries

Schools and nurseries rely on equipment that is handled by many people, such as laptops, projectors, whiteboard units, and kitchen items.

We work carefully around pupils and staff, and can plan testing during holidays or staff training days. Clear labels and records support safe daily routines.

Home Working PAT Testing

If you or your team work from home, company-owned electrical items still need to be safe. We can test laptops, monitors, docks, chargers, and extension leads at your home address, by appointment.

You get the same labels and records as a larger workplace, without hassle.

PAT Testing for Shops and Hospitality

Shops, cafés, and hospitality venues use a mix of front-of-house and back-room equipment, including tills, card readers, fridges, microwaves, and display lighting.

We plan visits around opening hours where possible, so trading can continue. Testing helps reduce faults that could affect service.

PAT Testing for Construction Sites

Construction sites often use portable tools, leads, and temporary power set-ups that face heavy wear. We test drills, grinders, chargers, extension reels, and site lighting, and flag damage early.

Regular checks support safer working and help keep equipment reliable on busy jobs.

How Often PAT Testing Should Be Done

How often PAT testing is needed depends on risk. Items used every day, moved often, or used in tough places like workshops may need testing more often. Office equipment that stays at one desk may need it less often.

Many organisations choose annual testing as a simple plan, then adjust after results. Between visits, staff should report damage to plugs, leads, and casings straight away.

How PAT Testing Works

PAT testing follows a clear process. First, we agree a list of items to check and the best time to visit. On site, we inspect each appliance for visible damage, such as cracked casings, loose plugs, or worn cables.

We then carry out electrical checks using test equipment to confirm the item is working safely. Each appliance is labelled with a pass or fail result and a retest date where needed. You receive a report showing every item tested, plus a summary for your records.
