Brighton and East Sussex businesses operate across one of the most diverse commercial landscapes on the South Coast. TES Compliance provides professional portable appliance testing for hospitality venues, offices, retail units and healthcare facilities across Brighton, Hove, Worthing, Eastbourne and the wider East Sussex area, with NICEIC-approved engineers and full compliance documentation.
Brighton is a city that operates at full capacity all year round. Hotels, restaurants and bars along the seafront, digital agencies and creative studios in the North Laine, retail units across Churchill Square, healthcare clinics throughout the city, and schools and colleges across Hove and beyond all have one thing in common: a legal obligation under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 to maintain their electrical equipment safely. PAT testing in Brighton is the recognised way to fulfil that duty and document it correctly. TES Compliance engineers carry out the full two-stage process at your premises. Every applicable appliance is visually inspected for cable damage, plug condition and casing integrity, then electrically tested with calibrated equipment. Results are recorded in your digital asset register in real time and pass or fail labels are applied on the day. The same thorough process applies whether we are carrying out pat testing Worthing for a coastal retail operator, pat testing Eastbourne for a hotel group or pat testing East Sussex for a school.
Brighton's restaurants, bars and hotels cannot shut down for testing. We schedule visits around your service times, working early mornings, between services or in sections, so your team keeps working and your guests are never affected.
Our engineers cover the full East Sussex coastline from Worthing through Brighton and Eastbourne to Hastings, as well as inland towns including Lewes and Bexhill. One provider, one consistent standard across the whole area.
Every appliance tested is recorded in a full digital asset register including individual results, serial numbers and recommended retest dates. You receive everything you need for your insurer, landlord or health and safety file once the visit is complete.
The legal obligation applies to every employer, but in Brighton and East Sussex there are sectors where the requirement is especially pressing. Hotels, guesthouses and serviced apartments throughout Brighton and Hove, restaurants, bars, cafes and event venues across the city, schools, colleges and the University of Brighton, NHS trusts and private healthcare providers in Brighton and Eastbourne, digital and creative businesses in the North Laine and across Hove, care homes and social housing providers in Worthing and Eastbourne, and retail operators from Churchill Square to the Arndale Centre in Worthing. Electrical appliance testing in these environments is both a legal requirement and an insurance necessity.
TES Compliance has worked with well-known businesses across hospitality, retail and commercial sectors. You can see examples of the kind of work we do on our projects page, including work for Bvlgari Hotel, Leon Restaurants and Notcutts.
Many of our Brighton clients also combine their PAT testing with an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) to cover both their fixed wiring and their appliances in one programme. We also provide fire safety services and installation and maintenance for businesses that need broader compliance support.

They carried out a massive testing job for us on a very active, complex building. It’s hard to find people who are willing to tackle the big technical stuff but still happy to help out with the smaller bits too. The engineers are great and continue to support us with our compliance and installations. 10/10.
The team at TES were great in arranging, managing and performing PAT and EICR reports that was urgently required. I would highly recommend them for their prompt and efficient service
The obligation applies to every employer in Brighton and East Sussex with electrical appliances at work. We regularly carry out PAT testing for hotels, guesthouses and serviced apartments throughout Brighton and Hove, restaurants, bars, cafes and event venues across the city, schools and colleges across East Sussex, NHS trusts and private healthcare providers in Brighton and Eastbourne, digital and creative businesses in the North Laine, care homes and social housing providers in Worthing and Eastbourne, and retail operators across the county. Whether you have a small independent premises or a large multi-floor commercial building, TES Compliance will put together a testing programme that works around your business.
There is no specific law requiring Airbnb hosts to carry out PAT testing, but the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and consumer protection regulations mean that anyone providing accommodation commercially has a responsibility to ensure electrical appliances are safe. Many short-term let platforms and managing agents in Brighton and East Sussex now require evidence of electrical appliance testing as part of their property compliance standards. TES Compliance can assist with this.
