Our NICEIC-approved engineers carry out thorough electrical equipment testing, clear digital reports and full compliance support.
Portable Appliance Testing, or PAT testing, is the process of checking electrical appliances to make sure they are safe to use in the workplace. In Crawley and across the UK, employers have a legal duty of care under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 to keep all electrical equipment properly maintained and safe. Whether you run a small office or a large commercial site, PAT testing is something every business that uses portable electrical equipment needs to take seriously.Our qualified engineers test, certify and label all your appliances carefully and with minimal fuss, giving you the documentation you need for insurance and compliance. Our portable appliance testing service covers Crawley and the wider West Sussex area, and includes a full digital asset register, pass and fail labelling, and a detailed report on completion of the visit.
Every PAT test in Crawley is carried out by our City and Guilds qualified engineers working to the IET Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment. Each test is accurate, thorough and fully in line with current industry standards, so you can be confident your business is covered.
We give you a complete digital record of every appliance tested, including serial numbers, individual test results and recommended next test dates. It is exactly what you need for insurance purposes and ongoing compliance management.
Every appliance gets a clear pass or fail label during testing. Anything that fails is flagged straight away so you can act quickly and keep your Crawley workplace safe without any guesswork.
If your business uses electrical appliances, you need PAT testing. Our engineers carry out portable appliance testing in Crawley for all kinds of businesses and organisations, including offices and general workplaces, schools, colleges and healthcare settings, hotels, restaurants and hospitality venues, events companies and mobile operators, and retail and warehouse environments. The HSE reports around 1,000 electricity-related workplace accidents every year in the UK, a reminder of why maintaining electrical equipment is not something businesses can afford to overlook.
TES Compliance has worked with some well-known names across a wide range of sectors. You can see examples of the kind of work we do on our projects page, including work for Browns Family Jewellers, Shortstay UK and Canon Medical.
Whatever your sector, we will work with you to put together a testing schedule that suits your site and keeps you fully compliant throughout the year. Many of our Crawley clients also combine their PAT testing with an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) to cover both their fixed wiring and their appliances in one visit. We also provide fire safety services and installation and maintenance for businesses that need a broader compliance package. We also carry out electrical thermal imaging surveys for Crawley businesses that want to identify hidden faults in their electrical installation without any disruption to operations.
For Crawley businesses specifically, we carry out EICR in Sussex covering fixed wiring inspections across West Sussex and the wider county.

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
If your business uses electrical appliances, you need PAT testing. It applies to every Crawley employer regardless of size or sector. We regularly carry out electrical equipment testing for offices and co-working spaces in Crawley town centre and the Manor Royal business district, Gatwick-adjacent aviation, logistics and travel retail businesses, schools and colleges across the Crawley district, care homes, GP practices and healthcare facilities, hotels and hospitality venues, and retail and warehouse operations across West Sussex. Whether you have a handful of items or a large multi-floor inventory, TES Compliance will put together a testing programme that works for your site and your schedule.
PAT stands for Portable Appliance Testing. It is the process of inspecting and testing electrical appliances to make sure they are safe to use at work. TES Compliance now carries out this service under the name Electrical Equipment Testing (EET), as it more accurately reflects the full scope of what is tested, covering both portable and fixed appliances. Businesses across Crawley and the UK use it as a straightforward way to meet their health and safety obligations.
PAT testing frequency depends on the type of equipment and the environment it is used in. The IET Code of Practice recommends a risk-based approach rather than a fixed interval. Equipment in a low-risk office environment is typically tested less frequently than equipment used in more demanding environments. Your TES engineer will assess your site and advise on the right intervals for each category of appliance.
There is no law that specifically names PAT testing, but the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 both require employers to ensure electrical equipment is safe. PAT testing is the recognised way to demonstrate that obligation is being met, and most commercial insurers and landlords expect to see up-to-date testing records as evidence of compliance.
Yes. TES Compliance is based in Crawley and covers the whole of West Sussex including Horsham, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, Worthing and Chichester. We also cover PAT testing in Brighton and East Sussex and PAT testing in London for businesses that need coverage across multiple locations. If you are not sure whether we cover your specific area, get in touch and we will confirm.
