Businesses across Fareham trust TES Compliance to keep their portable and fixed appliances safe and compliant. Our NICEIC-approved engineers visit sites throughout the borough, testing equipment on site and issuing digital certification with pass and fail labels the same day.
Employers across Fareham are legally required to keep the electrical appliances used in their business safe, under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, backed by the wider duties in the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. PAT testing, which TES Compliance delivers as Electrical Equipment Testing (EET), is how that duty gets demonstrated in practice. Fareham sits on the M27 between Portsmouth and Southampton, and its economy leans on aerospace, marine engineering and defence-related work, with Eaton Aerospace and the Office for National Statistics both based at Titchfield Park and HMS Collingwood training thousands of Royal Navy personnel each year. Large employment areas at Segensworth, Solent Business Park and Cams Estate add office, workshop and light industrial appliances into the mix on top of that. TES Compliance also provides full Electrical Installation Condition Reports across Fareham, and many clients book both on the same visit.
We schedule visits across Segensworth, Whiteley, Titchfield Park, Solent Business Park and Cams Estate, working around shift patterns and site access so testing never holds up production or office hours.
Every appliance we test is logged on a digital asset register with its ID, result and next due date, handed over alongside your certificate for insurers, auditors or your own records.
Every appliance that passes is labelled and dated on the spot. Anything that fails is flagged and taken out of use immediately, so you always know the state of your inventory.
Aerospace and marine engineering firms around Titchfield Park and the Solent waterfront run test equipment, precision tools and workshop machinery that need a testing partner used to industrial environments, not just office kit. HMS Collingwood and the wider defence supply chain bring their own strict compliance expectations, while retail and warehousing operations at Whiteley and Solent Business Park have a different, higher-turnover appliance base entirely. TES Compliance tailors the inspection to whichever of these you run, rather than applying one generic checklist everywhere.
Around 1,000 electricity-related accidents happen in UK workplaces every year according to the HSE, a figure that holds regardless of how modern or well-run a site looks. Many Fareham clients pair their PAT testing with a full EICR to cover fixed wiring in the same visit, or add electrical thermal imaging surveys to catch faults before they cause downtime. We also cover PAT testing in Portsmouth and PAT testing in Southampton for businesses with sites either side of Fareham.

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
TES Compliance tests appliances for aerospace and engineering firms at Titchfield Park, retailers and logistics operators at Whiteley and Solent Business Park, office occupiers at Cams Estate and Fareham Heights, and contractors and workshops across the wider Segensworth employment area. Defence and marine-related businesses supplying HMS Collingwood and the Solent boatyards fall under the same legal duty as any other employer.
Sitting between Portsmouth and Southampton on the M27, Fareham businesses often run sites in both directions, and we plan one visit to cover them rather than separate call-outs. Clients frequently add PAT testing in Portsmouth or PAT testing in Southampton to the same schedule, and those with fixed wiring due can combine it with a full EICR.
PAT stands for Portable Appliance Testing, but the name recently changed to cover both portable and static equipment. Electrical Equipment Testing (EET) is now the term used, and the compliance obligation and the documentation produced are equivalent regardless of which name is used.
There’s no single fixed interval. The IET Code of Practice recommends a risk-based approach: workshop and test equipment at Segensworth or Titchfield Park is often checked every 3 to 12 months, while low-risk office kit at Cams Estate might only need testing every 2 to 4 years. We agree a schedule once we’ve seen your equipment.
No law names “PAT testing” specifically, but the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 place a duty on every Fareham employer to keep equipment safe. PAT testing is simply the recognised way to prove it.
Yes. Alongside Fareham, Portsmouth and Southampton, we cover Gosport, Portchester, Titchfield, Wickham and Whiteley. We can schedule one visit across all your local sites.
