PAT Testing Portsmouth – Electrical Equipment Testing for South Coast Businesses

TES Compliance provides professional PAT testing across Portsmouth and the surrounding area. Our NICEIC-approved engineers carry out thorough electrical equipment testing for businesses of all sizes, working around your operational requirements and providing complete, fully documented compliance records.

Portable Appliance Testing Across Portsmouth and the South Coast

The South Hampshire coastline is home to a wide range of businesses, from independent hospitality and tourism operators to large retail developments, healthcare facilities and educational institutions. Every employer in this area has a legal obligation under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 to ensure their electrical equipment is maintained safely. PAT testing in Portsmouth is how that obligation is practically met. When TES Compliance carries out testing at your premises, our engineers work through every applicable appliance systematically. Visual inspection comes first, checking for signs of damage, wear or unsafe modification. Then comes the formal electrical test on each item, with results logged in real time. Pass or fail labels are applied during the visit. PAT testing Chichester, pat testing Havant and pat testing Fareham all follow exactly the same professional process, with the same qualified engineers.

Qualified PAT Testing Electricians

Every test is carried out by a City and Guilds qualified engineer working to the IET Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment. TES Compliance is NICEIC-approved, so your documentation carries the weight it needs to with insurers, landlords and auditors.

Covering Coastal Hospitality and Commercial Sites

Hotels, restaurants and leisure venues along the Solent and Chichester Harbour coastline often have large inventories of mixed appliances across multiple floors. We plan our visits to work around your trading periods and cover every item without disrupting your guests or customers.

Complete Compliance Documentation

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.

Why Portsmouth and South Coast Businesses Work With TES Compliance

The legal obligation to test electrical equipment applies to every employer in this area, regardless of sector or size. TES Compliance has carried out electrical equipment testing for businesses across hospitality, retail, healthcare, education and commercial property sectors. You can see examples of the kind of work we do on our projects page, including work for clients such as Browns Family Jewellers, Leon Restaurants and Shortstay UK.

We work methodically and professionally, treating every premises with care. We do not make blanket promises about turnaround because every site is different in terms of size, layout and number of appliances. What we do commit to is a thorough job, complete documentation and a clear quote before any work is agreed.

Many clients along the South Coast 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.

James Crabtree
Excellent company who helped us out in an emergency. Very accommodating on dates, professional engineers. Great communication throughout and reports compiled in a professional manner.
Luke

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.

Chris Irving
Antony carried out a full electrical installation on our new office in Crawley and from start to finish he was outstanding. He understood the deadlines we were working to and even worked nights to make sure this was completed on time. We changed our mind with several things throughout the installation process and nothing was too much trouble for Antony. I would highly recommend!!

There is no law that uses the specific term 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.
