If you are a landlord or business owner in the historic EC1 Clerkenwell area of London, you should seriously consider having Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing) performed regularly as part of a comprehensive and secure Health and Safety plan. If you don\u2019t have regular Portable Appliance Testing <\/a>then you are putting your tenants and employees lives at risk due to possible electrocution or the potential outbreak of a fire. You are also running the risk of legal action because you are required to ensure any electrical appliance used in your building is as safe as possible.<\/p>\n

Various appliances are covered in the Portable Appliance Test<\/a> and most of them are commonplace features of offices and domestic properties. Any and all televisions, computers, monitors, kettles, microwaves, lamps, or even larger appliances such as vending machines and fridges or freezers that weigh less than 18kg, are included in the Portable Appliance Test. If your rental property in EC1 Clerkenwell comes furnished for new tenants, you must make sure they are electrically safe and the PAT Test<\/a> is the easiest and most cost-efficient way to do this. If your workplace in EC1 Clerkenwell has any of the appliances listed above, then, due to legislation such as the Electricity at Work Regulations (1989), you must ensure they have not become dangerous during their use or are placed in potentially hazardous environments.<\/p>\n

The Portable Appliance Test has two different and distinct phases. The first phase of the test is the visual inspection of the appliances and the second phase is an electrical assessment of the appliances. In the visual test, the Portable Appliance Assessor will look at the appliance and see if there has been any damage to any part of the appliance or if the appliance is left in an environment where injury can occur to the user. The electrical part of the Portable Appliance Test will focus on the inner workings of the appliance and check to make sure that the appliance is not overheating, had any internal components break causing the appliance to become unsafe or is not distributing the electricity properly.<\/p>\n

If you have not had a Portable Appliance Test<\/a> yet and you reside in EC1 Clerkenwell, simply fill in our online form and My London Tradesmen will contact companies on your behalf. You will then be given up to 3 quotes which will allow you to reach an informed decision regarding which tradesman to employ to complete your PAT Test.<\/p>\n

All of the tradesmen we use have received up to date training and are registered with all the necessary bodies. We only use reputable and trustworthy tradesmen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
