Common questions
Do schools legally need PAT testing?
There is no single statute that says “PAT test annually”, but schools owe a duty of care under health and safety law for electrical equipment staff and pupils use. PAT testing is the recognised way to evidence that duty — and insurers, governors, and local authority audits commonly expect it.
When is the best time to PAT test a school?
Holiday periods, inset days, and after-hours slots minimise disruption to teaching. We schedule around your calendar and can route multiple sites for multi-academy trusts in one trip.
What equipment do you test in schools?
ICT suites, projectors, kitchen appliances, science prep equipment, portable heaters, extension leads, and any appliance the school owns or supplies — each logged in your compliance dashboard with QR labels where useful.
Can you provide reports for governors and insurers?
Yes — every visit includes itemised certificates plus an audit pack formatted for governor meetings, LA visits, and insurance renewals, with retest reminders before certificates lapse.
