“Ten years on Colchester housing stock and I have seen most of it: terraces where the lighting circuit has been extended once too often, boards fitted before RCDs were standard, new builds with sockets nowhere near the kitchen. I check the earthing, the bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before I price anything, because the age of a house settles nothing on its own.”

WhatsAppHow much does PAT testing cost?
PAT testing with Lighting Electrical starts from £95. That is a starting price for the visit and the written PAT record. More appliances take the figure up from there.
Do you do PAT testing in Peterborough?
Yes, Lighting Electrical does PAT testing and electrical certificates in Peterborough. Book Now to set the visit.
What is PAT testing?
PAT testing is portable appliance testing, a check of kit that plugs into a socket. Lighting Electrical writes a pass or fail for each appliance. The certificate is the record of that visit.
What happens if an appliance fails PAT testing?
The fail is written on the certificate as a defect. PAT testing does not include the repair. Fault finding and repair is a separate Lighting Electrical service if you want it fixed.
Is PAT testing the same as an EICR?
No. PAT testing is for portable appliances. An EICR is an electrical installation condition report on the wiring of the property. Lighting Electrical keeps those as separate services.
