Leyton’s small businesses — the shops along the high road, the cafés around Francis Road, local offices and workshops — all rely on portable electrical equipment that needs to be kept safe. As your local NICEIC electricians (based right here in E10), GFL Electrical make PAT testing simple and convenient.
What PAT testing is
PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) checks that plug-in equipment — kettles, computers, tools, extension leads — is safe to use. A couple of key points:
- There’s no fixed legal interval — the law requires equipment to be kept safe, and PAT is how most businesses evidence it.
- Frequency is risk-based: heavier-use environments need testing more often.
