Stratford has become a major retail and leisure destination — Westfield, the Olympic Park venues, hotels, food outlets, and the offices of the International Quarter. All of these run on portable electrical equipment that must be kept safe. GFL Electrical carry out PAT testing across E15 and E20.
What PAT testing is
PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) checks that plug-in equipment is safe to use. Worth knowing:
- There’s no fixed legal interval — the duty is to keep equipment safe, and PAT is the practical evidence.
- Frequency is risk-based — a food unit needs it more often than an office.
