Services
PAT Testing
Portable Appliance Testing ensures electrical equipment complies with UK safety regulations. Our certified engineers use Seaward machinery to test appliances up to 415 volts, providing asset labels and detailed certificates. This service helps businesses avoid legal penalties and insurance issues while maintaining workplace safety.
EICR Inspections
Fixed Wiring Inspections (EICR) assess the safety of electrical installations in commercial properties. Conducted by partner electricians, this service identifies potential hazards, ensuring compliance with the IET Wiring Regulations. Reports highlight necessary repairs or upgrades to prevent electrical failures and maintain safety standards.
Emergency Light Testing
Emergency Light Testing verifies that backup lighting systems function correctly during power outages. This service ensures compliance with fire safety regulations, providing certificates that confirm system reliability. Regular testing prevents failures in critical situations, safeguarding occupants and meeting legal requirements.
Asset Labeling
Each tested appliance receives a unique asset label for easy identification. This system streamlines inventory management and compliance tracking, allowing businesses to quickly reference test results and maintenance history. Labels include asset numbers, test dates, and engineer details for transparency.
Certificate Provision
Post-testing, we issue detailed certificates and asset reports within seven days. These documents outline test results, repairs made, and compliance status. Certificates are essential for insurance purposes and audits, proving due diligence in maintaining electrical safety standards across all tested equipment.

Highly recommend Alan. He PAT tested all my new music equipment. He explained the process clearly and was easy to reach with any questions I had. He arrived on time as agreed and completed the testing quickly and efficiently. Will definitely be back at renewal time!

After a year of closing and reopening, we had been overdue for PAT testing within our building. Target PAT testing made it easy, simple and straight forward to get this done in a very timely manner. Communication was quick and I'm more than happy with the service we received and will happily use them again in the future! The certification we received afterwards was quick and professionally put together too.

I used Target PAT Testing recently to PAT test my business equipment. I received a friendly, efficient and fast service from the off-set and the cost was very reasonable. The guys are highly professional and I would use them again.
