PAT testing Coventry
RJ PAT Testing is a small, family-run business providing PAT testing in Coventry and across the Midlands. Electrical and fire safety compliance is our speciality, so you get a dedicated team that knows exactly what is needed to keep your equipment safe, your records in order and your business compliant.
Some faults can only be found by testing, not by looking. Our certified engineers combine a thorough visual inspection with electrical tests on every appliance, using calibrated test equipment and carrying out free minor repairs on the spot where needed. We then apply a barcoded pass label to each item and log everything in our digital asset database, so you get a clear, audit-ready certificate and report for your insurer, landlord or local authority.
Whether you are a landlord with a single rental property, an office in Coventry city centre or a factory with hundreds of power tools, we fit around your schedule, including evenings and weekends, to get the job done quickly, safely and with minimal disruption.

Who we test for
Landlords, offices, shops, schools, trades and industrial sites: we test portable appliances wherever they are used.
Local authorities expect rented homes and HMOs to have their electrical appliances checked, usually every year. We test the appliances you supply to tenants and give you the records to prove it.
We plan office PAT testing around your working day to keep downtime to a minimum, and work with your IT team so computers are backed up and shut down properly before testing.
Factories, workshops, garages, industrial kitchens, construction sites, power generation sites and electrical contractors: we test power tools and heavy-use equipment in demanding environments.
From shops, schools and hairdressers to mobile catering vans, DJs and bouncy castle hire, we test equipment for businesses and organisations of every size.

Questions & answers
How much does PAT testing cost in Coventry & across the Midlands?
Our PAT testing starts from £65, which includes up to 20 appliances. Each additional appliance is £1.20, and there is a discount for more than 200 appliances. The final price depends on your location and type of business, so ask us for a free quote.
Is PAT testing a legal requirement?
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require employers to keep electrical equipment safe and maintained. The law does not say exactly how, but regular inspection and testing is the accepted way to show you have done this, and many insurers, landlords and local authorities expect to see PAT test records.
How often should appliances be PAT tested?
It depends on the type of equipment and how and where it is used. Equipment in a factory, on a construction site or hired out to the public needs checking more often than a computer in an office. We will recommend sensible retest dates for your business and help you keep on top of them.
Do you cover areas outside Coventry?
Yes. We are based in Coventry and regularly work in Kenilworth, Nuneaton, Bedworth, Rugby, Leamington Spa, Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon and across Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Staffordshire and the wider West Midlands.
Do you test out of hours or at weekends to avoid disrupting our business?
Yes. Whether you run a busy office, retail shop, nursery or factory, we can schedule testing outside your normal operating hours, including evenings and weekends, to keep downtime to a minimum. Just let us know your preferred times when you ask for a quote and we will arrange a schedule that works around your team.
What happens if an appliance fails a PAT test?
If an item fails because of a minor fault, such as an incorrect fuse, a loose connection or a damaged plug, we carry out free minor repairs on the spot so it can be retested and passed straight away. If an appliance has a serious fault that cannot be repaired safely, we apply a clear fail label, log it in your report and advise you on the next steps.
How long does it take to get our certificate and asset register?
We email your official PAT testing certificate and full digital asset register within 24 hours of completing the job, often on the same day. Your records include every barcoded item tested, its pass or fail status and your recommended retest date.
