Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)
PAT testing helps ensure that portable electrical appliances are safe to use and maintained in accordance with workplace and property safety responsibilities. Although PAT testing is not a legal requirement in itself, it supports compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, which places a duty on employers and landlords to maintain electrical equipment in a safe condition.
Our service includes:

Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)
AFM provides professional Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) for commercial, and rental properties. Our qualified electricians carry out thorough inspections to ensure your electrical installation is safe, compliant, and operating correctly.
An EICR is recommended every 5 years as part of routine maintenance, is required during the sale or purchase of a property and when there is a change of tenancy. Regular inspections help identify damaged wiring, overloaded circuits, wear and tear, and potential electrical hazards before they become serious problems.

Following the inspection, you will receive a detailed report outlining the condition of the installation and any recommended remedial work.
