PAT Testing in East Lothian

Frequency depends on the environment, not a fixed rule. The IET Code of Practice recommends office equipment in East Lothian be tested every 24–48 months, kitchen and hospitality equipment every 12 months, hire equipment before every hire, and construction-site kit every 3 months. HMO landlords in East Lothian typically test annually to satisfy council licence conditions. We'll assess your environment during the first visit and recommend an interval that keeps you compliant without over-testing.

We quote a fixed fee based on appliance count, not an hourly rate. Typical East Lothian small offices (20–50 items) fall in the £60–£120 range; medium premises (100–250 items) £150–£300. We never charge extra for re-testing after a minor repair on the same visit. Send us an estimate of your item count and we'll email a firm quote the same day.

Yes. We regularly work evenings and weekends across East Lothian for retail, hospitality and schools that can't take equipment offline during trading hours. There's no out-of-hours surcharge for scheduled weekend bookings.
