Only if the job starts outside Monday to Friday, 7am to 2pm. Many shops and restaurants prefer it; the uplift is shown before you pay.

The price on the screen is the price on the card. All service labels and the certificate are included; failed items are tagged and listed, never charged for. If you are not sure how many appliances you have, estimate — the engineer counts on the day and the difference is reconciled at 99p each, up or down. All prices exclude VAT; the inclusive total is shown before you pay.

The one easy question

Anyone who works in the building can answer it. A rough number is fine.

QUESTION 1

Roughly how many appliances?

Anything with a plug: computers, monitors, kettles, microwaves, extension leads, chargers, tools. Count the desks and the kitchen and you will be close enough. Under 100 is £149; over 100 is 99p each on top.

What you are buying

A combined inspection and test of every portable appliance on site by a City & Guilds 2377 qualified engineer using calibrated test equipment, to the IET Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing (5th edition). Every item gets a pass or fail label with the date and the next-due date; every result goes into an asset register you keep.

The duty under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 is to maintain equipment in a safe condition. PAT testing is what insurers, auditors and risk assessors expect to see as evidence of that. RiskSorted is the contractor: we set the price, hold the contract and stand behind the work.

On the day the engineer needs each appliance unplugged for about a minute. Desks, kitchens and back offices carry on around them; nothing else is switched off.

Report in your account within 14 days of the visit, or 10% back.

Automatic — you do not have to ask. The 14 days run from the day the assessor attends, not the day you book. That is a promise, not small print.

Questions people ask before they book

Is PAT testing a legal requirement?
Not by name. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require electrical equipment to be maintained in a safe condition, and PAT testing to the IET Code of Practice is the recognised way of demonstrating that. Insurers, landlords, auditors and fire risk assessors will ask for the certificate.
How often should it be done?
It depends on the equipment and where it is used. Office equipment in a low-risk environment is typically a full test every two years with a formal visual inspection in between — which is exactly the RiskSorted cycle: full test in year one, visual inspection in year two, repeat. Kitchens, hand tools and anything with a damage history get a full test every year.
What if I do not know how many appliances I have?
Estimate. Count the desks, add the kitchen, and tell the assistant. The engineer counts on the day and the difference is reconciled at 99p an appliance — up or down — after the visit. Nobody is charged for an estimate being out.
What happens to failed items?
They are labelled as failed, listed in the register with the reason, and left with you. Nothing is removed and nothing is charged for. Most failures are cheap — a damaged lead, a cracked plug — and are fixed or replaced by you.
Can I pay by invoice or get a quote for a PO?
Yes. The form offers card, an invoice paid before the visit (card or bank transfer, 14 days), or a PDF quote you can raise a PO against and accept later. The visit is scheduled once payment is received.
Do you do the EICR as well?
Yes — the fixed wiring inspection. PAT covers what plugs in; the EICR covers the sockets and circuits themselves, and most premises need both. The assistant will offer it once your PAT is booked.
