“Most of my work is domestic: consumer units, full and partial rewires, lighting and EICRs on houses around Basingstoke. I test and certify everything I fit, and anything else I find while I am there gets priced separately rather than added quietly to the bill. The electrician who quotes your job is the one who does it.”

WhatsAppHow much does PAT testing cost?
PAT testing starts at £95. That is a starting price for a typical domestic or small workplace set of appliances. A longer list of kit costs more and we quote in writing first.
What is PAT testing?
PAT testing is portable appliance testing. We check plug in kit such as kettles, tools, lamps and leads, then write a pass or fail for each item.
Do landlords need PAT testing?
A landlord often wants PAT testing on furnished kit in a let. It is separate from the EICR, which covers the fixed wiring, sockets and fuse board.
Do you test the house wiring as well?
No. PAT testing is for portable appliances only. Fixed wiring, fuse boards and sockets need an EICR, which starts at £200.
Who turns up for the test?
We do. You deal with JD Electricals from the written price through to the results on the day.
