Typical PAT Testing Prices – What you can expect to pay

Prices are based on the number of items you have to test, and your location.

If you are based within a 30 minute drive of NE28 then we charge £55 including up to 20 items. If we test more than 20 items then each additional item is £1.50. For example, if we test 50 items, we will invoice you £100.00.

  • If you have more than 100 items at quotation stage, then we will quote you £1.25 per item
  • If you have more than 300 items, then we charge £1.00 per item.

We always recommend you contact us for a bespoke price, as you will usually get a better offer.

  • Microwave ovens will be tested for emissions leakage at £5 each.
  • If your workplace requires PPE, then you are likely to have a lot of repairs, dirt or difficult locations to work in, specialist equipment etc so the price defaults to £1.50 per item or day rates.
