PAT Testing and EICR Services for London Offices
London offices need two core electrical safety tests to stay compliant: Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) and Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR). From the towers of Canary Wharf to the offices in Westminster, Hawkesworth provides both services across Central London.
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) for London Offices
PAT testing checks every piece of portable electrical equipment in your workplace. This includes computers, monitors, printers, kettles, desk lamps and any other device that plugs into a socket.
Our engineers test the structural integrity of each appliance and check it can regulate power safely. Faulty equipment gets identified and removed before it becomes a fire risk or causes injury.
For London offices with hundreds or thousands of devices, we offer high-volume testing with minimal disruption. We work out of hours, evenings or weekends to keep your operations running.
EICR Testing for London Commercial Properties
An EICR checks your building’s fixed electrical installation. This includes the wiring, distribution boards, circuits and sockets built into the property itself.
Commercial properties in London need an EICR every 3-5 years. High-occupancy buildings or those with higher risk may need more frequent testing. Your EICR certificate is a legal requirement and an insurance condition.
If your building has multiple tenants, we provide consolidated reporting so every floor meets the same safety standards.
Why London Facilities Managers Choose Hawkesworth
In corporate offices, downtime can affect operations significantly. Our London team works with Facilities Managers to schedule testing at times that suit your business. We offer out-of-hours and weekend testing to minimise disruption while we complete the work.
As a Hawkesworth customer, we’ll let you know when your next retest is due, so compliance stays on track without you having to manage the schedule yourself.

Keeping London Offices Safe and Compliant
