PAT Testing and EICR Services for Reading Offices & Warehouses
Reading sits at the heart of the UK’s tech sector, home to global headquarters and data-reliant businesses. For companies where electrical downtime means more than inconvenience, staying on top of compliance isn’t optional.
Hawkesworth provides Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) and Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) for Reading’s tech parks, warehouses and distribution hubs along the M4 corridor.
PAT Testing for Reading’s Tech and Logistics Sector
PAT testing checks portable electrical equipment for safety. In Reading’s tech offices and logistics centres, that means testing thousands of devices: computers, monitors, servers, laptops and everything else that plugs into a socket.
Our engineers check each appliance structurally and test it can regulate power without creating risks. Faulty equipment gets flagged early, before it becomes a problem.
For high-density IT environments, we schedule testing out of hours, evenings or weekends. Your operations stay running while we work.
Fixed Wire Testing (EICR) for Reading Commercial Properties
An EICR checks the fixed electrical installation in your building: wiring, distribution boards, circuits and sockets.
Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, commercial properties in Reading need an EICR every 3-5 years. Your certificate is both a legal requirement and an insurance condition.
If your building has multiple tenants, we provide consolidated reporting across every floor.
Why Reading Businesses Work With Us
Our Reading team schedules testing around your business, working out of hours or weekends to keep disruption minimal.
As a Hawkesworth customer, we track your compliance schedule and let you know when your next test is due.
“The services provided from initial quote and throughout the PAT test service with Rhed were great.

Working in Sensitive Tech Environments
Modern tech offices in Reading use complex power systems like UPS units and high-density server racks. We also offer Thermographic Surveys to identify thermal faults without powering down equipment.
Additional Services for Reading Businesses

- RCD Testing: Checks residual current devices protect against electrical faults
Staying Compliant
Regular testing helps you meet your responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act and Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. If our EICR identifies C1 or C2 faults, our team can carry out remedial work to get your building back to “Satisfactory” status.
