PAT Testing in Stratford-upon-Avon
We cover Stratford-upon-Avon and the nearby villages.
PAT testing for Stratford-upon-Avon businesses
Stratford is the most hospitality-heavy town we cover. Hotels, guest houses, restaurants, cafés and visitor attractions dominate, and that changes the testing job considerably. Commercial kitchens are the highest-risk environment we work in, with heat, moisture, grease and constant movement of equipment, so kitchen appliances and leads justify more frequent testing than anything in an office. Guest bedrooms add up quickly too, since every kettle, hairdryer, lamp and TV counts as an item, which is why accommodation sites usually land in our per-item pricing.
Typical customers here are hotels and guest houses, restaurants and commercial kitchens, theatres and visitor attractions, shops. If your postcode is in CV37, you are inside our normal coverage area and there is no travel charge.
Getting to Stratford
Stratford is about 40 minutes from Banbury across country on the A422, and it is inside our normal area, so travel is included. For a large hotel we can split the work over more than one visit to fit around your occupancy.
Guest rooms add up quickly
A typical guest room has a kettle, a hairdryer, two bedside lamps and a TV, and often an iron or a mini fridge as well. A 20-room hotel can reach 100 items before the kitchen, bar and back office are counted. That is why accommodation sits in our per-item pricing: £50 for the first 50 items, then 80p an item up to 200, so those 100 room items come to £90.
Commercial kitchens
Much of the heavy equipment in a commercial kitchen is hard-wired, built in or too heavy to move safely, so it cannot be tested like a kettle. We test everything we can safely reach, visually inspect the rest, and record which is which on your certificate, so nobody is unsure later about what was covered. The details are in what we can and cannot test.
What a Stratford-upon-Avon test costs
Our price is based on the number of items, not your postcode. As a worked example, a 150-item hotel and restaurant in Stratford-upon-Avon comes to £130, all in. That covers travel, a pass or fail label on every item, minor repairs on the spot and your certificate. Parts such as replacement plugs and fuses are charged separately, and we are not VAT registered so there is nothing to add on top.

How often should a Stratford hotel or restaurant be PAT tested?
More often than an office. Commercial kitchen equipment and anything portable in guest rooms is higher risk, so many accommodation and catering sites test annually and check kitchen items more frequently. We will advise sensible intervals for your site.
Can you test guest rooms without disturbing guests?
Yes. We start with rooms that are empty and work around check-out and check-in. A guest room only has a handful of items, so each one is quick to finish.
How much does PAT testing cost?
Our pricing is fixed and all-inclusive: £50 for up to 50 items. For larger jobs it's £50 for the first 50 items, then 80p per item up to 200, and 70p per item beyond that.
Every price includes travel within 30 miles of Banbury, pass/fail stickers on every item, minor repairs carried out on the spot, and a PDF certificate. Any parts we fit, such as new plugs or fuses, are charged separately. Beyond 30 miles, travel is £1 a mile for each mile past the first 30. There are no call-out fees, and nothing else added on the day. We're not VAT registered, so there's no VAT on top. (Prices shown are a starting guide; confirm your job when you book.)
