pat testing prices

[tamdee]

Whats the going rate for pat testing per item.any help would be appreciated.

It’ll probably cost you more to get a carrier bag these days.

My minimum charge is £60 ...........

 

[ProDave]

I just charge my normal hourly rate, minimum 1 hour.  I won't get involved with price per item.

 

[kerching]

Hourly rate multiplied by some random number that depends on whether I can actually be bothered doing it or not

 

[binky]

not much, as low as 80p an item and less.

You can't really make a day's pay  out of PAT testing  at the prices around today .   I only do it for regular customers  .    One of them had it done for 0.30p  / item

30p per item .................. poor sod that had to do that 

Minimum wage about £7 plus overheads so say £3 per hour total = £10 / 0.30 = 33 per hour EVERY hour EVERY day .

I was asked to draw up a schedule for PAT testing. King Canute holding back the tide had more luck than I did. The operative word is “portable”, try finding a bit of kit on a site four miles square. I’d put out a list of things to be tested, half of them had vanished when the lads went to do the test.

Cost? About £40 per item based on tradesman’s rates.

A realistic  , but probably unatainable price  for PAT testing  would be in the region of  £5.50  /item .   Worked on  doing 4 tests /hour ...write out the sticky label .. check  connections in  plug top  ...enter results on record sheet  .  

Now I'm semi - retired  and struggling with  too much kneeling  .....   the days of  clambering up tower platforms.....  hauling ladders about ...  pulling 240mm  X 4 core SWA's in on my own !!!....    etc etc     are now gone  ...I  gave some thought to PAT testing  and this  forthcoming  mandatory  rental property testing .     Thats as far as it wentTBH
