PAT Testing for Caravan Parks in Merseyside and Cheshire

Caravan parks across Merseyside and Cheshire must make safety a top priority. That includes checking every plug, appliance, and socket. Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing) is the best way to do this.

We provide specialist PAT testing for holiday parks, static caravan parks, holiday lodges, and holiday home parks. Our service covers the full Merseyside and Cheshire area. With fully certified engineers and flexible scheduling, we help you stay compliant and protect your guests.

Why PAT Testing Matters for Holiday Parks

Whether you own a small family-run caravan park or manage a large holiday home park, electrical safety is essential. PAT testing checks that all appliances are safe to use and helps you meet legal and insurance requirements.

Guests expect a high standard of accommodation. A faulty appliance can not only spoil their stay but also cause serious harm. Fires, electric shocks, and failed inspections can all be traced back to neglected electrics. PAT testing offers peace of mind and proves your commitment to safety.

What Needs PAT Testing in a Static Caravan?

Any portable electrical item with a plug should be tested. In static caravans and holiday lodges, this includes everything from toasters and kettles to TVs and fridges. Even fixed-in-place items, like built-in microwaves, must be tested if they can be unplugged.

While some equipment might seem low-risk, all appliances wear down over time. Power surges, guest misuse, and the changing seasons can all affect performance. Regular testing ensures your site meets the necessary safety standards year-round.

How Often Should Holiday Lodges Be Tested?

The frequency of PAT testing depends on how often appliances are used. If your park operates a hire fleet, we recommend annual testing. These units see a lot of use and need to be kept in top condition.

Privately owned lodges or static caravan parks with seasonal use may not need such regular testing. However, we usually suggest testing at least once every two years. Areas with shared facilities, like clubhouses or laundrettes, should be tested more often due to higher traffic and public use.

What to Expect From Our PAT Testing Service For A Caravan Park

When you book with us, we begin with a brief consultation to understand your layout and the number of units needing testing. Our engineers then carry out on-site tests with minimal disruption to your operations.

Each appliance is clearly labelled with a pass or fail result. After testing, you’ll receive a full digital certificate for your records, which can be used for insurance or health and safety inspections.

We aim to work around your park’s schedule. Whether it's during a changeover day or the quieter winter months, we ensure a smooth, efficient process from start to finish.

Serving Merseyside's Holiday Parks

We cover all types of caravan parks across Merseyside, from the Wirral to Southport and coastal villages in between. Whether your park is close to the beach or tucked away in the countryside, our mobile engineers can reach you with ease.

We frequently work in areas such as Formby, Crosby, St Helens, New Brighton, and Ainsdale. Each park has its own layout and challenges. Our experience working with static caravan parks and holiday lodges means we understand how to work quickly, cleanly, and safely—no matter the site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PAT testing a legal requirement for caravan parks? There’s no specific law that says you must do PAT testing. But you are legally required to keep electrical equipment safe. PAT testing is the most reliable way to show you’ve done that.

Can testing be done while guests are staying on-site? Yes, but it’s often easier to test during changeover days or off-peak periods. That way, we avoid interrupting your guests and can work more efficiently.

What if an item fails the test?

If an appliance fails, we’ll label it clearly and explain why. You can then repair or replace it before it goes back into service.

When Is the Best Time to Book?

The ideal time for PAT testing is just before your busy season begins. For many holiday parks, that means late winter or early spring. Testing at this time ensures all your appliances are ready for the year ahead.

If you prefer, we can also arrange autumn testing. This suits some sites better, especially those with fewer winter bookings. We’ll always try to work around your calendar and peak periods.
