What is PAT Testing?

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is the process of checking electrical appliances for safety. For businesses, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require electrical equipment to be kept safe, and PAT testing is the usual way to show it. Private landlords have no specific PAT law, but any appliance you supply must be safe — and many HMO licences, letting agents and insurers ask for PAT records.

Who We PAT Test For

What Our PAT Testing Includes

Our Prices

Prices are the total — no VAT added. Fixed price confirmed when you book.

Landlords: add PAT testing to your gas safety certificate and EICR visit — all three on the same day. See landlord packages.

How It Works

How often?

There’s no single fixed interval — it depends on the type of equipment and how it’s used. The IET Code of Practice suggests shorter intervals for equipment that is moved around or used hard (for example on building sites or in kitchens) and longer ones for low-risk office equipment. Landlords commonly test between tenancies, and many HMO licences set their own requirement.

Do landlords legally need PAT testing?+

There is no specific law requiring private landlords to PAT test, but any appliance you supply must be safe. PAT testing is the usual way to show this, and many HMO licences, letting agents and insurers ask for PAT records.

Do businesses need PAT testing?+

The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require businesses to keep electrical equipment in a safe condition. The law does not say how, but PAT testing is the most common way to show you have done it.

How often should appliances be PAT tested?+

It depends on the equipment and how it is used. The IET Code of Practice suggests more frequent checks for equipment that is moved around or heavily used, and less frequent checks for low-risk office equipment.

What happens if an item fails?+

It is labelled as failed and should not be used. We explain why, and many faults such as a damaged plug, fuse or lead can be fixed and re-tested on the same visit.

When do I get the certificate?+

The same day, together with a full register of every appliance tested.
