What Is PAT Testing?

PAT testing, short for Portable Appliance Testing, is the routine inspection and testing of electrical equipment that plugs into a socket. It checks that appliances, plugs, leads and fuses are safe to use. Each item is given a visual inspection and, where needed, electrical tests such as earth continuity and insulation resistance. It is then labelled pass or fail, and the results are recorded in a digital report.

How Much Does PAT Testing Cost in London?

Our PAT testing starts from £54.99 for up to 10 portable appliances, including pass or fail labels and a digital PAT test report. This suits most rented flats and houses, small offices and shops. For larger numbers of appliances, such as offices, HMOs and multi-unit portfolios, contact us for a quote based on the number of items.

Which Appliances Need PAT Testing?

TypeExamples
Kitchen appliancesKettles, toasters, microwaves, fridges and washing machines supplied with the property
Household itemsLamps, heaters, fans, vacuum cleaners, irons and hairdryers
IT and office equipmentComputers, monitors, printers, chargers and power supplies
Leads and adaptorsExtension leads, kettle leads and multi-way adaptors

In rented homes, only appliances supplied by the landlord need testing. Tenants are responsible for their own items.

Is PAT Testing a Legal Requirement?

No law names PAT testing as compulsory. However, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require employers to keep electrical equipment safe, and landlords must make sure any appliances they supply are safe at the start of a tenancy and throughout it. PAT testing is the most common way to show you have met these duties. Many HMO licences and insurers also ask for a current PAT record.

How Often Should PAT Testing Be Done?

There is no fixed legal interval. How often you test should depend on the type of equipment and how and where it is used, following the IET Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment. As a general guide:

  • Landlords: many test at the start of each new tenancy and then every year, especially in HMOs and furnished lets
  • Offices and shops: low-risk equipment is often tested every one to four years, with regular user checks in between
  • Hotels, kitchens and busy shared spaces: usually more frequent testing, as equipment is used more heavily

What is PAT testing?

PAT testing (Portable Appliance Testing) is the visual inspection and electrical testing of equipment that plugs into a socket, such as kettles, microwaves, lamps, extension leads and IT equipment. Each item is labelled pass or fail and recorded in a digital PAT test report.

No law names PAT testing as compulsory, but employers must keep electrical equipment safe under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, and landlords must make sure any appliances they supply are safe. PAT testing is the usual way to show you have met these duties, and many HMO licences and insurers ask for it.

There is no fixed legal interval. It depends on the type of equipment and how it is used. Many landlords test at the start of each tenancy and then yearly, while low-risk office equipment is often tested every one to four years.

Any portable electrical item supplied by the landlord or business, including kitchen appliances, heaters, lamps, vacuum cleaners, computers, chargers, extension leads and kettle leads. Tenants’ own appliances are their responsibility.

Each appliance usually takes a few minutes to inspect and test. A typical rented flat or small office with up to 10 appliances can normally be completed in a single short visit.

A failed item is labelled FAIL, recorded in your report with the reason, and should be taken out of use straight away. It can then be repaired or replaced, and retested before it is used again.
