PAT testing in the area safeguards your tenants against unsafe portable electrical appliances and protects you from legal liability. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 together impose a duty of care on landlords to keep all electrical equipment in a safe condition. HMO landlords in the area frequently need PAT test evidence as a licensing condition. EICR Landlord Cert provides PAT testing across North London from £69, with a fixed price and no hidden fees.
Our engineers hold City and Guilds 2377 qualifications and carry full DBS checks. Public liability insurance covers every job. Each appliance is visually inspected and electrically tested, including earth continuity, insulation resistance, and substitute leakage checks. A pass or fail label goes on every item, and your PAT test certificate is issued once the testing is complete. Same-day inspections are available Monday to Friday.
Portable appliance testing in the area is the process of verifying that plug-in electrical equipment is safe to use. PAT covers any appliance with a plug that can be moved: kettles, microwaves, toasters, fridges, washing machines, televisions, computers, lamps, heaters, extension leads, and phone chargers all fall within scope.
The test has two parts. First, the engineer visually inspects every appliance, examining the plug, cable, and outer casing for damage, wear, or overheating. Second, electrical tests are run with a calibrated PAT tester, covering earth continuity, insulation resistance, and substitute leakage.
Appliances are split into Class I (earthed, such as kettles and washing machines) and Class II (double insulated, such as phone chargers and laptop adapters). Each class requires a different set of tests. Once testing is finished, every appliance gets a pass or fail label showing the test date and next due date. All results are recorded on your PAT test certificate.
As a North London landlord, you have a duty of care to make sure every appliance you supply to tenants is safe.
EICR Landlord Cert makes PAT testing simple and affordable for landlords managing one property or an entire portfolio.
No single statute names PAT testing explicitly, but several regulations combined create a clear legal expectation for landlords.
Landlords who supply untested appliances risk significant legal claims if a tenant is injured.
PAT testing in the area costs from £69 with EICR Landlord Cert. The price depends on the number of appliances at the property. A one-bedroom flat with 10 to 15 items sits at the lower end, while a larger HMO or fully furnished property with 30-plus appliances will cost more. We confirm the exact price before booking, so there are no surprises.
Landlords with multiple properties can use our portfolio pricing to bring the per-property cost down. Combining PAT testing with an EICR or gas safety inspection in one visit also saves time and money by cutting out additional appointments.
We also provide EICR certificates, Gas Safety certificates, and EPC certificates for North London landlords. Booking several compliance services at once gives you the best overall price.
How often you need PAT testing depends on the appliance type and the environment, as outlined in the IET Code of Practice.
Landlords should set up a regular PAT testing schedule that ties in with their tenancy changeover dates.
A PAT test certificate is your documented proof that every portable appliance at the property has been tested and confirmed safe.

HMO landlords in the area face tighter appliance safety requirements than those letting standard residential properties. If your property holds an HMO licence, the local authority will almost certainly demand evidence of regular PAT testing as part of the conditions. Licence holders must show that every electrical appliance in communal areas has been tested and is safe.
Communal kitchens and utility rooms see far heavier appliance use than a typical single let. Kettles, microwaves, washing machines, tumble dryers, and vacuum cleaners used daily by multiple tenants wear out faster. This makes regular PAT testing more important. The IET Code of Practice specifically calls for shorter testing intervals in shared or higher-risk environments.
Our engineers handle HMO PAT testing right across the area. We test every appliance in every room, label each one, and produce a certificate that satisfies your HMO licence requirements. Any appliance that is beyond economical repair is flagged so you can replace it before a problem occurs.
Class I and Class II appliances need different electrical tests during PAT testing, so understanding the distinction matters.
Every appliance at your property is tested to the standard its class requires.
An appliance safety test at your property covers every plug-in item you supply to tenants under the tenancy agreement.

PAT testing is Portable Appliance Testing, the process of checking plug-in electrical equipment for safety. Although no single law names it directly, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 oblige landlords to keep electrical equipment safe. HMO landlords in the area frequently need PAT certificates for licensing, and all landlords who provide appliances should test them regularly.
PAT testing in North London starts at £69 with EICR Landlord Cert. The price depends on the number of appliances. A flat with 10 to 15 items is at the lower end, while larger or fully furnished properties cost more. We confirm the fixed price before booking, with no call-out fees or hidden charges for any property in the area.
The IET Code of Practice recommends annual PAT testing for appliances in residential rental properties. HMO landlords may need to test more often due to heavier use in shared kitchens and communal areas. New appliances do not usually need immediate testing but should be included in the next round. Testing at every tenancy changeover is good practice.
Every portable electrical appliance supplied by the landlord should be tested. That includes kettles, toasters, microwaves, fridges, washing machines, tumble dryers, televisions, lamps, heaters, extension leads, phone chargers, and vacuum cleaners. If it has a plug and you provide it as part of the tenancy, it should be tested under the IET Code of Practice.
No single law names PAT testing specifically. However, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 together create a duty of care for landlords providing appliances. For HMO landlords in the area, PAT testing is often an explicit licensing condition. All landlords who supply appliances should test them.
PAT testing on a typical flat in the area with 10 to 15 appliances takes around 30 to 45 minutes. Larger properties and HMOs with more appliances can take up to two hours. Our City and Guilds 2377 qualified engineers test, label, and document every item in a single visit. Your certificate is issued once the testing is complete.
A failed appliance is labelled and must be removed from use immediately. Common failure causes include broken earth connections, damaged cable insulation, and faulty plugs. Our engineer logs the failure on the certificate and advises whether the item should be repaired or replaced. Tenants must stop using any appliance that has failed.
North London landlords who supply portable appliances should arrange PAT testing to satisfy their duty of care under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. HMO landlords typically need PAT certificates as a licensing requirement. Even for standard lets, annual testing protects the landlord from liability if a tenant is injured by a faulty supplied appliance.
A PAT test includes a visual inspection of the plug, cable, and casing, followed by electrical tests with a calibrated instrument. Tests cover earth continuity for Class I appliances, insulation resistance, and substitute leakage current. Each appliance receives a pass or fail label, and all results are recorded on the PAT test certificate.
Class I appliances have an earth connection and a three-pin plug, like kettles, washing machines, and electric heaters. Class II appliances are double insulated with no earth wire, such as laptop chargers and some table lamps. Each class requires different electrical tests during PAT testing, as set out in BS EN 62353 and the IET Code of Practice.
