PAT testing is a practical safety measure that landlords, business owners, and property managers use to confirm portable electrical appliances are safe for use. While the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 do not specifically name PAT testing, they place a duty of care on employers and landlords to maintain electrical equipment in safe condition. EICR Landlord Cert provides PAT testing across Hackney from just £69 with fixed pricing.
Our PAT testers are City and Guilds 2377 qualified, DBS checked, and carry full public liability insurance. We offer same-day inspection availability Monday to Friday for landlords and businesses needing portable appliance testing at short notice. Every appliance that passes receives a PAT test label, and your full report is issued once the testing is complete. We test everything from kettles and toasters to laptops and extension leads.
Portable appliance testing is the process of checking electrical appliances for safety through visual inspection and electrical testing. Landlords who provide appliances in rental properties have a responsibility to confirm those items are safe. The IET Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing sets out the recommended approach used across the UK.
During a PAT test, your tester carries out a visual inspection of each appliance, checking the plug, cable, and casing for damage, wear, or overheating. Electrical tests follow, including an earth continuity test, an insulation resistance test, and where applicable, a substitute leakage test. These confirm the appliance is safe and not presenting a risk of electric shock or fire.
Every appliance that passes receives a dated label showing it has been PAT tested. A full record is compiled into your PAT test report. Landlords receive this report once the testing is complete, providing a clear compliance record for letting agents, insurers, and tenants.
A landlord PAT test covers all portable electrical appliances supplied with a rental property.
Our service is priced from £69 and includes testing, labelling, and a full report issued once the testing is complete.
A PAT test certificate is the formal record of all portable appliances tested, showing pass or fail results for each item.

PAT testing stands for portable appliance testing. It involves inspecting and electrically testing portable appliances to confirm they are safe. Landlords and business owners use it to meet duty of care obligations under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
PAT testing is not specifically named in law, but the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require landlords to maintain electrical equipment safely. Landlords who supply appliances should arrange testing to demonstrate due diligence. Many insurance policies require regular testing.
PAT testing in Hackney costs from £69 with EICR Landlord Cert. The price depends on the number of appliances to be tested, and we provide a fixed quote before visiting. The price covers testing, labelling of all passed items, and your full report issued once the testing is complete.
The IET Code of Practice recommends testing at change of tenancy for rental properties or annually for higher-risk environments and workplaces. Office equipment typically needs testing every two to four years. Your tester will recommend the right frequency based on your appliances and environment.
Any portable appliance that plugs in and can be moved needs testing. This includes kettles, toasters, microwaves, fridges, washing machines, tumble dryers, vacuum cleaners, lamps, and extension leads. Fixed items like ovens are not covered.
Testing takes a few minutes per appliance. A standard rental property with five to ten items can usually be completed within 30 to 60 minutes. Larger commercial premises with more appliances take longer depending on quantity. Our testers work efficiently to minimise any disruption.
A PAT test includes a visual inspection of the appliance, plug, cable, and casing, followed by earth continuity, insulation resistance, and leakage tests where needed. Every appliance that passes receives a dated label. Your full report is issued once the testing is complete.
There is no fixed legal validity period for PAT test certificates. The IET Code of Practice recommends retesting based on appliance type and environment. For rental properties, testing at each tenancy change or annually is considered best practice. Your tester will advise on appropriate intervals.
Class I appliances have metal casings and rely on earthing for safety, such as kettles and washing machines. Class II appliances have double insulation without an earth connection, such as phone chargers and laptops. Both classes are tested during a PAT test but require different testing procedures.
Landlords who supply portable appliances should arrange testing to meet the duty of care under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. While not specifically named in law, it provides documented proof appliances are safe. Letting agents and insurers expect current records.
