About Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)

As a landlord or HMO property manager, you're legally responsible for ensuring that any electrical appliances you supply are safe to use. That’s where our Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) service comes in—designed specifically for rented homes, shared accommodation, and licensed HMOs across Nottingham and the East Midlands.

PAT testing involves a combination of visual checks and specialist electrical testing of portable appliances such as kettles, toasters, microwaves, lamps, extension leads, and white goods like fridges or washing machines. These checks help identify faults, wear and tear, or hidden dangers before they cause a shock, fire, or injury.

We provide fast, reliable, and fully certified PAT testing carried out by qualified electricians. After testing, you’ll receive a detailed report and compliance certificate—ideal for HMO licensing renewals, tenancy documentation, safety audits, or insurance purposes.

How often is PAT testing required for landlords and HMOs?

• For HMO properties, it is strongly recommended to carry out PAT testing at least every 12 months.
• For single-tenancy rented homes, a testing cycle of every 2 years is often considered reasonable, but yearly checks are advised if appliances are used heavily or changed frequently between tenants.

Our service is designed to be hassle-free: we work around your tenants, offer flexible scheduling, and provide documentation in digital format for your records.

Whether you're a landlord with one property or a letting agent managing a portfolio, PAT testing is a simple way to demonstrate your commitment to safety and meet your legal responsibilities.
