PAT Test Certificates & Portable Appliance Testing in London

Are the electrical appliances in your rental property or office safe? Kettles, toasters, microwaves, computers, and extension leads can all pose a serious fire or shock risk if they become faulty.

As a landlord or business owner, you have a legal "duty of care" to ensure all electrical equipment you provide is safe for tenants or employees to use.

The most effective way to prove you have met this duty is with a PAT Test Certificate.

Energynorth.uk provides a fast, reliable, and affordable Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) service across London. Our City&Guilds certified engineers will test your items and provide a comprehensive report, giving you full compliance and peace of mind.

 What is a PAT Test?

PAT stands for Portable Appliance Testing. It is a routine inspection and testing process for any electrical appliance that can be moved and plugged into a socket.

The process involves two key parts:

1. Visual Inspection: Our engineer checks for a wide range of potential faults, including:

   • Damaged plugs or cracked casings

   • Frayed or damaged cables and wires

   • Incorrectly rated fuses

   • Signs of overheating or burn marks

2. Electrical Test: We use specialist PAT testing equipment to perform a series of tests, such as earth continuity, insulation resistance, and polarity.

Once complete, every item is given a clear "Pass" or "Fail" label.

Who Needs a PAT Test Certificate in London?

While the rules vary slightly, PAT testing is the established standard for proving electrical safety for several groups:

🧑‍💼 For Landlords & Letting Agents

Under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, you are legally required to ensure that the electrical installation and any supplied appliances are safe. A PAT test is the best way to demonstrate you have done this.

• Standard Rentals: It is best practice to have a PAT test conducted before the start of any new tenancy.

• HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation): For most HMOs, PAT testing is a mandatory condition of your license.

🏢 For Businesses & Employers

The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 state that employers must maintain electrical equipment in a safe condition. A regular PAT testing schedule is the only reliable way to comply with this law and ensure staff safety. This applies to all equipment, from office computers to workshop tools.

🏨 For Public Spaces

Shops, hotels, schools, and care homes all have a duty of care to the public and must ensure any appliances they provide (e.g., hotel room kettles, vacuums) are safe.
