Certified PAT Testing for Tenanted and Managed Properties
We provide a fully managed PAT testing service for landlords, letting agents, and property managers across North Cambridgeshire, helping you keep rental properties safe, compliant, and professionally maintained.
We ensure portable electrical appliances in your properties are tested, labelled, and documented with minimal disruption to tenants or void periods.
PAT testing designed for rental properties
Rental properties often contain a mix of landlord-provided appliances and portable electrical items that are used by tenants on a daily basis.
Because these items may be used in different ways by different occupants over time, regular PAT testing and inspections helps support responsible property management and tenant safety.
We work with:
- Private landlords
- Letting agents
- HMO and shared accommodation providers
- Holiday and short-term rental operators
- Property management companies
We adapt our service around occupied homes, changeovers, or empty properties depending on what is most convenient.
Electrical appliances commonly tested in rental properties
We regularly test portable electrical equipment supplied in rental homes, including:
- Kettles, toasters, and microwaves
- Fridges, freezers, and washing machines (where portable/plug-in)
- Portable heaters and fans
- Extension leads and adaptors
- Lamps and portable lighting
- Televisions and entertainment equipment (where applicable)
- Vacuum cleaners and cleaning equipment
- Chargers and small electrical appliances
We identify damaged cables, faulty plugs, or unsafe appliances before they present a risk to tenants or property.
Flexible service for landlords and letting agents
We understand that managing rental properties involves coordinating tenants, access arrangements, and changeover periods.
That’s why we offer a flexible, practical service designed to make the process simple.
We provide:
- Testing during void periods or with tenant access arranged
- Coordination with letting agents or property managers
- Flexible scheduling across single or multiple properties
- Efficient on-site testing with minimal disruption
- Clear communication throughout the process
Whether you manage one property or a full portfolio, we scale to your needs.

Our service includes:
- Full inspection and PAT testing of portable electrical appliances
- Clear pass/fail labelling of all tested items
- Digital or printed certification for compliance and insurance records
- Organised documentation suitable for property records and audits
- Simple reminders for future testing cycles
Everything is structured, recorded, and easy to manage across your portfolio.
Supporting landlord compliance and duty of care
While PAT testing is not always a specific legal requirement for landlords, it is widely recognised as good practice to help demonstrate electrical safety and support your duty of care to tenants.
Regular testing helps landlords:
- Support tenant safety and wellbeing
- Reduce risk of electrical faults in rental properties
- Provide documentation for insurance and compliance checks
- Demonstrate responsible property management
- Maintain clear records across multiple properties
It also provides reassurance that landlord-supplied appliances are safe to use.

Frequently asked questions
Is PAT testing required for rental properties?
There is no specific legal requirement for PAT testing, but landlords have a duty of care to ensure electrical appliances supplied in rental properties are safe to use.
How often should rental property appliances be tested?
This depends on usage and tenancy turnover. Many landlords choose to test during void periods or on regular maintenance cycles.
Can testing be done while tenants are in the property?
Yes. We can arrange access directly with tenants or work through letting agents to minimise disruption.
What happens if an appliance fails testing?
Any failed items are clearly labelled and documented so they can be repaired or replaced before further use.
