Every appliance individually tested, labelled, photographed and added to your digital asset register, so when an inspector or insurer asks, the proof is one click away.
Combined visual and electrical inspection of portable, movable and stationary appliances under the IET Code of Practice (5th Edition), producing a per-appliance pass/fail record.
HMO landlords (legally required in licensed HMOs in Wales since 2022), offices, shops, schools, hospitality, manufacturers, anywhere employees or tenants plug in equipment supplied by the duty-holder.
On new tenancies in HMOs, at intervals set by the risk assessment (typically 12–24 months), after equipment repair, or after relocation that may have damaged a flex.
Defective portable equipment is a leading cause of electrical fires. PAT testing finds the failing kettle before it ignites the kitchen, and proves the duty-holder did their job.
Wales HMO PAT testing is mandatory under the 2022 regulations. No record = no defence after an incident, and an open door for licence enforcement.
We agree a rough item count and a sensible appointment window, typically one engineer can complete 70–100 items per day in occupied spaces.
Every item checked for damage, suitability and correct fuse rating before any electrical test.
Earth continuity, insulation resistance and polarity tests using calibrated PAT testers; results stored per appliance, not just pass/fail.
Pass labels with date, engineer ID and next-test date; failed items removed from service or repaired on site where safe.
Digital register with appliance ID, location, test results and photo, plus a top-line certificate for the duty-holder.
Wales HMO Regulations 2022, EAW Regulations 1989, PUWER 1998, one visit, all bases covered.
Asset register accepted by every UK commercial insurer we have ever been asked to evidence to.
Failures are traced to the exact item, not just a building total.
Engineers work around tenants and staff; appliances are unplugged for 30 seconds, not hours.
Per-item pricing published before the visit. No 'we're here, might as well charge extra' surprises.
Letting agents and portfolios see next-due dates and certificates per property in one screen.
PAT testing is misunderstood, most cheap visits skip the electrical readings entirely and just slap stickers on. Below is what a compliant 5th-edition Code of Practice test actually involves.
Class I appliances rely on an earth conductor for safety and must be earth-continuity tested. Class II appliances are double-insulated and tested for insulation resistance only. Misclassifying a Class I as a Class II is the most common report falsification we see.
There is no single statutory interval. Risk-based intervals from the IET Code of Practice typically give: offices 12–48 months, hotels and HMOs 12–24 months, construction site equipment 3 months. Tenant-supplied items in HMOs should be tested at every tenancy change.
Microwave leakage is a separate test, required in catering and HMO kitchens; failure can mean prolonged low-level exposure to occupants. We carry the meter on every visit.
Detachable leads (kettle leads, IEC leads) and extension reels are tested as individual items with their own asset ID. A failed lead must not be reissued to a passed appliance.
Battery products themselves are out of scope; their chargers and docking stations are in scope and tested as Class II at the plug end.
Minor failures (damaged plug, frayed flex) repaired on the spot for items the duty-holder owns; otherwise removed from service with a written report. Tenant items never repaired without consent.
