What is PAT Testing?
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is the inspection and testing of portable electrical appliances — anything with a plug, from kettles and toasters to washing machines and lamps — to confirm they are safe to use. Our engineer visually inspects each appliance for damage, then carries out electrical safety tests including earth continuity and insulation resistance.
While not a named legal requirement, PAT Testing is the recognised way for landlords in Havering to demonstrate they have met their duty of care under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016. Most landlord insurance policies specifically require it for furnished lets.

Of 108,670 council tax properties, 28.0% were built between 1945 and 1964 (VOA 2025).
