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 Hillingdon 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.
PAT Testing in Hillingdon — local property context
Hillingdon is London's second-largest borough, covering 42 square miles, and the council says more than half of it is countryside. Heathrow Airport and RAF Northolt are both within its boundary. The council's 2025 housing tenure survey counts 113,124 residential properties across the borough, of which 29,099 are privately rented.
Private renting rose from 19.1% of households in 2011 to 25.9% in 2021, London's joint second-largest rise, the council says. In April 2025, 1,968 local landlords held LLAS accreditation. Our accredited PAT testers regularly test furnished lets and HMOs across the HA4, UB3, UB10, UB4, UB8, UB7, HA6, HA5, UB9 postcode areas, and carry out PAT Testing across Hillingdon for private landlords, letting agents and HMO operators.
