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 Lewisham 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 Lewisham — local property context
Older terraced housing makes up a large part of Lewisham's stock, alongside flats in converted houses. Council tax records date 27.7% of properties to before 1900 (VOA 2025). At the 2021 Census, 26.2% of households lived in a terraced house and 16.3% in a flat in a converted or shared house.
At the 2021 Census, 33,289 Lewisham households rented privately. As of October 2026, selective licensing covers the borough except Telegraph Hill and part of Blackheath, and HMO licensing covers all of it. Our accredited PAT testers regularly test furnished lets and HMOs across the SE6, SE13, SE23, SE8, SE4, SE14, SE26, SE12, BR1, SE3 postcode areas, and carry out PAT Testing across Lewisham for private landlords, letting agents and HMO operators.
