Professional PAT Testing for Landlords, Managing Agents & Housing Providers
HRT Electrical & Security Services provides Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) across the West Midlands and surrounding areas, supporting landlords, managing agents, councils, supported accommodation providers, and serviced accommodation operators.
PAT Testing forms part of a risk-based electrical safety regime, helping duty holders ensure that electrical appliances are safe for continued use while meeting their legal and moral responsibilities.
What is PAT Testing?
PAT Testing involves the inspection and testing of portable electrical appliances to identify potential electrical hazards such as damaged cables, faulty plugs, or internal defects that could cause electric shock or fire.
While the law does not specify fixed testing intervals, it requires electrical equipment to be maintained in a safe condition. PAT testing is a recognised and widely accepted method of demonstrating compliance.
