ELECTRICAL & PAT TESTING.It is important to regularly test portable appliances (PAT testing), the inspection of electrical systems cannot be understated. By carrying out regular inspections enables us to pre-empt any damage or defects which could lead to damage and potentially endanger lives. As a guide, public buildings, offices, and leisure centres need to be inspected every year; industrial and agricultural premises every three years; and commercial, educational and residential premises every five years.

LANDLORD SAFETY CERTIFICATE
|
It is important to ensure that all electrical appliances and fittings within a property are safe and in good working order. Unlike gas regulations, there is no law that says you must have a landlord electrical certificate. But should any electrical fitting or appliances within your rental property cause harm to a tenant you could be held liable.
