PAT Testing in Gillingham

PAT testing in Gillingham is most commonly requested for furnished HMO properties and furnished family lets in the town's active rental market. Gillingham's high rental density and relatively high tenant turnover mean that appliances in furnished properties can be used intensively across successive tenancies — making regular PAT testing important for maintaining safety standards and creating an audit trail for landlords.

Medway Council's HMO licence conditions may specify PAT testing requirements for licensed properties, making it a direct compliance obligation for many Gillingham HMO landlords. For furnished lets across the town's estate and terrace stock, annual PAT testing demonstrates the landlord's duty of care in a market where appliance condition disputes can arise between successive tenancies.

We schedule PAT testing to minimise tenant disruption and provide a digital asset register suitable for both compliance files and HMO licence documentation.

What's Included

Everything covered in our PAT Testing service in Gillingham.

Visual Inspection of All Appliances

Thorough visual check of plugs, cables, fuses, appliance casings and cable entry points for damage, deterioration or unsafe modifications.

Earth Continuity Testing (Class I)

Earth continuity resistance testing on all Class I (earthed) appliances to confirm the protective earth is correctly connected and within acceptable resistance.

Insulation Resistance Testing

Digital record of all tested appliances with individual test results — provided in a format suitable for the landlord compliance file and HMO licence documentation.

Furnished Let and HMO Compliance

Testing completed to a standard that meets requirements for furnished rental properties, HMOs, commercial premises and landlord-supplied appliance compliance.

Common Electrical Issues Found During EICRs in Gillingham

The following issues reflect what is commonly encountered in Gillingham properties during PAT Testing inspection and testing.

Appliance Wear in High-Turnover Gillingham Rental Stock

High tenant turnover in Gillingham's furnished rental market accelerates appliance wear — deteriorated flex, damaged plug tops and failing internal connections — that PAT testing identifies and documents.

Unlabelled Appliances in HMO Properties

Furnished HMO properties in Gillingham often have appliances with no formal PAT test history — creating an audit trail gap that testing resolves.

Incorrectly Fused Plug Tops

Incorrectly rated fuses in plug tops are a common PAT finding in Gillingham's furnished rental stock — a simple but important safety issue identified during the visual inspection.

Earth Continuity Failures in Older Class I Appliances

Older Class I appliances with earthed metal casings sometimes fail earth continuity testing — a hidden safety issue that PAT testing identifies.
