PAT Testing in Wrotham

Wrotham is a historic village on the North Downs, sitting below Wrotham Hill at the junction of the A20 and A25. The housing includes period village properties and 20th-century residential development. The village is conveniently positioned for Sevenoaks, Borough Green and Maidstone, and the M20/A20 provides road access to London.

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is required for landlord-supplied electrical appliances in furnished rental properties across Wrotham. While there is no statutory testing interval specified for domestic lets, the duty of care placed on landlords to ensure appliances are safe supports regular PAT testing — particularly for furnished lets and HMOs where multiple appliances are in regular tenant use.

For Wrotham landlords managing furnished properties, PAT testing provides documented evidence that portable appliances have been inspected and tested at a defined point. For HMO licence compliance in particular, some councils include PAT testing requirements within their standard licence conditions. We carry out PAT testing to a standard that satisfies HMO licensing requirements and produces individual appliance records suitable for the landlord compliance file.
