Appliance Safety Proof for Every Tenancy
Supplied a washing machine, kettle, or lamp with your rental? You're responsible for it. We test every appliance, certificate it, and keep a live per-property record your insurer, agent, and HMO licence officer can rely on.
Why landlords choose Test Harbour
More than a sticker on a plug — a compliance record that follows each property, tenancy after tenancy.
Proof for deposits & disputes
A dated, itemised record of every appliance you supply — evidence if a tenant dispute ever reaches adjudication.
Insurance-ready certificates
Most landlord policies expect evidence of electrical safety. Download your certificate and audit pack any time.
Whole-portfolio dashboard
Every property in one login with per-property compliance status — built for landlords with more than one door.
Retest reminders, handled
Email alerts before certificates lapse, so a tenancy changeover never catches you uncovered.
Works alongside your EICR
PAT covers the appliances your fixed-wire EICR does not. Together they close the electrical safety loop.
Letting agent friendly
Shareable reports your agent can file against the tenancy — no chasing paperwork at renewal time.
Portfolio pricing that scales
Single rentals from £89 fixed — typical rental properties have under 30 supplied appliances. Multiple properties routed into one visit keep per-door costs low for portfolios and agents.

Common questions
Do landlords legally need PAT testing?
If you supply electrical appliances with a tenancy — kettles, washing machines, lamps, white goods — you have a duty under the Landlord and Tenant Act and Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations to ensure they are safe. PAT testing is the recognised way to evidence that. HMOs face stricter licensing conditions that commonly require it explicitly.
Is PAT testing the same as an EICR?
No. An EICR inspects the fixed wiring and is legally required every 5 years for rentals. PAT testing covers the portable appliances you provide. Insurers and HMO licences often expect both.
How often should rental appliances be tested?
Annually is the norm for rentals, or at each change of tenancy for high-turnover properties. We recommend a schedule per property and remind you automatically before it lapses.
Can you test multiple properties in one visit?
Yes — we route multiple properties across Devon and Cornwall into one trip, which keeps the per-property cost down for portfolio landlords and agents.
