PAT Testing Leicester | Landlords & Letting Agents
Professional portable appliance testing for Leicester landlords, letting agents and businesses. Clear reporting and appliance safety records to support responsible property management.
Do Landlords Need PAT Testing?
In England, there is no blanket legal requirement for every private landlord to obtain an annual PAT certificate. However, landlords are responsible for ensuring electrical appliances they supply are safe. Additional requirements may apply under local HMO licensing conditions or specific agreements.
PAT Testing can support appliance safety management for:
• Furnished rental properties
• HMOs and student accommodation
• Serviced accommodation
• Agent-managed portfolios
CRS Matrix provides visual inspections, appropriate electrical tests and clear reports for landlords and letting agents across Leicester and Leicestershire.

What Does PAT Testing Include?
Testing is selected according to the appliance type and its construction. Our service includes:
• Visual checks of plugs, leads, casings and signs of damage
• Appropriate electrical tests, such as earth continuity and insulation resistance where applicable
• Appliance identification and recorded test outcomes
• Pass/fail labelling as appropriate
• A digital report of the appliances inspected and tested
• Advice on failed or damaged items
Replacement plugs or fuses can be quoted separately where suitable. Not every electrical test applies to every appliance.
Need Other Compliance Services Too?
Need a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), EICR, boiler service or another property compliance service? You can request multiple services together through CRS Matrix. Simply select the services you need when booking. We’ll coordinate the appointments, with separate visits arranged where required.

PAT Testing Frequently Asked Questions
How much does PAT Testing cost?
Domestic testing starts at £95 including VAT for up to 10 appliances, or £120 for up to 20. Commercial testing starts at £150 including VAT for up to 20 appliances. Additional items are priced separately as shown above.
How often should PAT Testing be done?
There is no universal annual interval for every rental property. The appropriate frequency depends on the appliances, their use, condition and any relevant licensing or contractual requirements.
Is PAT Testing a legal requirement for landlords?
Not automatically for every private rental in England. Landlords must nevertheless ensure the appliances they provide are safe, and particular licensing conditions may specify testing or evidence.
Is PAT Testing the same as an EICR?
No. PAT Testing concerns portable electrical appliances; an EICR assesses the fixed electrical installation. CRS Matrix can arrange both as separate appointments.
Does the tenant need to be home?
Not necessarily. We can coordinate access with the tenant or managing agent.
What happens if an appliance fails?
We record the outcome and advise that unsafe equipment is removed from use until it is repaired or replaced appropriately.
Can I access my records digitally?
Relevant test reports can be retained with the property’s other compliance records through MyMatrixHub®.
What should landlords look for when choosing a property compliance partner?
Look beyond the price of a PAT test. A dependable compliance partner should help arrange access, communicate with tenants, explain appliance-testing results and coordinate other checks when needed. CRS Matrix offers PAT Testing alongside gas safety, EICRs and other landlord services in Leicester. With MyMatrixHub®, landlords and agents can keep relevant inspection records and property history together, making ongoing compliance easier to manage.
