PAT testing in Streatham
Portable appliance testing for landlords, HMOs, offices and shops. Priced per item, done out of hours.
From £75
minimum charge, then £2.50 per item. Out-of-hours at no extra cost.
Streatham's rental market is more family-let and less furnished-share than the rest of our patch, so PAT volumes are lower and jobs are usually a single property rather than a portfolio. Where it does come up is the mansion blocks along Streatham Hill, a high proportion of which are let furnished, and the small commercial units along Streatham High Road — shops, salons and cafés — which we test before opening hours at no extra charge.
The property types we see in Streatham
The 1930s semis around Streatham Vale and Furzedown are the defining stock — bay-fronted, cavity-walled, with generous loft space and accessible floor voids, which makes them the easiest properties on our patch to work in. Their weakness is the vintage of their last upgrade: a great many were partially rewired in the 1970s or early 80s, which means PVC cable that is genuinely old, wall-mounted fuse boxes of that era, and lighting circuits with no earth. Telford Park is larger Edwardian housing, much of it still whole houses. Streatham Hill has interwar mansion blocks with communal risers and, in several cases, original 1930s intake positions still in service.
What pat testing involves
PAT testing is £2.50 per item with a £75 minimum, and we test out of hours so an office or shop does not lose a day. Landlords must ensure appliances they supply are safe; for a furnished let that usually means testing at the start of each tenancy.

Getting to you in Streatham
Streatham is the furthest south we go and the response time reflects the run down the A23. Parking is markedly easier than the rest of the patch — much of SW16 is uncontrolled or lightly controlled, and most 1930s houses have a driveway, which makes van access simple and keeps costs down. The Streatham Hill mansion blocks need porter access for intake cupboards.
