PAT testing in Wandsworth
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.
Earlsfield and Southfields between them hold a lot of furnished student and young-professional lets, and Wandsworth's HMO licensing conditions in this area typically require current PAT records. We test at tenancy changeover and provide the asset register in a format that carries over year to year, so the second year's test is quicker and cheaper. Commercial testing on Old York Road's shops and cafés we do before opening hours.
The property types we see in Wandsworth
The Tonsleys are 1850s–1870s two-up two-down cottages, small, solid-walled and with almost no floor void — which makes every cable run a chase. Southfields is the 1900s grid between the common and the district line, larger and mostly still whole houses. Earlsfield is smaller Victorian terrace, heavily converted to flats. The riverside developments — Ram Quarter, Wandsworth Riverside Quarter — are new-build with three-phase supplies, heat networks and, importantly for us, sprinkler and alarm interfaces that mean electrical work often has to be coordinated with the building's fire strategy.
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 Wandsworth
Wandsworth is our furthest patch and the response time reflects the traffic on Trinity Road and the one-way system rather than the mileage. Old York Road and the Tonsleys have very limited parking and narrow streets. The riverside blocks all require concierge sign-in and most require a permit to work for anything beyond a basic repair, which we handle but which needs a day's notice.
