Holiday Let PAT Testing
Keep the appliances your guests use safe and on record, holiday let PAT testing from £50, scheduled around changeovers across the Peak District and Derbyshire.
Guest safety, simply handled
A holiday cottage holds far more appliances than most homes, all used by different guests week after week. Keeping them safe protects your guests, your reviews and your standing with booking platforms and insurers.
We test around your changeovers, replace faulty plugs and fuses on the spot at no extra charge, and send a same-day certificate, holiday lets start from £50. For the full method, read how we carry out PAT testing.
From the kettle to the hot tub controls
Kettles, toasters, microwaves, fridges, ovens where portable, televisions, hairdryers, lamps, portable heaters, vacuum cleaners and extension leads, plus the bits unique to lets, like welcome-tray appliances and laundry equipment. We cover holiday cottages, self-catering accommodation, guest houses, B&Bs and glamping sites.
If you also let property long-term, see our landlord PAT testing page.
Running a B&B or small guest house?
Small Paying Guest Accommodation (SPGA), B&Bs, guest houses and small inns, is a different job to a self-catering cottage. Rooms turn over every night rather than once a week, several guests are using the appliances in their rooms at the same time, and there's usually a working breakfast kitchen, toasters, kettles, coffee machines, in daily use. We test every room individually plus the breakfast kitchen and any communal areas, and can schedule around your check-in and check-out times. Read our full guide to PAT testing for B&Bs and SPGA.
Minimal disruption, same-day certificate
We slot testing into a changeover or a quiet window so it never costs you a booking, and you get a digital certificate and itemised report the same day. Many owners book an annual visit before the busy season.
What we find in holiday lets
Tested a luxury stone cottage rental near Castleton, checking 35 appliances including hot tub pumps and smart TVs. Discovered a bedside lamp with a loose, flickering switch mechanism that failed visual inspection, and the entire visit took two hours.
