Common questions
Do holiday lets legally need PAT testing?
Landlords and owners have a duty of care under electrical safety regulations. PAT testing is the standard way to demonstrate portable appliances are safe for guests. Many insurers and booking platforms expect evidence of regular testing.
How often should short-term rental appliances be tested?
Most holiday properties benefit from annual testing, or before each season if usage is heavy. Kitchens, outdoor equipment, and high-turnover properties may need shorter intervals — we advise based on your setup.
Can you test between guest bookings?
Yes. We schedule around changeover windows and can attend multiple properties in one route across Cornwall or Devon to keep costs down.
