DRA PAT Testing have been providing electrical equipment inspection and testing services across the North East of England since our formation in 2009. We are currently leading the way in our region, showcasing how we help our clients maintain safe equipment in their workplace.

We are confident in our ability to help you maintain safe electrical equipment, and have over 500 5-star  reviews to support that.

Based from our North Shields office we cover Newcastle, Sunderland and Durham, etc.

If you only have a few items and are local, you can bring the equipment to our office (by appointment), but for all other work we come to you to inspect your electrical equipment, in-situ.

• All our engineers are uniformed, qualified and have enhanced DBS.
• We pride ourselves on being professional, reliable and always on time – we will give you a designated appointment time when we book the job

We carry our repairs automatically and for free, including replacing plugs and fuses, and following completion of our inspections we provide you with a fully comprehensive PAT Testing Certificate Report, and set you up on a managed retest programme to ensure you always remain compliant with the latest safety legislation and guidance.

The Electricity at Work Regulations require all workplaces to ensure electrical equipment provided for use at work (which also refers to home-workers and equipment in other business premises such as rental properties) is safe to use at all times, and requires you as the ‘duty holder’ of a ‘business’ to ensure that equipment maintains the required safety standards at all times.

In the UK, we use a process called PAT Testing (formerly Portable Appliance Testing and now sometimes referred to as Electrical Equipment Testing) to check to see if electrical appliances are safe for use, which reduces the risk of electric shocks, fires, and other accidents. Regular PAT testing also helps you to comply with health and safety regulations.

Whilst PAT testing itself isn’t a legal requirement, UK law requires electrical equipment be maintained to prevent danger – PAT testing is regarded at the most effective way to meet this obligation.

So, assuming you want your business (or organisation, etc) to comply with the latest safety regulations, then you need to get your electrical equipment PAT tested.

We don’t mess about – our standards are high all the time, and there’s no fuss, we keep things simple:

• PAT Testing Certificate Reports are issued quickly after the job (sometimes same day), as a PDF by email
• Reports include the electrical test readings that you need to comply with investigations (most companies don’t provide this)
• Remedial repairs are carried out automatically, and free, such as rewires, plug parts, replacement fuses and BS1363 ’13a’ plugs
• We provide guidance on retest periods, and book you in for next inspections with reminders sent nearer the time
• Thermal image checks on servers and other items that can’t be turned off
• Over 15 years experience of testing for over 1500 clients, and over 1.5 Million appliances.

All our engineers are qualified and competent; we are accredited by CHAS, members of PATTA, hold enhanced DBS and are security vetted by Durham Police.

Arranging a PAT test is super easy, all you need to do is get in touch. Then we’ll get the info we need, organise a price and arrange a date to carry out the work. If we feel the need we may visit your site in advance, to do a pre-job survey, which will help us both plan the job.

Please note, we’re in demand, we have a big team, but our diary fills fast, so don’t wait until the last minute, we’ll need plenty of notice to get you booked in. Usually we work on an 8 weeks in advance diary.

We do PAT work for all kinds of locations, from people who work from home right through shops, salons, offices, schools and into heavy industry, building sites etc. so whatever it is you need, we can help. You can even bring your gear to us.
