PAT Testing in Newcastle & the North East

It’s our job to keep you safe from faulty electrical equipment at work; electrical equipment used for work or business purposes must be maintained to prevent danger, and requires periodic inspections to ensure it is always safe to continue using. Making sure that is the case, is our job. We are PAT Testers. PAT testers check electrical equipment is safe through a series of electrical tests and visual inspections.

If an appliance needs repair to maintain safety standards, such as a rewire or replacement plug we do that free of charge to make it safe to continue using. If something is so bad we can’t fix it, we mark it as failed, report it to you and remove it from use, thus preventing danger. This is preventative maintenance and helps you to comply with UK Health and Safety Regulations.

To confirm the inspections we have done, we provide you with an itemised PAT Testing Certificate Report that lists every item tested, the test results and location of the appliance in the premises. The ID numbers on the report match the numbers on the labels we attach to the appliance, neatly and discreetly, and we remove the old labels first.

We have tested over 2million appliances for over 1500 clients in over 16 years of trading. Our team are all experienced, qualified engineers with enhanced DBS.

We Provide Every Client with a Fully Compliant PAT testing Service

When PAT testing is arranged, it should be simple and handled professionally from start to finish.

We take care of everything. Your equipment is tested thoroughly, any minor faults are dealt at the time of inspection, and you’re provided with clear documentation that reflects the work carried out.

You’ll know your equipment is safe, your records are in order, and everything has been done to the standard expected.

Experience that Shows in Our Work

We’ve been carrying out PAT testing for businesses across the North East for over 16 years.

In that time, we’ve worked with organisations of all sizes, from small local businesses to larger offices and manufacturers with ongoing requirements. Every job is approached with the same level of care and attention.

We’re members of CHAS and PATTA, and we stay up to date with current guidance so we can give clear, accurate advice on electrical safety, compliance and retest periods.

If you ever need help managing your electrical safety, equipment requirements, etc, we’re always happy to talk it through.

Another year and another PAT test at Forest Hall Bowling Club today. Ben from DRA arrived spot on time to carry out of the work in the usual professional and efficient manner. Great reliable service as always.
Great company to work with, the engineer turned up on time and tested all areas of the office with minimal disruption. Looking to book them in on a yearly basis so it is great to know they get the job done.
(Editing our review because we can't add a second review) 2026: DRA continue to be our go-to for PAT Testing! Norman has been our tester for the last 2 years and has continued to provide the friendly, professional and helpful service we have always received from DRA. Still great & still highly recommend. Thank you again 🙂 2024: DRA have been doing our PAT testing for a few years now and we have always received a professional and affordable service and Jane was no exception. She was friendly, helpful and professional (even with my million questions as I like to find out the hows and whys of everything!). I'd recommend DRA to anyone. Thank you again 🙂
