DRA were professional from the first contact. They fixed a time and date with my tenants to complete the PAT test and kept me informed. They turned up on time and left the flat tidy and the tenants happy. I was contacted to advise that everything was completed and the invoice was sent promptly, as requested.As a landlord, it's important that my tenants have minimum disruption to their lives, so I was delighted with the service provided and will definitely by using DRA again.

Under UK Law you must maintain safe electrical equipment at work
Many small businesses don’t even know they need to maintain safe electrical equipment, many never know about it until it’s too late. Big companies know because they employ safety personnel, but the rest of us don’t have such easy access to all this information, which is where we can help you.
As specialists in electrical safety, especially where electrical equipment is concerned, we can guide you in the best practices to maintain a safe workplace for your staff, customers, guests, etc.
We are based in Newcastle upon Tyne and cover the North East region. Most of our work is in Tyne and Wear and southern Northumberland, but wherever you are we can help. Even if you’re outside the area and just need a bit of advise, get in touch.
We offer great value PAT Testing, including free minor repairs, and will get the PAT Testing Certificate Report to you within a few days; even the same day if necessary.
We are registered members of CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Scheme) and PATTA (Portable Appliance Testing Trade Association)
“I’ve ran a coffee shop on Tynemouth front street for years; I’d never heard of PAT testing then one day we had a small fire. The fire brigade told us about the need to get our electrical equipment PAT tested to prevent fires. We found Richard on Google; he had loads of great reviews so we got in touch. We couldn’t be happier. We still weren’t really sure what was involved so Richard came to see us; we had a coffee and talked about our fire and Richard helped us understand what was needed. A few days later he came back and did the job. We were really impressed, seeing him checking inside plugs, cleaning grease off some of the kitchen appliances! We now feel really safe that our equipment is safe. We have a lovely certificate to prove it too, and the we passed our fire inspection!”.
PAT Testing in Newcastle and the North East
Health and Safety guidance isn’t so easy to come by for small businesses, so we try to use our own experiences to help others.
As a business we love working with other local businesses; shops on the local high street, cafe’s, coffee shops, offices, doctors surgeries, dentists, landlords, small schools and so on. We like it because we can help, and we feel valued.
Electrical safety is really important but because business owners don’t know that much about it, it gets forgotten about, but we can help. You don’t need to know everything about it, just like I don’t need to know how to grind coffee beans for my Americano, but like I know I need a coffee every day, you should know that getting your electrical equipment PAT tested every year (or a different frequency) is the best way to maintain safe electrical equipment.
We can do the inspections for you, do the repairs or guide you, help you maintain safe electrical equipment, show you what can be improved if necessary, help you organise fixed wiring inspections (EICR), and we have contacts in all kinds of other places to help you such as fire prevention, health and safety and so on.
We are DRA PAT Testing Ltd, established in 2009 by Richard Ayre.

Why PAT Testing is so important to your business
The Electricity at Work Regulations (EAWR) 1989 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 require employers (as ‘duty holders’) to provide a safe working environment in regard to all electrical equipment and systems, regardless of when they were manufactured, installed or brought into use.
Employers, the self-employed and employees all have duties and obligations to comply with the requirements of these regulations, which apply to all places of work, with no exemptions. All electrical systems must be maintained in a safe condition and an important aspect of such maintenance is regular PAT testing of appliances and electrical inspection and testing of the mains wiring system (EICR).
