The North East’s leading PAT Testing experts
Providing PAT testing in Newcastle upon Tyne, across the North East and throughout the UK
With more 5-star Google reviews than any other PAT testers we really are the most recommended electrical PAT testing company in the UK – so when you need your electrical equipment checking, speak to us. Established in 2009, DRA PAT Testing Ltd’s engineers are specialists in Portable Appliance Testing. We provide our clients with an affordable, reliable and professional service, specialising in working with small/local businesses, office-based businesses and schools etc although we can operate in almost any workplace.
Our clients include Newcastle (Utilita) Arena, Nexus, Durham Constabulary, the National Trust, various schools, local businesses, hotels, landlords and many, many more. Whether you have one appliance or thousands we have the skills, the resources, and the team to manage the project for you.
Helping you comply with Health and Safety
Business owners, workplaces etc in the UK are legally required to ensure all electrical systems (including wiring and appliances) are maintained to appropriate safety standards. Regular PAT testing, and fixed wiring inspections are considered to be the best methods to meet these requirements.
If there is an accident at your workplace, caused by faulty electrical equipment, the investigator (HSE, insurance, etc.) will ask you to demonstrate what system is in place for inspecting and verifying that your electrical equipment is safe. A PAT testing Certificate (including report of individual appliances) from us will show them that you have a system in place to maintain safe electrical equipment.

Thank you so much DRA PAT Testing. The process to book testing, was very easy, and Richard could fit in the exact time frame we had. The tester had spare parts and was very professional and efficient, I gave him a quick tour of the building, and the testing was done promptly. Great value, and respectful of covid guidelines. I would highly recommend and we will be using DRA Testing in a years time.

Thank you so much Richard! Richard arranged and kindly did PAT Testing for all the equipment in my clinic, he attended perfectly on time, made sure it's arranged around the time I can be free. He even had spare parts and just changed them for me straightaway. He is very genuine, professional and kind. Great value in compare with other companies and very trustworthy. I've already asked him to book me in for my next PAT Testing and I definitely recommend him.

We used DRA last year for the first time for our PAT testing, they were very proffesional, polite and friendly, so much so we recommended them to the company next door, who have had their PAT testings also carried out by PAT. We are more than happy to continue to use their services annually, and would recommend to all. They also offer other services including full wiring tests.

PAT testing helps you meet these legal regulations
PAT testing is preventative maintenance – it confirms whether or not an appliance is safe to use and we provide you with a PAT Testing Certificate as evidence of your compliance with UK workplace regulations..
✅ Regular electrical inspection and testing helps you ensure electrical equipment is safe
✅ PAT assesses the suitability of an appliance for the environment it is being used in (to help you comply with) The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998
✅ PAT testing records can be used to demonstrate compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
✅ Regular PAT testing helps you to comply with The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992
✅ Regular electrical tests in rental property help you comply with The Housing Act 2004 (England and Wales)
✅ PAT tests before the start of a tenancy help a landlord comply with The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government’s guidance
✅ Regular PAT tests help you comply with The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016
✅ If the plug of an appliance doesn’t meet the Plugs and sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994 we will change it for one that does.
⚡️ DRA PAT Testing – there’s no shocks with us! ⚡️
Electrical safety is important; portable electrical appliances can get damaged during use leading to electric shocks and can be maintained or used incorrectly which could be a fire risk; so Health and Safety at Work requires you to regularly check appliances are safe. Regular checks reduce the risk of accidents happening. We work with our clients to help them maintain safe electrical equipment, both now and in the future.
For your peace of mind, we try to provide a service with minimum fuss – we are professional workers, who will try not to disturb you too much; we’ll tidy up as we go, we’ll do remedial repairs to the plug, flex etc automatically and free of charge, we’ll replace damaged plugs and incorrect fuses also for free, we’ll (do our best to) remove old labels before putting ours on (printed not hand-written, and a nice purple colour not boring green), we put our labels on neatly and discreetly, we record everything we do on our testers, and provide you with your fully itemised PAT Testing Certificate Report as soon as possible after the job is complete – guaranteed by the end of the week. We also take the weight of having to remember about retesting off you, as we send you timely reminders before retests are due.
