Why North East Businesses Choose DRA Over Other PAT Testers

You are busy running your own business, company, school, whatever and you’re probably here for a quick solution, that matches your high standards. You’re in the right place, we can help you with that.

You can read on, learn about what we do, what PAT testing is etc or you can simply get in touch, contact us for a PAT testing quote using the button above, call us or book an appointment now using our fixed price offer.

We do a better job than most, because we know how busy you are, so we want to take the stress of remembering to arrange the PAT testing from you; once you’re with us, we put you in our system and we’ll remind you when you’re next due, we’ll propose a date 12 months after the last test (or whatever period of risk you work to), all you have to do is say ‘yes’.

When you book your first appointment, we’ll send confirmation, and reminders when the appointment is near. We give clear quotes with no hidden charges, carry out remedial repairs for free including supplying plugs and fuses, and record the repairs on the report, giving you the maintenance log you need to comply with Health and Safety.

When you get your report, usually the same day the job is done, it includes electrical test results, which you need if there is ever an investigation, but you may be surprised to know that many PAT companies don’t provide that. It also itemised every appliance tested, and in a location based layout for easy reading.

We have over 16 years experience, meaning we know the best ways to work in all kinds of environments to ensure a slick and stress free process, with minimal disruption to your business. These are just some of the reasons why we have more 5-star reviews on Google than any other North East PAT tester.

Do I really have to get PAT testing done?

No, you don’t, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. But… lets say there is an accident at work, and that accident was caused by faulty electrical equipment, wouldn’t you prefer to have some support?

Under UK workplace law you must maintain electrical equipment to be safe, and be able to prove you have done that. A compliant PAT Testing Certificate Report is the best way to do that. If you’re in court, a document that lists the appliances, the locations and the test results that prove the appliance was safe will support you.

Regular PAT testing helps you to comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and many more workplace regulations.
