A Local PAT Testing Company Businesses Can Rely On

Hi, I’m Richard, owner of DRA PAT Testing.

For more than 16 years, we’ve helped businesses across Newcastle and the North East keep their workplaces safe, compliant, and professionally maintained — without the hassle that often comes with dealing with contractors.

Most businesses simply want the job done properly by a company they can rely on. That means turning up when we say we will, working professionally around your staff and customers, communicating clearly, and making the whole process straightforward from start to finish.

Over the years, we’ve tested more than 2 million appliances for over 1,500 businesses across the region. From offices and recruitment companies to schools, healthcare providers, landlords, warehouses and retail premises, we support organisations of all sizes with reliable, long-term electrical compliance services.

If we find minor issues such as damaged plugs or wiring, we’ll usually repair them there and then at no extra charge to help keep your equipment safe and in service wherever possible. If equipment isn’t safe to use, we’ll explain exactly why, clearly report it, and help you understand the next steps.

After testing, you’ll receive a clear and organised PAT Testing Certificate Report showing every appliance tested, its result, and where it was located — helping make ongoing compliance simple and stress-free.

Most of our work comes from repeat customers and recommendations, and we’re proud of the reputation we’ve built for being approachable, reliable, organised, and easy to deal with.
