We've used DRA PAT testing for a few years and find them great. They're easy to work with, send me reminders, and the staff who visit are always really helpful, efficient, and do the work with the minimum of fuss! We had Ben come in the morning, and he was great! We will continue using DRA 🙂
We use DRA for our PAT testing, EIRC testing and emergency light inspections. The team is very efficient and thorough when they visit.

Mick at Seaham School of Technology, Co. Durham: “Richard has pat tested on our site for the past 3 years and he will continue to do so in the future. He was able to work around our schedule so we were in no way inconvenienced.”

Mr G Thompson, of Springfield Motor Group, Washington: “Highly professional and motivated person. High level of service, advice and resourcefulness. Richard’s knowledge is enough to offer:- accurate, logical, assertive, competitive advice”.

Katherine at Hellens Group, Tyne and Wear: “DRA PAT Testing carried out PAT testing in an efficient manor with minimal disruption to Hellens office based employees. I would be pleased to recommend DRA to other companies in the North East Excellent service. Richard carried out the testing quickly and efficiently in a busy working environment.”

Ian at Sanderson Weatherall, Newcastle Upon Tyne: “We used DRA for our PAT testing this year following an approach to our office by Richard. The cost was very competitive in comparison to other quotations received, providing good value for money. The service was excellent and work was done outside office hours so there was no disruption to our business. We will certainly use them again.”

Steve at APEC Environmental Limited, Hebburn: “Richard provides us with an honest, reliable and cost-effective solution to our PAT testing needs. His risk-based approach to setting re-test frequencies is a breath of fresh air compared to some multi-national companies who’ll gladly take your money every year, unnecessarily in many instances”.
