Local PAT Testing in Newcastle, North Tyneside & Across the North East

Running a café, shop, office or any small business is demanding enough — the last thing you need to worry about is electrical safety. At DRA PAT Testing, we make keeping your business compliant and your people safe simple, efficient, and stress-free.

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) isn’t just a tick-box exercise — it’s a vital part of keeping your staff, customers, and premises safe. Even modern electrical equipment can develop faults over time. A faulty kettle, toaster, laptop charger, or office printer might seem harmless, but without proper testing, it could pose a real risk of electric shock or fire.

You’ll be shocked by the amount of extension leads we find that have overheated from improper use.

Regular PAT testing demonstrates that your business takes safety seriously. It also protects you legally, giving you the documentation you need to show compliance with UK health and safety regulations.

Even modern electrical equipment can develop faults over time. Regular PAT testing helps you:

• Protect staff, customers, and premises from electrical hazards

• Ensure your appliances are safe and fully functional

• Demonstrate compliance with UK health and safety regulations

• Keep your insurance and legal obligations up to date

A small appliance fault can quickly turn into a major problem — don’t leave it to chance.
