PAT Testing for Schools & Colleges

We provide Portable Appliance Testing for Schools across the North East of England

Our Schools PAT testing service covers all educational facilities including nurseries, primary schools, secondary, independent, sixth form, colleges, universities etc.

What needs PAT testing in a School?

A portable appliance is an electrical appliance fitted with a plug; so everything you plug in to a socket, in your school, requires an inspection and test by us or another person competent in electrical safety, on a regular basis. The PAT testing frequency should be proportionate to the risk of the appliance use and the environment it is being used in – in schools this tends to be every year, as the nature of the appliances you use being mainly used by children the risk of damage occurring is quite high.

However, schools can also increase the time between tests for equipment only used by staff, such as in the offices.

You need to maintain safe electrical equipment in order to comply with Health and Safety at Work – regular PAT Tests help you to do this

A PAT test by a top company, will help you comply with this and other regulations, and by getting an itemised PAT Testing Certificate Report you will be getting the records you need as proof that you have taken action to ensure your equipment is safe. The report includes an itemised list of all appliances that pass; information on any appliances that fail (which is a risk assessment in itself) and an overall Certificate.

We also provide you with guidance on what we have done and what you could do better to improve safety.

How can we help you?

Having specialised in portable appliance testing since 2009 we have plenty of experience PAT testing schools, so we know we can help you make sure your salon electrical equipment is safe to use.

Making sure your portable electrical equipment is safe for you customers and your staff is so important to you, and we know that, so it is important to us that we give you peace of mind so you can go about your daily business without worrying about dodgy electrics.

We will come in at time to suit you, inspect your computers, projectors, kitchen appliances and other appliances that plug in, carry out any necessary repairs (including replacing 2-pin plugs for proper British 3-pins, which we know you will have at least one of), test what needs testing and when we leave you will know that your equipment is safe.

And we promise to remove the previous companies messy labels and replace them with our nice tidy, professionally printed new labels, which we will put on your equipment neatly and discreetly.

Back at the office we will download the results to produce for you a PAT Test Certificate Report which we email to you as a PDF document, usually the same day or within 24 hours of the job completing.

Then, when your PAT tests are next due we’ll contact you to remind you, suggesting a date to come in, so you don’t even have to remember anymore about your regular checks, so you will always be compliant.

We came across DRA last year having been recommended to use them for our office PAT testing. We obtained a number of quotes and DRA were the most competitive. They duly completed the work. Found their service exemplary. We were duly contacted by Richard this year 4 weeks ahead of our renewal date to remind us that the PAT testing was due for renewal. We had no hesitation in asking his firm to complete the work. They have been out and we are compliant for another 12 months. They provide a great service and would highly recommend. They politely remind you when the testing is due for renewal so you are always protected.

I own a mobile disco with approximately 100 electrical items and DRA takes care of all my PAT needs. Venues and customers alike are increasingly requesting that disco equipment is PAT tested. It is therefore extremely important to ensure my gear is regularly tested to ensure my income and reputation is maintained, and equally it is important to ensure my equipment is safe to use! I have always received exceptional service and value for money from DRA. I find Richard Ayre to be extremely helpful, polite and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend DRA to anyone.

PAT testing reduces the risk of fires in schools

In the past 3 years the fire brigade has been called to almost 2000 school fires across the UK; with faulty electrical equipment and electrics among the leading causes of these school fires. This study was carried out by Zurich Municipal, which found that schools in England are 1.7 times more likely to suffer a fire than other commercial buildings.
