Most PAT Testing companies advertise ‘low hanging fruit‘; they promote their lowest possible price as if it were standard, but the truth is 99% of their clients don’t pay that. Only the ones where the conditions are ‘perfect‘ – an empty office, easy to access cables, thousands of computers. Everyone else is quoted a much higher rate. They also charge astronomical rates for repairs, and when the do a repair they charge for the ‘fail’ then to retest. If a socket is faulty, they charge you to tell you.

We have a standard price, and we promote that, we don’t hide it, so you know what you will pay (and we don’t do socket testing because it’s nothing to do with PAT – but we will tell you if there is a fault).

When PAT testing is cheap, it often means it is rushed. Consider this, if you pay 60p per item to a company and they pay the engineer minimum wage (£12.21), the engineer needs to test 21 items to make his wage. But the company needs to make money too. Most of these companies pay their engineer 20p per item, so now the engineer has to test 61 items to cover his wage. That’s 488 items in a day, to make minimum wage – most are targeted 500 items per day minimum. We expect our engineers to achieve approx. 250 items in the same time, and they’re paid a lot more than minimum wage.

If the engineers rush, they make mistakes, or miss faults, sometimes they don’t bother with a repair, or hide it, because they don’t get paid to do the repair. We encourage our team to find and fix repairs and tell them in training and quality control, that finding the fault and fixing the fault is the most important element of their work.

Most of these low price firms will also only give you a basic report, that doesn’t include test results – if you are ever in court for an incident, you will be glad to have our report including test results, rather than theirs which isn’t worth the paper its written on.

At DRA PAT Testing, we believe in clear, competitive pricing that gives you real value. Whether you have just a few appliances or a full workplace set up, we offer cost-effective PAT testing with expert service included – every time. We price so that you always know exactly what you’re paying, with no hidden extras.

Choosing the right PAT testing partner isn’t just about price — it’s about compliance, reliability and safety. Our transparent pricing means you spend less time worrying about hidden costs and more time knowing your workplace is fully compliant and protected.
