PAT testing for Hotels in the North East

We provide professional PAT Testing for Hotels across the North East.

PAT Testing for Hotels, B&Bs & Guest Houses

Managing a hotel or guest house requires juggling guest comfort with rigorous health and safety compliance. With high guest turnover, electrical appliances in bedrooms, kitchens, and communal areas face continuous wear and tear. Furthermore, guests frequently bring their own untested electrical items into your premises, increasing the underlying risk of electrical fires or shocks.

At DRA PAT Testing, we provide comprehensive, large-scale electrical safety inspections across Newcastle, Tyneside, and the North East to keep your guests safe and your business protected.

What We Test in the Hotel & Hospitality Sector

Hotels present a massive variety of electrical assets, from low-voltage bedroom tech to high-power commercial plant machinery. We systematically inspect, test, and tag your entire inventory, including:

• • Guest Bedrooms: Kettles, hair dryers, lamps, clock radios, irons, and wall-mounted TVs.
  • Commercial Kitchens & Bars: Microwaves, blenders, glass washers, coffee machines, toaster conveyors, and fridges.
  • Laundries & Housekeeping: Industrial washing machines, tumble dryers, rotary irons, and commercial vacuum cleaners.
  • Front of House & Leisure: Reception computers, self-check-in kiosks, gym equipment, and spa treatment electronics.

PAT testing is farily inobtrusive, and when we work together minimal disruption is guarenteed. We do need to turn equipment off and unplug it to test it but the process is quite quick, so not much downtime. We do repairs as we come across them, so you don’t need to worry about delays due to faults, and every test produces results that are recorded into a fully compliant report which documents every device tested, maintenance and the device location in your premises.

You are legally required to maintain safe electrical equipment for continued use and to prevent danger occuring. In the event of an accident occuring, for an investigation you need to provide evidence that your devices were safe, and that you have done everything you can to ensure this. Regular Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) finds faults and fixes them, ensuring dangers are prevented, and the accompanying report ensures your compliance.

PAT testing should be repeated as often as is necessary to prevent danger occuring. A risk assessment is a good way to work out the risks, which help to determine appropriate frequency. We can also guide you based on our vast experience. Typically, site managers opt for annual PAT tests. With DRA PAT Testing we put you in our reminder system, so when tests are due again we contact you to arrange a retest date.

Assuming you purchased the new appliances from a reputable source, they do not usually require PAT testing immediately, and should be ok to wait until your next scheduled test assuming that is within 12 months of purchase. We do however recommend that the device be visually inspected before use. However, if you are in doubt at all, get it tested, for peace of mind.
