PAT Testing Hotels
We provide Portable Appliance Testing for Hotels across the North East of England
What needs PAT testing in a Hotel?
A portable appliance is an electrical appliance fitted with a plug; so everything you plug in to a socket, in your hotel, 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 hotels this tends to be every year, as the nature of the appliances you use being mainly in guest rooms the risk of damage occurring is quite high.
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.

As always, an excellent and reliable service. Due to covid19 guidelines we only had certain times available but Richard was more than accommodating and offered an alternative suggestion which meant we were able to get the whole school PAT tested, which we are so grateful for. Thank you!

Thank you so much DRA PAT Testing. The process to book testing, was very easy, and Richard could fit in the exact time frame we had. The tester had spare parts and was very professional and efficient, I gave him a quick tour of the building, and the testing was done promptly. Great value, and respectful of covid guidelines.

Thank you so much Richard! Richard arranged and kindly did PAT Testing for all the equipment in my clinic, he attended perfectly on time, made sure it's arranged around the time I can be free. He even had spare parts and just changed them for me straightaway. He is very genuine, professional and kind. Great value in compare with other companies and very trustworthy. I've already asked him to book me in for my next PAT Testing and I definitely recommend him.

We will come in at time to suit you, inspect your hair driers, TV’s, computers 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.
