Very friendly and efficient service. Would recommend. Thanks Kyle!
Kyle arrived on time and was professional and curteouse at all times. Kyle went the extra mile by calling a day earlier to ensure he had the right directions to the property located in a remote location. The testing work was conducted quickly and efficiently and the certificates were issued by email within 24 hours of the work being completed.
Response from the owner:Hi Andrew, thank you posting this excellent review. So glad we met your expectations and Kyle reported back that your property was so nice, how he'd love to stay there!
Excellent service, fast friendly engineer.

Just had my yearly PAT Testing done by DRA PAT Testing and as usual, they offer a great service, friendly and leave the place like they have never been apart from the new PAT stickers on all the equipment. Would highly recommend this company and see you again next year.

We've used DRA PAT testing for a few years and find them great. They're easy to work with, send me reminders, and the staff who visit are always really helpful, efficient, and do the work with the minimum of fuss! We had Ben come in the morning, and he was great! We will continue using DRA 🙂

Steve at APEC Environmental Limited, Hebburn: “Richard provides us with an honest, reliable and cost-effective solution to our PAT testing needs.
