Specialist UKAS ISO 17025 accredited pendulum slip testing for main contractors, principal designers, architects, M&E contractors, FF&E packages and CDM duty-holders. Pre-handover slip testing prevents costly post-occupation remediation and protects against long-tail PI exposure.
Pre-completion slip testing is the cleanest evidential mechanism for resolving installation defect disputes between main contractor, sub-contractor and client. The duty-holder is regulated by the CDM Regulations 2015, the HSE, building control and the ultimate end-user / operator, and the evidential standard expected of any slip-risk assessment scales accordingly.
Typical surfaces in this sector include newly-installed flooring of every type, with manufacturer specification verification. Typical risk vectors are specification drift between design and installation, treatment regimes that void manufacturer warranties, snagging defects. Our reports cover all of the above with photographic evidence, calibrated PTV data, and UKSRG classification.
Our pendulum testing follows BS EN 16165:2021 Annex C as the primary method, with BS 7976-2:2002+A1:2013 available where preferred (e.g. legacy specifications, earlier insurer requirements). All work is performed under our UKAS ISO 17025 accreditation, with calibration certificates referenced on every report.
For this sector specifically: specification verification testing on all wet-area, entrance, ramp and changing facility surfaces before practical completion.
We provide construction & handover slip testing across all major UK cities. Find your nearest below — or call 0208 246 5562 for sites elsewhere.
Standard scheduling is 2–5 working days. Urgent and post-incident dispatch within 48 hours is available across most of the UK.
Yes. Reports are formatted to meet the evidential standards expected by UK insurers, the HSE, and the courts. Calibration certificates and chain-of-custody documentation are included as standard.
No. We are independent of all flooring and treatment manufacturers, so any remediation guidance you receive from us is free of conflict of interest.
Yes. Out-of-hours, weekend, and shift-pattern-aligned testing is routinely arranged for construction & handover clients where daytime access is impractical.
