What we do

The number that shows whether a floor is safe — and that stands up when it's questioned.

The pendulum test is the method the HSE, the UK Slip Resistance Group and the courts rely on to judge how slippery a floor really is. We come to your premises in Coventry, test the surface as it is actually used, and give you a clear Pendulum Test Value with a written assessment.

On-site pendulum testing

We test floors in place, wet and dry, in three directions — the conditions in which slips actually happen.

Sample & pre-purchase testing

Laboratory testing of flooring samples before you specify or buy, so you know the PTV before it's down.

Reports & expert evidence

Clear reports for compliance and procurement, and independent assessments for insurers and slip-claim litigation.

Why it matters

Slips are the single most common cause of major workplace injury.

Evidence your duty of care under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
Show you took reasonable precautions if a slip claim or HSE investigation follows.
Specify and sign off new flooring against a measured PTV, not a sales brochure.
Support insurance, procurement and tenant or landlord disputes with independent data.

Dry floors flatter you. Almost any floor passes when dry — slips happen when it's wet or contaminated. A meaningful test is carried out in the wet, which is exactly how we assess it.
