On-Site Slip Testing Services

Pendulum Test

The British Pendulum Test
Pendulum testing for Slip & Skid Resistance is one of the principal constituents of on-site testing services provided by Surface Performance.

The pendulum test helps measure slip potential, and fall risk on walking surfaces, including but not limited to floors, ramps, roads, walkways and bridges.

    We conduct UK HSE and UKSRG preferred in-situ slip tests directed by British Standard BS 7976 and BS EN 13036-4:2003 as per guiding principles laid by the UK Slip Resistance Group (Issue 5 of 2016).

    We have successfully conducted and delivered slip resistance test reports all across the UK and internationally, since we established our services a decade ago. Our services are available on-demand, i.e., as per your availability, as we understand that not all premises can be vacant to conduct the test when the need be.

    Our staff has fully trained expert Technicians and certified operators who operate swiftly and discreetly. As each site is unique, we customise the test to the unique grounds to provide detailed and certified results, and thus, we have a well-earned reputation as one of the prominent pendulum test providers in the UK.

      Premier League Football Club

      We have instructed Surface Performance to carry out slip testing at all of our warehouses that have high foot and vehicle traffic. The flooring is tested after initial installation to check that our contractors have achieved the PTV values that we specify in both dry and wet conditions. Surface Performance are always available at late notice and their reporting time is exceptionally efficient.

      Amazon Warehouse

      Surface Performance Ltd have carried out UKAS accredited BS 7976 and UKSRG testing and certification to our entire range of 35 products. We enjoyed a fascinating tour of their laboratory during the process and we cannot recommend enough the professionalism of the laboratory team. We now provide all new clients with copies of the UKAS reports as part of our product marketing literature.

      Decking Manufacturer

      We were delighted with the last minute slip test that we arranged with Surface Performance at one of our London properties following an incident that happened in a canteen area. We were able to demonstrate that the flooring was fit for purpose in both dry and wet conditions through accredited testing.
