UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across Bath — to BS 7976 and HSE standards. Reports your insurer, HSE inspector and court will recognise. We don't sell flooring, coatings or anti-slip products.
Bath's UNESCO World Heritage status means almost every surface in the city centre sits within a conservation area or on a listed building. The Roman Baths, Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent and the Pump Room generate enormous tourist footfall on heritage stone floors that present unique slip-testing challenges — particularly when wet weather meets historic limestone. Our work in Bath includes coordinating closely with conservation officers to ensure testing leaves no trace.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Bath — from a single shop owner to a national retail estate — has a legal obligation to assess and manage slip risk. A UKAS-accredited Pendulum Test Value (PTV) report is the strongest documented evidence available, and it carries the same weight in Bath as it does anywhere else in the UK.
Surface Performance Ltd, trading as Test-Slip, has UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation — the highest level of laboratory accreditation in the UK. We don't sell flooring, coatings, mats or anti-slip retrofits. The only thing we sell is the test, the report, and the qualified opinion behind both — so the result you get is the result the floor produced, not the result that suits a sales pipeline.
Bath's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in Bath, North East Somerset and the M4/A36 corridors are familiar with the operational realities of each.
Heritage tourism and visitor attractions including the Roman Baths and the Pump Room.
Hospitality and hotels across the city centre and the Royal Crescent.
Retail at SouthGate, Milsom Street and Stall Street.
Beyond these focal areas, we test floors across hospitality, healthcare, education, transport, public-sector buildings and food production right across the Roman Baths, the Royal Crescent, SouthGate, Milsom Street and Pulteney Bridge — and the wider Somerset region.
Every Pendulum slip test in Bath produces a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) figure. The HSE classifies floors against this value — a single accredited test gives you the evidence to demonstrate which zone your floor sits in.
