UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across Bradford — 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.
Bradford is the UK's youngest large city demographically, with significant ongoing regeneration around the Broadway Shopping Centre, City Park and the cultural quarter at Little Germany. The local economy combines food manufacturing, financial services with the Yorkshire Building Society headquartered nearby, and a substantial NHS presence. Slip testing demand here cuts across retail, healthcare and food production environments.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Bradford — 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 Bradford 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.
Bradford's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in Bradford, the wider West Yorkshire region and the M606/M62 motorway network are familiar with the operational realities of each.
Food manufacturing across the Bowling Back Lane and Euroway industrial estates.
Retail at the Broadway, Kirkgate and Forster Square.
NHS estate including Bradford Royal Infirmary and St Luke's.
Beyond these focal areas, we test floors across hospitality, healthcare, education, transport, public-sector buildings and food production right across the Broadway, City Park, Little Germany, Saltaire and Shipley — and the wider West Yorkshire region.
Every Pendulum slip test in Bradford 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.
