UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across Brighton — 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.
Brighton's economy is built on tourism, conferences, hospitality and a fast-growing creative-tech cluster, with the Brighton Centre, the i360, the Lanes and the seafront generating year-round public footfall. The mix of Regency tile, Victorian iron pier flooring and modern hotel marble means slip testing here often involves heritage surfaces where any treatment must be reversible — a specialist consideration we factor into every Brighton survey.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Brighton — 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 Brighton 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.
Brighton's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in Brighton & Hove, East Sussex and the A23/M23 corridor to London are familiar with the operational realities of each.
Hospitality across the seafront, the Lanes and the Kemp Town conservation area.
Conference and event venues including the Brighton Centre and the AMEX.
Retail across Churchill Square, Western Road and the North Laine.
Beyond these focal areas, we test floors across hospitality, healthcare, education, transport, public-sector buildings and food production right across the Lanes, the Royal Pavilion, Churchill Square, the seafront and the AMEX Stadium — and the wider East Sussex region.
Every Pendulum slip test in Brighton 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.
