Slip Testing in Kingston upon Hull

Why Kingston upon Hull businesses need accredited slip testing.

Hull's economy combines a major port handling renewable-energy components for the offshore wind industry, the University of Hull, and a regenerated city-centre retail core at Princes Quay and St Stephen's. Siemens Gamesa's blade factory at Alexandra Dock has driven significant industrial development, while the Hull Royal Infirmary and the Trust's wider estate provide consistent NHS-sector demand for accredited slip testing.

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Kingston upon Hull — 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 Kingston upon Hull 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.

Pendulum Test Value

The HSE classification — three risk zones.

Every Pendulum slip test in Kingston upon Hull 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.

Significant Slip Potential

HSE recommends immediate intervention — surface treatment, replacement, or contamination control.

Moderate
25–35
Slips Reasonably Foreseeable

Risk management, signage and cleaning regime review required. Frequent re-testing recommended.

Low Risk
36+
HSE Low-Risk Benchmark

The threshold for a low slip-risk surface. Where most well-specified commercial floors should sit.
