UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across Kingston upon Hull — 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.
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.
Kingston upon Hull's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in Hull, East Yorkshire and the M62/A63 corridors are familiar with the operational realities of each.
Offshore wind manufacturing and port operations at Alexandra Dock and King George Dock.
Retail at Princes Quay, St Stephen's and the Old Town.
NHS estate at Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital.
Beyond these focal areas, we test floors across hospitality, healthcare, education, transport, public-sector buildings and food production right across Princes Quay, the Old Town, the Marina, the Deep and the University — and the wider East Yorkshire region.
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.
