UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across Inverness — 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.
Inverness is the regional capital of the Highlands, with the Eastgate shopping centre, Raigmore Hospital, the University of the Highlands and Islands, and a substantial tourism economy serving year-round visitors to Loch Ness, Skye and the wider Highlands. The slip-testing profile here is heavily weighted toward hospitality and healthcare, with the additional consideration of remote-site logistics for engineers — something we plan around carefully.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Inverness — 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 Inverness 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.
Inverness's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in Inverness, the Highlands and the A9/A82 corridors are familiar with the operational realities of each.
Hospitality and tourism across the city centre and the Highland visitor economy.
NHS estate at Raigmore Hospital and the wider NHS Highland Trust.
Retail at the Eastgate Centre, Inshes Retail Park and the Victorian Market.
Beyond these focal areas, we test floors across hospitality, healthcare, education, transport, public-sector buildings and food production right across the Eastgate Centre, Inverness Castle, the Victorian Market, Raigmore and Beauly — and the wider Scotland region.
Every Pendulum slip test in Inverness 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.
