UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across Leeds — 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.
Leeds combines a thriving financial district around Wellington Place and Park Square with major retail destinations at Trinity Leeds, Victoria Gate and the White Rose Centre. The city is also the legal and administrative capital of Yorkshire, with high-volume public-sector floor space in council buildings, courts and the General Infirmary. Slip risk here cuts across glass-fronted corporate atria, Victorian arcade tiles and modern shopping-centre flooring — each requiring its own testing approach.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Leeds — 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 Leeds 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.
Leeds's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in Leeds, the wider West Yorkshire region and the M1/M62 junctions are familiar with the operational realities of each.

Every Pendulum slip test in Leeds 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.
