UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across Leicester — 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.
Leicester's economy spans textile and food manufacturing, two universities, and a thriving retail centre at the Highcross, supported by one of the most diverse hospitality scenes in the Midlands. With major distribution centres at Magna Park and a substantial NHS estate at the Royal Infirmary, the city sees consistent slip-testing demand across food production, hospitality and public-sector environments.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Leicester — 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 Leicester 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.
Leicester's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in Leicester, the East Midlands and the M1/M69 motorway network are familiar with the operational realities of each.
Food manufacturing and packaging across Beaumont Leys and Braunstone.
Retail and leisure at the Highcross and across the Cultural Quarter.
Logistics and distribution at Magna Park and the M1/M69 junction.
Beyond these focal areas, we test floors across hospitality, healthcare, education, transport, public-sector buildings and food production right across the Highcross, the Cultural Quarter, Granby Street, the Golden Mile and Magna Park — and the wider East Midlands region.
Every Pendulum slip test in Leicester 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.
