UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across Liverpool — 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.
Liverpool's UNESCO waterfront, Liverpool ONE retail district, two cathedrals, a cruise terminal and one of the busiest stadium-and-events economies in the UK make it a high-footfall city year-round. Add the Royal Albert Dock, a substantial port-related logistics base and the regenerated Baltic Triangle, and you have a city where slip testing demand cuts across heritage stone floors, modern glass entrances and heavy-industry concrete.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Liverpool — 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 Liverpool 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.
Liverpool's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in Merseyside, the Wirral and the M62/M57 motorway network are familiar with the operational realities of each.
Retail across Liverpool ONE, Metquarter and Bold Street.
Stadium and event venues including Anfield, Goodison and the M&S Bank Arena.
Port and logistics operations at the Liverpool2 container terminal and the Royal Albert Dock.
Beyond these focal areas, we test floors across hospitality, healthcare, education, transport, public-sector buildings and food production right across Liverpool ONE, the Royal Albert Dock, the Baltic Triangle, Anfield, the Pier Head and Bold Street — and the wider Merseyside region.
Every Pendulum slip test in Liverpool 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.
