UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across London — 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.
London's scale alone — over nine million residents, two international airports, the Underground, four major rail termini and the densest concentration of public-facing retail, hospitality and corporate floor space in the UK — makes it the single highest-volume environment for slip risk in the country. From a Mayfair hotel lobby to a Stratford shopping centre to a Canary Wharf office reception, every floor someone steps onto is a duty-holder's responsibility under the Health and Safety at Work Act.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in London — 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 London 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.
London's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in central London, Greater London and the M25 corridor are familiar with the operational realities of each.
Hotels and hospitality across the West End and South Bank.
Shopping centres and retail estates from Westfield to Bluewater approaches.
Corporate offices in the City, Canary Wharf and the West End.
Beyond these focal areas, we test floors across hospitality, healthcare, education, transport, public-sector buildings and food production right across the City of London, Westminster, Canary Wharf, Stratford, Camden, Shoreditch, Kensington and the South Bank — and the wider Greater London region.
Every Pendulum slip test in London 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.
