UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across Luton — 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.
Luton is dominated by London Luton Airport, one of the UK's busiest passenger airports with a major retail and food-service estate within the terminal. Beyond the airport, the town hosts substantial automotive heritage at the former Vauxhall plant, large distribution centres along the M1 corridor, and the University of Bedfordshire. Slip testing demand is high in airport-related environments where wet-weather contamination on terminal floors is a constant operational concern.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Luton — 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 Luton 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.
Luton's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in Luton, Bedfordshire and the M1/A1(M) motorway network are familiar with the operational realities of each.
Airport operations at London Luton including terminal, retail and hospitality.
Logistics and distribution along the M1 corridor and Wigmore.
University and education at the University of Bedfordshire and the town's school estate.
Beyond these focal areas, we test floors across hospitality, healthcare, education, transport, public-sector buildings and food production right across London Luton Airport, the Mall Luton, Wigmore and the University of Bedfordshire — and the wider Bedfordshire region.
Every Pendulum slip test in Luton 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.
