UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across Milton Keynes — 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.
Milton Keynes' grid-pattern road network was designed for distribution from day one, and today it hosts one of the UK's densest concentrations of warehousing, e-commerce fulfilment and central-Britain logistics operations — Amazon, John Lewis, Argos, Volkswagen Group UK, Network Rail and the Open University all maintain major estates here. Combined with the centre:mk shopping centre, the slip-testing profile is heavily weighted toward warehouse concrete, retail public concourse and corporate atria.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Milton Keynes — 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 Milton Keynes 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.
Milton Keynes's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire and the M1/A5 corridors are familiar with the operational realities of each.

Every Pendulum slip test in Milton Keynes 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.
