UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across Norwich — 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.
Norwich anchors the East of England with a major retail centre at Chapelfield (now Chantry Place) and the Castle Quarter, the University of East Anglia, the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, and a hospitality economy supporting Norfolk's tourist industry. Aviva's UK headquarters drives substantial corporate-office floor space, and the city's mix of cobbled medieval streets and modern shopping-centre tile means slip testing here spans heritage and contemporary surfaces equally.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Norwich — 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 Norwich 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.
Norwich's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in Norwich, Norfolk and the A11/A47 corridors are familiar with the operational realities of each.
Insurance and corporate offices including Aviva and the city centre business district.
Retail at Chantry Place, the Castle Quarter and the Royal Arcade.
NHS estate at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
Beyond these focal areas, we test floors across hospitality, healthcare, education, transport, public-sector buildings and food production right across Chantry Place, the Lanes, Tombland, the Castle Quarter and Riverside — and the wider Norfolk region.
Every Pendulum slip test in Norwich 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.
