UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across Nottingham — 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.
Nottingham combines a substantial retail centre at the Victoria and Broadmarsh redevelopment, two universities with major campus footprints, and one of the largest food-related logistics clusters in the East Midlands. Slip testing demand is consistent across the year, driven by retail expansion, university accommodation refurbishments, and the ongoing redevelopment of the southern gateway around the railway station.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Nottingham — 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 Nottingham 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.
Nottingham's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in Nottingham, the East Midlands and the M1 corridor through Derbyshire are familiar with the operational realities of each.
Retail and shopping centres including Victoria Centre and intu/Broadmarsh redevelopment.
University campus floor space across Nottingham Trent and the University of Nottingham.
Logistics and warehousing along the A453 and A52 corridors.
Beyond these focal areas, we test floors across hospitality, healthcare, education, transport, public-sector buildings and food production right across Old Market Square, Lace Market, the Victoria Centre, Beeston and West Bridgford — and the wider East Midlands region.
Every Pendulum slip test in Nottingham 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.
