UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across Swansea — 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.
Swansea combines a substantial industrial and port economy at the docks and the Lower Swansea Valley with the Quadrant shopping centre, Swansea University's two campuses (Singleton and Bay), and Morriston Hospital. The seafront, the marina and the Mumbles add a hospitality dimension that places consistent demand on slip-testing services across multiple sectors.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Swansea — 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 Swansea 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.
Swansea's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in Swansea, South West Wales and the M4 corridor are familiar with the operational realities of each.
Industrial and port operations across the Lower Swansea Valley and the docks.
Retail at the Quadrant, Swansea Market and Castle Square.
Education and healthcare at Swansea University and Morriston Hospital.
Beyond these focal areas, we test floors across hospitality, healthcare, education, transport, public-sector buildings and food production right across the Quadrant, Wind Street, the Marina, Mumbles and Singleton — and the wider Wales region.
Every Pendulum slip test in Swansea 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.
