UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across Wolverhampton — 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.
Wolverhampton's economy combines aerospace and automotive components manufacturing in the Black Country, retail at the Mander and Wulfrun centres, and a substantial public-sector estate around the council, the New Cross Hospital and the University of Wolverhampton. The i54 development on the city's northern edge has brought major manufacturers including Jaguar Land Rover's engine plant, expanding the local industrial slip-testing profile.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Wolverhampton — 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 Wolverhampton 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.
Wolverhampton's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in Wolverhampton, the Black Country and the M54/M6 motorway network are familiar with the operational realities of each.
Automotive and aerospace manufacturing across i54 and the Black Country corridor.
NHS and public sector at New Cross Hospital and council buildings.
Retail at the Mander Centre, Wulfrun Centre and Bentley Bridge.
Beyond these focal areas, we test floors across hospitality, healthcare, education, transport, public-sector buildings and food production right across the Mander Centre, the Civic Centre, Bilston, i54 and Wednesfield — and the wider West Midlands region.
Every Pendulum slip test in Wolverhampton 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.
