Slip Testing in Wrexham

Why Wrexham businesses need accredited slip testing.

Wrexham — recently elevated to city status — sits at the centre of north-east Wales' industrial economy, with the Wrexham Industrial Estate hosting major food-production and pharmaceutical operations including JCB, Kelloggs and a substantial supply chain. Combined with Wrexham Maelor Hospital, the Eagles Meadow shopping centre and a recent surge in tourism following Wrexham AFC's profile rise, slip-testing demand here is rising across all sectors.

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Wrexham — 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 Wrexham 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.

Pendulum Test Value

The HSE classification — three risk zones.

Every Pendulum slip test in Wrexham 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.

High Risk
0–24
Significant Slip Potential

HSE recommends immediate intervention — surface treatment, replacement, or contamination control.

Moderate
25–35
Slips Reasonably Foreseeable

Risk management, signage and cleaning regime review required. Frequent re-testing recommended.

Low Risk
36+
HSE Low-Risk Benchmark

The threshold for a low slip-risk surface. Where most well-specified commercial floors should sit.
