Pendulum slip resistance testing for Birmingham property managers, hospitality operators, insurers and solicitors. Next working day on site as standard. UKAS-accredited reports inside 72 hours of the visit.
Birmingham and the Black Country have the highest density of public-realm slip claims outside London. The combination of heavy footfall and aged commercial flooring is the main driver.
Most of our Birmingham-area work comes from hotel and pub groups and shopping centres. The instructions tend to look the same across all of them — a slip has happened, a letter has arrived, or a new floor needs signing off before it goes into use.
We test at every kind of commercial premises across West Midlands, including hospital sites, hotels and leisure complexes. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical Birmingham call-out: a contractor injured on a freshly-mopped warehouse floor. We try to be on site fast enough to read the floor in roughly the same condition as the incident. Once it's been mopped, treated or recoated, the reading is no longer about the floor that hurt someone.
Standard turnaround for Birmingham bookings is three days end-to-end. Same-day visits are sometimes possible if a surveyor is already in West Midlands — quickest way to find out is to ring.
Quickest is to ring. We'll agree the Birmingham site address, scope, access arrangements, and a fixed price. Quote in writing within the hour.

Most Birmingham bookings can be combined with a same-route visit to a neighbouring town. Useful for retail estates and care home groups operating across multiple sites.
Pick up the phone if it's urgent — we'll be on your floor next working day. For everything else, the form does the job.
