Pendulum slip resistance testing for Carrickfergus property managers, hospitality operators, insurers and solicitors. One to two working days on site as standard. UKAS-accredited reports inside 72 hours of the visit.
Belfast's revitalised city-centre hospitality estate has produced a steady volume of testing work over the last few years. Sign-off PTV reports on new installs are the most common single instruction.
Most of our Carrickfergus-area work comes from pub and hotel groups and industrial floors. 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 Antrim, including care homes, pubs and high-street retailers. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical Carrickfergus call-out: a slip on a coated yard surface after fuel contamination. 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 Carrickfergus bookings is three days end-to-end. Same-day visits are sometimes possible if a surveyor is already in Northern Ireland — quickest way to find out is to ring.
Quickest is to ring. We'll agree the Carrickfergus site address, scope, access arrangements, and a fixed price. Quote in writing within the hour.

Most Carrickfergus 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 one to two working days. For everything else, the form does the job.
