Pendulum slip resistance testing for Edinburgh 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.
Edinburgh's heritage hospitality estate generates a particular pattern of work — old stone, old wood, old tile, all of it Listed. Testing tells you whether the surface is the problem or whether it's the cleaning regime that needs to change.
Most of our Edinburgh-area work comes from tourist attractions and offshore services. 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 Edinburgh, including leisure complexes, transport hubs and stadium concourses. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical Edinburgh call-out: a fall on polished stone in a hotel reception. 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 Edinburgh bookings is three days end-to-end. Same-day visits are sometimes possible if a surveyor is already in Scotland — quickest way to find out is to ring.
Quickest is to ring. We'll agree the Edinburgh site address, scope, access arrangements, and a fixed price. Quote in writing within the hour.

Most Edinburgh 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.
