Pendulum slip resistance testing for Fort William 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 Fort William-area work comes from hospitality and pub groups and NHS estates. 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 Highland, including country hotels, schools and pubs. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical Fort William call-out: a slip in a school dining hall during the lunch rush. 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 Fort William 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 Fort William site address, scope, access arrangements, and a fixed price. Quote in writing within the hour.
