Pendulum slip resistance testing for Gateshead property managers, hospitality operators, insurers and solicitors. Next working day on site as standard. UKAS-accredited reports inside 72 hours of the visit.
North East work is concentrated around the Tyne and Tees corridors. Newcastle's retail and hospitality core, the South Shields and Sunderland coastal strips, and the industrial belts running west toward Durham.
Most of our Gateshead-area work comes from industrial estates 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 Tyne and Wear, including schools, hotels and leisure centres. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical Gateshead call-out: a fall on glazed paving outside a shopfront in winter. 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 Gateshead bookings is three days end-to-end. Same-day visits are sometimes possible if a surveyor is already in North East — quickest way to find out is to ring.
Quickest is to ring. We'll agree the Gateshead site address, scope, access arrangements, and a fixed price. Quote in writing within the hour.

Most Gateshead 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.
