Pendulum slip resistance testing for Hackney property managers, hospitality operators, insurers and solicitors. Same-day where possible on site as standard. UKAS-accredited reports inside 72 hours of the visit.
London produces the highest volume of slip-and-fall claims in the country. It also produces some of the most contested ones — high property values, complex multi-tenant buildings, and insurers who want hard evidence before they settle anything.
Most of our Hackney-area work comes from restaurants and hotel chains and NHS sites. 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 Greater London, including pubs, high-street retailers and leisure centres. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical Hackney call-out: a slip on a pool surround at a leisure centre. 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 Hackney bookings is three days end-to-end. Same-day visits are sometimes possible if a surveyor is already in London — quickest way to find out is to ring.
Quickest is to ring. We'll agree the Hackney site address, scope, access arrangements, and a fixed price. Quote in writing within the hour.

Most Hackney 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 same-day where possible. For everything else, the form does the job.
