Pendulum slip resistance testing for Kirkcaldy 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.
Aberdeen offshore-services and oilfield-supply premises tend to run their own slip-testing regime against operator standards. We do the testing; they handle the spec.
Most of our Kirkcaldy-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 Fife, including schools, restaurants and supermarkets. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical Kirkcaldy call-out: a customer slip in a wet entrance lobby on a rainy day. 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 Kirkcaldy 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 Kirkcaldy site address, scope, access arrangements, and a fixed price. Quote in writing within the hour.

Most Kirkcaldy 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.
