Pendulum slip resistance testing for Tameside property managers, hospitality operators, insurers and solicitors. Next working day on site as standard. UKAS-accredited reports inside 72 hours of the visit.
Cumbria and the Lake District tend to need more notice — partly the geography, partly that most of the work there is hotel and tourist-attraction sign-off rather than reactive incident response.
Most of our Tameside-area work comes from industrial floors and retail centres. 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 Manchester, including retail parks, office buildings and schools. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical Tameside call-out: a fall near a leaking refrigerator in a back-of-house corridor. 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 Tameside bookings is three days end-to-end. Same-day visits are sometimes possible if a surveyor is already in North West — quickest way to find out is to ring.
Quickest is to ring. We'll agree the Tameside site address, scope, access arrangements, and a fixed price. Quote in writing within the hour.
UKAS-trained, with a calibrated pendulum and roughness gauge. Wet and dry, three directions, photographed. Verbal indication before they leave.
Results against UKSRG bands, surface roughness, photos, surveyor's opinion. Drafted same evening as the visit.
UKAS-accredited PDF inside 72 hours of the visit. Suitable for insurer, solicitor or HSE submission.
Most Tameside 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.
