Pendulum slip resistance testing for Welwyn Garden City property managers, hospitality operators, insurers and solicitors. Same-day where possible on site as standard. UKAS-accredited reports inside 72 hours of the visit.
Cold-store floors and food-service kitchens in the East often need testing against a representative contaminant rather than just water — usually a glycol or detergent solution that mimics the actual conditions on shift.
Most of our Welwyn Garden City-area work comes from retail parks and coastal hotels. 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 Hertfordshire, including high-street retailers, leisure centres and schools. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical Welwyn Garden City call-out: a slip on a coated yard surface after fuel contamination. 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 Welwyn Garden City bookings is three days end-to-end. Same-day visits are sometimes possible if a surveyor is already in East of England — quickest way to find out is to ring.
