Pendulum slip resistance testing for Whitby property managers, hospitality operators, insurers and solicitors. Next working day on site as standard. UKAS-accredited reports inside 72 hours of the visit.
Most Yorkshire instructions reach us through insurers and loss adjusters rather than direct from the property. The shape of the work is similar — get there fast, read the floor in its incident state, write it up cleanly.
Most of our Whitby-area work comes from retail centres and leisure operators. 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 North Yorkshire, including care homes, community halls and petrol forecourts. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical Whitby call-out: a fall on polished stone in a hotel reception. 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 Whitby bookings is three days end-to-end. Same-day visits are sometimes possible if a surveyor is already in Yorkshire — quickest way to find out is to ring.

Most Whitby 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.
