Take the guesswork out of floor safety.
A slippery floor never looks slippery. So instead of hoping, we measure it — an independent, accredited reading of how much grip your floors really have, anywhere on the island.
In plain terms
What a slip test actually tells you
Grip is invisible, and it fades as floors wear and cleaning changes. A test puts a clear number on it — before someone finds out the hard way.
We come to you
On site, at a time that suits — out of hours if that keeps things running.
We measure it
Wet and dry, with a calibrated pendulum and, where it matters, surface roughness.
You get the proof
A clear, accredited report an insurer, the HSE or CIW will accept.
Two readings
How the numbers work
The pendulum reading
The texture reading
We use a pendulum — a calibrated arm with a rubber foot that sweeps the floor the way a heel would if it slipped — and read off a Pendulum Test Value; 36 or more counts as low risk. On wet or greasy floors we also measure the fine texture (Rz), which lets a surface keep its grip. We’re accredited for both, to BS 7976-2 and BS EN 16165. More on the method →
Where you stand
What the law asks of you
The responsibility is simpler than it sounds: if people use the floor, you’re expected to keep it safe and to have checked. That comes from the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Workplace Regulations — and in care settings across Wales, Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) looks for slip risk to be managed actively. A measured value is the proof that backs you up.
Why we’re independent
We have no flooring to sell, no coatings to recommend and no commission riding on the result — so the number you get is simply the number. It comes from the same UKAS-accredited laboratory that has tested floors for the likes of Amazon, Gatwick, British Airways and TUI, and which assesses more than 300 flooring products a year.

Ask us
See where your floors stand
Tell us the surface, a rough size in square metres and where you are on the island, and a fixed, no-obligation quote comes back — usually the same day. We’re happy to work out of hours so trading and visitors aren’t disrupted.
Independent and ISO/IEC 17025 accredited (UKAS Testing Laboratory No. 7933). We test floors; we don’t sell flooring or treatments.
