Slip testing in Derbyshire.
We measure how much grip your floors really have — wet and dry — and give you a UKAS-accredited report that stands up to insurers, the HSE and the courts.
PTV 36+ = low slip risk
Why are you testing?
Whatever brought you here, start with the reason.
Most people come to us for one of four reasons. Find yours — the advice is a little different for each.

Slip resistance drifts as floors wear and cleaning changes. Testing on a sensible cycle keeps you ahead of it.

The pendulum test settles it: a measured Pendulum Test Value for every area, wet and dry.
36 or above is the HSE’s low-risk threshold — about a one-in-a-million chance of a slip. More on the test →
