Pendulum slip resistance testing for Ashington property managers, hospitality operators, insurers and solicitors. Next working day on site as standard. UKAS-accredited reports inside 72 hours of the visit.
North East work is concentrated around the Tyne and Tees corridors. Newcastle's retail and hospitality core, the South Shields and Sunderland coastal strips, and the industrial belts running west toward Durham.
Most of our Ashington-area work comes from logistics depots and pub and hotel groups. 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 Northumberland, including village shops, care homes and community halls. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical Ashington call-out: a fall on a tiled pub floor after a cellar overflow. 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 Ashington bookings is three days end-to-end. Same-day visits are sometimes possible if a surveyor is already in North East — quickest way to find out is to ring.
Quickest is to ring. We'll agree the Ashington site address, scope, access arrangements, and a fixed price. Quote in writing within the hour.

Most Ashington 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.
