Pendulum slip resistance testing for High Wycombe property managers, hospitality operators, insurers and solicitors. Same-day where possible on site as standard. UKAS-accredited reports inside 72 hours of the visit.
South East floors that pass the dry test sometimes drop dramatically when wet — a common pattern in entrance lobbies, retail thresholds and any external paving that gets cleaned with the wrong product.
Most of our High Wycombe-area work comes from hotels and pub groups and schools and universities. 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 Buckinghamshire, including high-street retailers, leisure centres and schools. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical High Wycombe 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 High Wycombe bookings is three days end-to-end. Same-day visits are sometimes possible if a surveyor is already in South East — quickest way to find out is to ring.
Quickest is to ring. We'll agree the High Wycombe site address, scope, access arrangements, and a fixed price. Quote in writing within the hour.

Most High Wycombe 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.
