Pendulum slip resistance testing for Ilkeston property managers, hospitality operators, insurers and solicitors. Next working day on site as standard. UKAS-accredited reports inside 72 hours of the visit.
Manufacturing and food-processing floors across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire get the most testing — particularly where the cleaning regime has changed since the floor was specified.
Most of our Ilkeston-area work comes from distribution warehouses and NHS estates. 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 Derbyshire, including pubs, village shops and care homes. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical Ilkeston call-out: a slip on a coated ramp at a goods entrance. 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 Ilkeston bookings is three days end-to-end. Same-day visits are sometimes possible if a surveyor is already in East Midlands — quickest way to find out is to ring.
Quickest is to ring. We'll agree the Ilkeston site address, scope, access arrangements, and a fixed price. Quote in writing within the hour.
UKAS-trained, with a calibrated pendulum and roughness gauge. Wet and dry, three directions, photographed. Verbal indication before they leave.
Results against UKSRG bands, surface roughness, photos, surveyor's opinion. Drafted same evening as the visit.
UKAS-accredited PDF inside 72 hours of the visit. Suitable for insurer, solicitor or HSE submission.
Most Ilkeston 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.
Pick up the phone if it's urgent — we'll be on your floor next working day. For everything else, the form does the job.
