Pendulum slip resistance testing for Knaresborough property managers, hospitality operators, insurers and solicitors. Next working day on site as standard. UKAS-accredited reports inside 72 hours of the visit.
Hull, Grimsby and the Humber estuary pick up a steady flow of food-processing and cold-store testing. The travel from Sunbury is the only thing that puts these into the next-working-day band rather than same-day.
Most of our Knaresborough-area work comes from industrial estates and retail centres. 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 North Yorkshire, including schools, pubs and village shops. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical Knaresborough call-out: a customer slip in a wet entrance lobby on a rainy day. 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 Knaresborough bookings is three days end-to-end. Same-day visits are sometimes possible if a surveyor is already in Yorkshire — quickest way to find out is to ring.
Quickest is to ring. We'll agree the Knaresborough 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.

UKAS-accredited PDF inside 72 hours of the visit. Suitable for insurer, solicitor or HSE submission.
Most Knaresborough 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.
