Pendulum slip resistance testing for London property managers, hospitality operators, insurers and solicitors. Same-day where possible on site as standard. UKAS-accredited reports inside 72 hours of the visit.
London produces the highest volume of slip-and-fall claims in the country. It also produces some of the most contested ones — high property values, complex multi-tenant buildings, and insurers who want hard evidence before they settle anything.
Most of our London-area work comes from transport interchanges and retail 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 Greater London, including office towers, shopping centres and hospital sites. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical London 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 London bookings is three days end-to-end. Same-day visits are sometimes possible if a surveyor is already in London — quickest way to find out is to ring.
Quickest is to ring. We'll agree the London site address, scope, access arrangements, and a fixed price. Quote in writing within the hour.

Most London 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.
