Pendulum slip resistance testing for Maidstone 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 Maidstone-area work comes from schools and universities and shopping 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 Kent, including schools, restaurants and supermarkets. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical Maidstone call-out: a fall near a leaking refrigerator in a back-of-house corridor. 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 Maidstone 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 Maidstone site address, scope, access arrangements, and a fixed price. Quote in writing within the hour.

Most Maidstone 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.
