Pendulum slip resistance testing for Newtownards property managers, hospitality operators, insurers and solicitors. One to two working days on site as standard. UKAS-accredited reports inside 72 hours of the visit.
Cross-border work between Northern Ireland and the Republic is common — same methodology, same UKAS scope, same standard. The reports look identical.
Most of our Newtownards-area work comes from industrial floors 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 Down, including pubs, high-street retailers and leisure centres. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical Newtownards 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 Newtownards bookings is three days end-to-end. Same-day visits are sometimes possible if a surveyor is already in Northern Ireland — quickest way to find out is to ring.
Quickest is to ring. We'll agree the Newtownards site address, scope, access arrangements, and a fixed price. Quote in writing within the hour.

Most Newtownards 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 one to two working days. For everything else, the form does the job.
