Pendulum slip resistance testing for Thurso property managers, hospitality operators, insurers and solicitors. One to three working days on site as standard. UKAS-accredited reports inside 72 hours of the visit.
Scotland splits roughly into Central Belt (Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling) and everywhere else. The Belt is straightforward next-working-day work; the Highlands and islands need a day or two of notice.
Most of our Thurso-area work comes from hospitality and pub groups 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 Highland, including country hotels, schools and pubs. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical Thurso call-out: a contractor injured on a freshly-mopped warehouse floor. 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 Thurso bookings is three days end-to-end. Same-day visits are sometimes possible if a surveyor is already in Scotland — quickest way to find out is to ring.
Quickest is to ring. We'll agree the Thurso site address, scope, access arrangements, and a fixed price. Quote in writing within the hour.

Most Thurso 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 three working days. For everything else, the form does the job.
