Pendulum slip resistance testing for Wellingborough property managers, hospitality operators, insurers and solicitors. Next working day on site as standard. UKAS-accredited reports inside 72 hours of the visit.
Boots, Halfords, Next and a handful of other Midlands-headquartered retailers run a tight sign-off process for new stores. Independent PTV testing on handover is standard practice for most of them.
Most of our Wellingborough-area work comes from NHS estates and high-street retail. 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 Northamptonshire, including restaurants, supermarkets and care homes. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical Wellingborough 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 Wellingborough bookings is three days end-to-end. Same-day visits are sometimes possible if a surveyor is already in East Midlands — quickest way to find out is to ring.
Quickest is to ring. We'll agree the Wellingborough site address, scope, access arrangements, and a fixed price. Quote in writing within the hour.

Most Wellingborough 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.
