Is your floor a slip risk? Find out for certain.
You can’t tell how much grip a floor has by looking at it. We measure it — wet and dry — with the pendulum test, and give you one clear number per area plus the report to prove it. Straightforward evidence for your risk assessment, your insurer and the CQC.
A reading of 36 or more is a low slip risk

What testing tells you
One measured number, not a guess
A pendulum test recreates the moment a heel slips and measures how much the floor resists it. The result is the Pendulum Test Value (PTV). Because slips happen on wet floors, the wet reading is the one that matters most.
36 or above is the level the HSE regards as safe — about a one-in-a-million chance of a slip. How this fits your risk assessment →
