Slip Testing Flintshire

Flintshire · Sir y Fflint · Deeside

Floor grip, measured to the number.

Independent, UKAS-accredited slip testing across Flintshire and Deeside — pendulum and roughness, wet and dry, with a report that stands up to an insurer, the HSE or CIW.

01 / What we measure

Two readings, both accredited

Grip can’t be judged by eye, so we take it two ways that back each other up — the pendulum, and where it matters, the surface texture.

Pendulum — PTV
0–24High risk
25–35Moderate
36 and overLow risk
Roughness — Rz (microns)
Under 10High risk
10–20Moderate
Over 20Low risk

02 / How it runs

On site, around you

1

We come out

To the site, at a time that suits — out of hours if that keeps the line moving.

2

We test it

Wet and dry, with the pendulum and, where needed, surface roughness.

3

You get proof

A clear, accredited report — values, areas, the lot.

03 / The duty

Where the duty sits

The law’s straightforward: if people are on the floor, you keep it safe and you check it — the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Workplace Regulations. In Welsh care settings, Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) expects that risk managed and evidenced. A pendulum value is evidence; a mopped floor and good intentions aren’t.

04 / Independent

No thumb on the scale

We don’t supply flooring, sell coatings or earn a penny on what you do next — so the reading is just the reading. It comes from the same UKAS-accredited lab that’s tested floors for Amazon, Gatwick, British Airways and TUI, running 300-plus products through the lab each year.
