The case for it

Why test at all

Grip is invisible, and it slips away quietly as floors wear and cleaning routines drift. A test sets a clear figure against it — long before anyone discovers the problem the hard way.

How a visit goes

From booking to report

I

We come to you

On site, at a time that suits — out of hours where that keeps the doors open.

II

We measure it

Wet and dry, with the pendulum and, where it matters, surface roughness.

III

You receive proof

A clear, accredited report an insurer, the HSE or CIW will accept.

Where the duty lies

The principle is long-established: anyone responsible for a floor the public or staff use must keep it safe and be able to show they have checked. That follows from the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Workplace Regulations, and across Welsh care settings, Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) expects slip risk to be properly managed. A measured value is the evidence.

Independent to the core

We are wholly independent — we supply no flooring, recommend no coatings and earn nothing on what follows — so the figure we give you is simply the figure. It is produced by the same UKAS-accredited laboratory that has tested floors for Amazon, Gatwick, British Airways and TUI, and which examines more than 300 flooring products each year.
