UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across Huddersfield — to BS 7976 and HSE standards. Reports your insurer, HSE inspector and court will recognise. We don't sell flooring, coatings or anti-slip products.
Huddersfield combines a substantial textile-engineering heritage with modern advanced manufacturing — David Brown gears, Cummins Turbo Technologies and Reckitt Benckiser all maintain major sites here. The Kingsgate shopping centre, the University of Huddersfield, and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary add retail, education and healthcare dimensions to a slip-testing market that is consistently busy across multiple sectors.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Huddersfield — from a single shop owner to a national retail estate — has a legal obligation to assess and manage slip risk. A UKAS-accredited Pendulum Test Value (PTV) report is the strongest documented evidence available, and it carries the same weight in Huddersfield as it does anywhere else in the UK.
Surface Performance Ltd, trading as Test-Slip, has UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation — the highest level of laboratory accreditation in the UK. We don't sell flooring, coatings, mats or anti-slip retrofits. The only thing we sell is the test, the report, and the qualified opinion behind both — so the result you get is the result the floor produced, not the result that suits a sales pipeline.
Huddersfield's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire and the M62 corridor are familiar with the operational realities of each.
Engineering and advanced manufacturing across the Colne Valley and Lockwood.
Retail at Kingsgate, the Packhorse Centre and New Street.
University and healthcare at the University of Huddersfield and HRI.
Beyond these focal areas, we test floors across hospitality, healthcare, education, transport, public-sector buildings and food production right across Kingsgate, St George's Square, the University, Lindley and Lockwood — and the wider West Yorkshire region.
Every Pendulum slip test in Huddersfield produces a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) figure. The HSE classifies floors against this value — a single accredited test gives you the evidence to demonstrate which zone your floor sits in.
