Slip Testing Wrexham

Wrexham · Wrecsam

Either your floor grips, or it doesn’t.

We settle it. Independent, UKAS-accredited slip testing across the city and borough of Wrexham — measured wet and dry, with a report that holds up.

01

The problem with grip

It’s invisible. A floor that’s fine in the dry can throw someone the moment it’s wet, and grip keeps fading as a surface wears and cleaning habits change. You can’t see it — but you can measure it, and the HSE is clear it’s the biggest cause of serious injury at work.

How we measure it

1

We come to you

On site, at a time that suits — out of hours where that keeps things 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

Your legal duty

There’s no grey area. If people use your floors, the law makes you responsible for keeping them safe and for checking — the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Workplace Regulations. In Welsh care settings, Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) expects slip risk managed and shown. A pendulum value is what proof looks like.

04

Why independence is the point

We don’t lay floors, sell coatings or take a cut from anyone who does — so the figure isn’t shaded by what we’d like to sell you. It comes from the same UKAS-accredited lab that’s tested floors for Amazon, Gatwick, British Airways and TUI, running 300-plus flooring products through testing a year.
