Pendulum slip testing for construction & handover sites across Milton Keynes, performed under our UKAS ISO 17025 accreditation. Milton Keynes duty-holders face a planned-city retail estate and one of the UK's largest distribution-warehouse hubs, and the evidential standard expected of any slip-risk assessment scales accordingly.
Milton Keynes's construction & handover estate concentrates around centre:mk, theDistrict and Stadium MK, with a wider catchment across Bletchley, Wolverton, Newport Pagnell, Stony Stratford, Woburn Sands and the rest of Buckinghamshire. The HSE region of competence is East.
Within this sector, the typical risk vectors are specification drift between design and installation, treatment regimes that void manufacturer warranties, snagging defects. Pre-handover slip testing prevents costly post-occupation remediation and protects against long-tail PI exposure. The duty-holder is regulated by the CDM Regulations 2015, the HSE, building control and the ultimate end-user / operator, and pre-completion slip testing is the cleanest evidential mechanism for resolving installation defect disputes between main contractor, sub-contractor and client.
Typical surfaces we test in Milton Keynes construction & handover sites include newly-installed flooring of every type, with manufacturer specification verification. Where the surface is wet, contaminated, or in a barefoot zone, the appropriate slider and contamination protocol is selected at the point of test.
We default to BS EN 16165:2021 Annex C for in-situ pedestrian pendulum testing, supplemented with BS 7976-2 where a client specification or insurer protocol requires it. Sliders are selected per application — Four-S for shod-foot, TRL for highway-type surfaces, Wet-Barefoot for poolside if specified.
For construction & handover specifically: specification verification testing on all wet-area, entrance, ramp and changing facility surfaces before practical completion.
Reports are PDF-delivered within 24 hours of the site visit. They include the full PTV dataset, photography, calibration cert references, UKSRG classification, methodology narrative, and remediation recommendations where any test point falls below the relevant slip-risk threshold.

Yes. Our pendulum slip testing is performed under our UKAS ISO 17025 accreditation, using calibrated equipment with traceable certification. UKAS accreditation is held by a minority of UK slip-testing providers and is the most defensible credential for an evidential report.
You receive a clear narrative of why it failed, which test points are problematic, and a tiered set of remediation options — operational controls, surface treatment, or replacement. We are independent of treatment manufacturers, so the advice is free of conflict.
Yes. Reports are formatted to meet the evidential standards expected by UK insurers, the HSE region East office, and the courts. Calibration certificates and chain-of-custody documentation are included as standard.
Yes. Our Milton Keynes field cover extends across Bletchley, Wolverton, Newport Pagnell, Stony Stratford, Woburn Sands and the wider Buckinghamshire at no additional travel cost. Single fixed-fee quote, inclusive of travel.
