Insurance & Legal sites in Edinburgh face a particular slip-risk profile shaped by historic stone setts, granite paving and the world's largest arts festival in August. We provide UKAS ISO 17025 accredited pendulum slip testing across Lothian, with reports written to forensic standard.
Edinburgh's insurance & legal estate concentrates around the Royal Mile, Princes Street and George Street, with a wider catchment across Leith, Stockbridge, Morningside, Newington, Corstorphine and the rest of Lothian. The HSE region of competence is Scotland.
Within this sector, the typical risk vectors are loss of evidence due to remediation, refurbishment or routine cleaning before testing can occur. Slip-related personal-injury claims continue to make up the largest single category of UK public-liability insurance loss. The duty-holder is regulated by the Civil Procedure Rules, particularly CPR Part 35, and the courts, and expert evidence under CPR Part 35 must be impartial, independent, and directed to the court — not to the instructing party.
Typical surfaces we test in Edinburgh insurance & legal sites include any surface relevant to a pleaded claim, with chain-of-custody documentation. Where the surface is wet, contaminated, or in a barefoot zone, the appropriate slider and contamination protocol is selected at the point of test.
All our pendulum work is performed under our UKAS ISO 17025 accreditation, using equipment calibrated against UKAS-traceable references. Our reports include the full PTV dataset, photographs of test points, calibration cert references, methodology narrative, classification table and remediation guidance.
For insurance & legal specifically: rapid mobilisation, full chain-of-custody evidence pack, witness-statement-suitable narrative report.
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.
