Leisure & Sport slip testing across Cambridge, the Cambridgeshire, and the Grafton, Mill Road and the colleges. Our pendulum methodology is UKAS-accredited; our reports are court-defensible; our turnaround is 24 hours from site visit to signed PDF.
Cambridge's leisure & sport estate concentrates around the Grafton, Mill Road and the colleges, with a wider catchment across Trumpington, Cherry Hinton, Chesterton, Newnham, Histon and the rest of Cambridgeshire. The HSE region of competence is East.
Within this sector, the typical risk vectors are wet barefoot zones, chlorine and chemical contamination, chemical breakdown of grip over time, dynamic-load contamination. Pool surrounds and changing-village floors are the highest-risk slip surfaces in any leisure portfolio. The duty-holder is regulated by Sport England, the Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group, your local authority and the HSE, and wet-barefoot environments require specialist ramp testing under DIN 51097 in addition to standard pendulum methodology.
Typical surfaces we test in Cambridge leisure & sport sites include anti-slip ceramic, slip-resistant vinyl, sports-grade rubber, poolside porcelain, polyurethane. 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 leisure & sport specifically: BS EN 16165:2021 Annex C pendulum plus, for poolside, DIN 51097 wet-barefoot ramp characterisation where required.
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 Cambridge field cover extends across Trumpington, Cherry Hinton, Chesterton, Newnham, Histon and the wider Cambridgeshire at no additional travel cost. Single fixed-fee quote, inclusive of travel.
