We are a UKAS ISO 17025 accredited slip-testing laboratory serving workplace & industrial duty-holders in Milton Keynes and Buckinghamshire. Reports issued inside 24 hours, fixed-fee quotes returned inside four working hours.
Milton Keynes's workplace & industrial 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 oil and grease contamination, dust, foreign-object debris, MHE traffic interaction with pedestrian routes. Slips and trips are the single most-reported cause of major workplace injury in UK industrial settings, accounting for over 30% of RIDDOR-reportable incidents annually. The duty-holder is regulated by the HSE under HSWA 1974, MHSWR 1999, and Workplace (HSW) Regulations 1992, and the duty under WHSWR 1992 to provide a floor 'not slippery so as to expose any person to a risk to their health or safety' is enforced via routine HSE inspection.
Typical surfaces we test in Milton Keynes workplace & industrial sites include sealed concrete, epoxy, polyurethane resin, anti-slip resin with aggregate, painted steel walkways. Where the surface is wet, contaminated, or in a barefoot zone, the appropriate slider and contamination protocol is selected at the point of test.
Our engineers test to BS EN 16165:2021 (the current European pendulum standard) and BS 7976-2 where required. We carry calibrated CRT-SRT/Wessex pendulums, Four-S sliders for shod-foot wet testing, and TRL-rubber sliders where the application requires it. Every report carries calibration cert references and a UKAS schedule reference.
For workplace & industrial specifically: BS EN 16165:2021 pendulum testing in production, MHE and pedestrian zones, both clean and contaminated.
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.
