Slip Testing
Birmingham.

Birmingham is the UK’s second city and the major commercial centre of the Midlands. The combination of Bullring and Grand Central retail, the expanding Paradise Circus corporate estate, and the HS2 construction programme drives consistent demand for UKAS-accredited slip testing across the city.

Who We Test For In Birmingham.

Birmingham (West Midlands, West Midlands) is the UK’s second city and major retail/commercial centre. Our Birmingham client base spans multiple sectors — public, commercial, industrial, and legal. The sectors we most regularly test in Birmingham include:

Local characteristics

What Makes Birmingham Different.

Birmingham’s post-war concrete architecture means much of the city’s public realm uses concrete or stone specifications that were never designed around modern PTV thresholds. Regeneration programmes routinely need slip testing to bring legacy surfaces up to acceptable modern standards.

Recent work

A Recent Birmingham Project.

We carried out a full floor safety audit at a major Birmingham city-centre shopping centre following a rise in winter slip incidents. The audit identified three specific entrance zones where wet PTV fell below 25 during wet weather. Solution: a seasonal matting system and documented trigger thresholds for closing entrances during heavy rain.
