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.
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:
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.
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.
All our services are available across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands area — on-site BS 7976 / BS EN 16165 pendulum testing, laboratory sample certification, forensic expert witness work, and annual portfolio testing contracts.
