Slip Testing
London.

London is the UK’s largest slip testing market by a very wide margin. The density of hotels, retail, hospitality, transport hubs, corporate estate, and listed heritage buildings makes the capital a priority market for UKAS-accredited testing.

Local characteristics

What Makes London Different.

London combines historic paving that has been walked on for centuries with brand-new polished concrete in developments like King’s Cross and Battersea. The extremes produce very different slip profiles — ancient stone becomes lethally polished through sheer volume of footfall, while new high-gloss concrete is often specified without slip-resistance input.

Recent work

A Recent London Project.

We tested a Mayfair five-star hotel lobby following a guest slip. Post-incident testing revealed wet PTV of 18 — the historic marble was safe in its original condition but decades of footfall had produced a mirror finish indistinguishable by eye. Remediation involved non-destructive acid-etching that lifted wet PTV to 38, preserving the heritage appearance.
