What we typically see in Manchester.

Lancashire coast hospitality is its own pattern. Blackpool, Lytham and Southport all run heavy seasonal footfall on surfaces that don't get retested between owners.

Most of our Manchester-area work comes from hotel groups and tourist attractions. The instructions tend to look the same across all of them — a slip has happened, a letter has arrived, or a new floor needs signing off before it goes into use.

We test at every kind of commercial premises across Greater Manchester, including office towers, shopping centres and hospital sites. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.

Typical Manchester call-out: a slip on a coated ramp at a goods entrance. We try to be on site fast enough to read the floor in roughly the same condition as the incident. Once it's been mopped, treated or recoated, the reading is no longer about the floor that hurt someone.

From phone call to signed report.

Standard turnaround for Manchester bookings is three days end-to-end. Same-day visits are sometimes possible if a surveyor is already in North West — quickest way to find out is to ring.

  1. Phone call and brief

    Quickest is to ring. We'll agree the Manchester site address, scope, access arrangements, and a fixed price. Quote in writing within the hour.

  2. Surveyor on site

    UKAS-trained, with a calibrated pendulum and roughness gauge. Wet and dry, three directions, photographed. Verbal indication before they leave.

  3. Draft

    Results against UKSRG bands, surface roughness, photos, surveyor's opinion. Drafted same evening as the visit.

  4. Signed report

    UKAS-accredited PDF inside 72 hours of the visit. Suitable for insurer, solicitor or HSE submission.

Other Greater Manchester towns we test in.

Most Manchester bookings can be combined with a same-route visit to a neighbouring town. Useful for retail estates and care home groups operating across multiple sites.
