Pendulum slip resistance testing for North Shields property managers, hospitality operators, insurers and solicitors. Next working day on site as standard. UKAS-accredited reports inside 72 hours of the visit.
Northumberland is the longest single drive we make from Sunbury for a regular booking. We schedule it around other regional work where we can.
Most of our North Shields-area work comes from industrial estates and NHS estates. 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 Tyne and Wear, including schools, restaurants and supermarkets. The methodology is the same on each one. The pendulum reading is the pendulum reading.
Typical North Shields call-out: a slip on a coated yard surface after fuel contamination. 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.
Standard turnaround for North Shields bookings is three days end-to-end. Same-day visits are sometimes possible if a surveyor is already in North East — quickest way to find out is to ring.
Quickest is to ring. We'll agree the North Shields site address, scope, access arrangements, and a fixed price. Quote in writing within the hour.

Most North Shields 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.
Pick up the phone if it's urgent — we'll be on your floor next working day. For everything else, the form does the job.
