Offices & Corporate Premises — Slip Testing in Birmingham

Pendulum slip testing for offices in Birmingham

Birmingham Slip Testing — operated by Surface Performance Ltd under UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, Lab Schedule No. 7933 — provides BS 7976-2 pendulum slip resistance testing to headquarters offices, professional services firms, multi-tenant office buildings, serviced offices and co-working spaces across Birmingham, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, the Black Country and the wider West Midlands.

The pendulum test, carried out in accordance with BS 7976-2:2002+A1:2013, is the preferred pedestrian slip test method recommended by the Health and Safety Executive and the UK Slip Resistance Group. It is the only slip test evidence accepted by UK courts in civil slip injury claims.

High-risk zones in offices

Every office environment has its own slip risk profile. Our typical survey scope covers main reception, lobbies, lifts and lift lobbies, kitchen and break-out areas, customer toilets, atrium spaces and external entrances.

Regulatory framework

Reports are written to align with the regulatory framework that applies to offices — including the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, BCO guidance and corporate insurance underwriting standards.

Who we work with

Our typical client base in this sector includes office managers, FM directors, building managers and corporate H&S teams. We deliver single-site testing alongside group-level programmes for multi-site operators across Birmingham and the wider region.

What's included in every survey

• BS 7976-2 pendulum slip testing in both dry and wet (contaminated) conditions, with the appropriate slider (Slider 96 shod, Slider 55 barefoot).
• Surface roughness (Rz) measurement on smooth surfaces where pendulum results alone could mislead.
• Photographic and locational evidence at every test point.
• UKAS-endorsed report within five working days.
• Independent recommendations — we don't sell flooring or anti-slip treatments.
