Slip testing stone, terrazzo & polished concrete

Marble, granite, terrazzo and polished concrete look superb in a foyer — and are some of the most slippery floors there are once they’re wet.

Where we find it in Staffordshire
Hotel and office receptions, civic buildings, shopping centres and showrooms.
Why it can be a slip risk
A high polish is exactly what cuts the grip. Add rain walked in at the door and a polished stone or concrete floor can sit deep in the high-risk band when wet, even though it looks immaculate.
What we’d do about a poor result
Options range from an anti-slip treatment, to a honed rather than polished finish, to generous matting at entrances. We measure it wet, show you where it stands, and re-test after any work.

How we test it

  • A UKAS-accredited pendulum test, wet and dry, using the correct rubber slider for how the floor is used
  • A Pendulum Test Value for each area, against the recognised thresholds
  • A clear report in 2–3 working days, with independent recommendations
  • A re-test after any remedial work, to prove the floor now performs

Independent, so no upsell

We test floors; we don’t sell flooring, coatings or cleaning. Whatever we tell you about this surface, there’s nothing we’re selling off the back of it.
