Construction & Handover sites in Belfast face a particular slip-risk profile shaped by a regenerating waterfront and a high-density hospitality estate. We provide UKAS ISO 17025 accredited pendulum slip testing across Northern Ireland, with reports written to forensic standard.
Belfast's construction & handover estate concentrates around Victoria Square, Cathedral Quarter and Titanic Quarter, with a wider catchment across South Belfast, East Belfast, Lisburn, Castlereagh, Bangor and the rest of Northern Ireland. The HSE region of competence is Northern Ireland (HSENI).
Within this sector, the typical risk vectors are specification drift between design and installation, treatment regimes that void manufacturer warranties, snagging defects. Pre-handover slip testing prevents costly post-occupation remediation and protects against long-tail PI exposure. The duty-holder is regulated by the CDM Regulations 2015, the HSE, building control and the ultimate end-user / operator, and pre-completion slip testing is the cleanest evidential mechanism for resolving installation defect disputes between main contractor, sub-contractor and client.
Typical surfaces we test in Belfast construction & handover sites include newly-installed flooring of every type, with manufacturer specification verification. Where the surface is wet, contaminated, or in a barefoot zone, the appropriate slider and contamination protocol is selected at the point of test.
All our pendulum work is performed under our UKAS ISO 17025 accreditation, using equipment calibrated against UKAS-traceable references. Our reports include the full PTV dataset, photographs of test points, calibration cert references, methodology narrative, classification table and remediation guidance.
For construction & handover specifically: specification verification testing on all wet-area, entrance, ramp and changing facility surfaces before practical completion.
Reports are PDF-delivered within 24 hours of the site visit. They include the full PTV dataset, photography, calibration cert references, UKSRG classification, methodology narrative, and remediation recommendations where any test point falls below the relevant slip-risk threshold.

Yes. Our pendulum slip testing is performed under our UKAS ISO 17025 accreditation, using calibrated equipment with traceable certification. UKAS accreditation is held by a minority of UK slip-testing providers and is the most defensible credential for an evidential report.
You receive a clear narrative of why it failed, which test points are problematic, and a tiered set of remediation options — operational controls, surface treatment, or replacement. We are independent of treatment manufacturers, so the advice is free of conflict.
Yes. Reports are formatted to meet the evidential standards expected by UK insurers, the HSE region Northern Ireland (HSENI) office, and the courts. Calibration certificates and chain-of-custody documentation are included as standard.
Yes. Our Belfast field cover extends across South Belfast, East Belfast, Lisburn, Castlereagh, Bangor and the wider Northern Ireland at no additional travel cost. Single fixed-fee quote, inclusive of travel.
