If you operate a healthcare & care homes site in Nottingham, slip testing is one of the cheapest forms of insurance you can buy. Our team provides BS EN 16165:2021 pendulum testing across Old Market Square, the Lace Market and Victoria Centre and the wider East Midlands, with signed reports inside 24 hours.
Nottingham's healthcare & care homes estate concentrates around Old Market Square, the Lace Market and Victoria Centre, with a wider catchment across West Bridgford, Beeston, Mapperley, Wollaton, Sherwood and the rest of East Midlands. The HSE region of competence is Midlands.
Within this sector, the typical risk vectors are vulnerable users, mobility-aid contact patches, frequent contamination from bodily fluids, deep-cleaning cycles. Slip and fall accidents are a leading cause of injury in adults over 65 — and remain a top-three contributor to NHS bed-day costs. The duty-holder is regulated by the Care Quality Commission, NHS Estates, the HSE and the Coroner's Court, and the duty of care to vulnerable patients is materially higher and the evidential standard for any incident report is correspondingly elevated.
Typical surfaces we test in Nottingham healthcare & care homes sites include vinyl safety flooring, sheet vinyl with welded seams, polyurethane resin, anti-slip coatings. Where the surface is wet, contaminated, or in a barefoot zone, the appropriate slider and contamination protocol is selected at the point of test.
Testing is in accordance with BS EN 16165:2021 Annex C and the UKSRG 2022 Guidelines. Pendulum measurements are taken in multiple directions per location, both wet and dry where contamination is foreseeable, and reported as PTV with UKSRG slip-risk classification (low / moderate / high).
For healthcare & care homes specifically: wet and dry pendulum testing is essential — and care-home corridors should also be considered for ramp-test (R-rating) characterisation.
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.

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.
