Slip testing in Leeds for leisure & sport duty-holders, accredited to UKAS ISO 17025 and aligned with HSE methodology. We cover West Yorkshire from a regional base and turn reports around inside one working day.
Leeds's leisure & sport estate concentrates around Trinity Leeds, the Headrow and the South Bank regeneration, with a wider catchment across Headingley, Roundhay, Bramley, Pudsey, Morley and the rest of West Yorkshire. The HSE region of competence is Yorkshire & Humber.
Within this sector, the typical risk vectors are wet barefoot zones, chlorine and chemical contamination, chemical breakdown of grip over time, dynamic-load contamination. Pool surrounds and changing-village floors are the highest-risk slip surfaces in any leisure portfolio. The duty-holder is regulated by Sport England, the Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group, your local authority and the HSE, and wet-barefoot environments require specialist ramp testing under DIN 51097 in addition to standard pendulum methodology.
Typical surfaces we test in Leeds leisure & sport sites include anti-slip ceramic, slip-resistant vinyl, sports-grade rubber, poolside porcelain, polyurethane. Where the surface is wet, contaminated, or in a barefoot zone, the appropriate slider and contamination protocol is selected at the point of test.
Test methodology follows the HSE's preferred in-situ method: the pendulum, calibrated and operated under our UKAS ISO 17025 schedule. Each test point is sampled five times per direction in two directions; results are averaged; PTVs are tabulated against UKSRG 2022 classification thresholds in the report.
For leisure & sport specifically: BS EN 16165:2021 Annex C pendulum plus, for poolside, DIN 51097 wet-barefoot ramp characterisation where required.
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 Yorkshire & Humber office, and the courts. Calibration certificates and chain-of-custody documentation are included as standard.
Yes. Our Leeds field cover extends across Headingley, Roundhay, Bramley, Pudsey, Morley and the wider West Yorkshire at no additional travel cost. Single fixed-fee quote, inclusive of travel.
