Why Stratford-upon-Avon needs real PTV data.
Leisure operators in Stratford-upon-Avon see slip claims weekly in peak season. Pool surrounds, bar floors, wet entrance lobbies and decked terraces all require defensible PTV records — not just a manufacturer's R-rating.

Pendulum testing. Not opinion.
The pendulum method — defined in BS 7976 and BS EN 16165, and referenced throughout HSE guidance — is the only test HSE considers reliable on wet or contaminated floors. A rubber slider swings from a fixed height and drags across the test surface; energy lost to friction is recorded as a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) on a scale of 0 to 150.
HSE classifies any PTV below 25 as a high slip potential. 25–35 is moderate. A PTV of 36 or above, measured wet and dry with the correct reference slider, is the benchmark for a floor considered safe under normal use. Every report we produce in Stratford-upon-Avon is issued under our UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation — the method, the technician and the equipment are all independently audited.
