Grip Potential specialise in independent pedestrian slip risk assessment across the UK. We conduct slip risk assessments daily, in a wide range of environments and for a wide range of clients, on the basis of the following;

We test to BS 7976-2 (The Pendulum Test), the UK HSE and UKSRG preferred in-situ slip test method.

All test equipment carries the appropriate UKAS calibration certification, which is freely available on request.

We remain independent from any anti-slip solution providers, ensuring an impartial report as opposed to a sales pitch.

Our reports are used regularly in slip and fall personal injury cases, by lawyers, solicitors, and forensic engineers.

Our pricing is competitive UK wide, from Plymouth to Inverness. We aim to be the cheapest independent testers without compromising on the highest integrity of assessment/report required to present evidence to a court.

We are completely independent delivering the singular service of slip risk assessment. We are not the same as flooring companies, franchisees or part-time consultants offering slip testing as a side line, we are a limited company of expert slip risk consultants offering only professional and impartial assessments. Unlike many who use testing as a sales pitch we do not profit from any anti-slip solutions. This impartial approach allows us to use the most accurate tests and recommend the best solution to any non-compliant floors.
