UNDERSTAND YOUR SURFACES
Built for busy buildings.
From a rain-exposed entrance to a polished lobby, on-site slip testing shows how the surfaces people use every day perform in the conditions that matter. Melbourne builders can price a slip testing tender or book a slip test before handover. Aged care and retirement living operators can book slip testing for aged care facilities.

GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you book.
What does a slip test tell me?
It measures the slip resistance of the surfaces assessed under the recorded test conditions. Results help inform decisions about flooring and maintenance; they are one part of managing slip risk.
How much does testing cost?
The quote depends on the property location, number of test areas, surface types and access arrangements. Send your site details so Premrest can confirm the scope and price.
Does every floor need the same rating?
No. The relevant specification depends on the surface, its use and the applicable requirements. Provide any project specification or requested classification when enquiring.
What if a result needs attention?
Premrest can discuss floor-care or rectification options. The appropriate next step depends on the cause and the surface; follow-up testing can help assess changes.
