MELBOURNE / SITE PLANNING
Plan a slip test around your Melbourne building.
A good test starts with a useful site brief. For a multi-tenant office or owners corporation, that means identifying shared entrances, changes in flooring and the times those spaces can be accessed.
Entrances after rain
List the path from the footpath to the lift lobby, including matting edges and changes from external paving to internal stone or tile. Tell us where water is usually tracked inside.
Shared spaces, clear access
For owners corporations, identify who can approve access to foyers, stairs and common corridors. Include concierge hours and any areas that need resident notice.
Cleaning and wear
Note recent polishing, coatings, deep cleaning or a change of cleaning product. Include high-traffic routes where the floor may behave differently from less-used edges.
What to send with your enquiry
- Property address, suburb and a contact for access.
- Surface types and an approximate number of areas to assess.
- Why you need testing, including any requested deadline.
- Relevant specifications and details of past treatments.
Coverage and scheduling
Enquire about testing in Melbourne CBD & Docklands, Inner north & west, Eastern & south-eastern suburbs. Availability, travel and access requirements are confirmed with your quote. This website is operated by Premrest; it does not represent a separate local office. Builders pricing a specification can use the slip testing tender notes; if the floor is already in, see slip test before handover.
SITE BRIEF QUESTIONS
Preparing your Melbourne building.
Why do rain-exposed entrances matter in a Melbourne site brief?
Melbourne weather changes quickly, so the path from the footpath to the lift lobby is often where water is tracked inside. Note matting edges, the change from external paving to internal stone or tile, and where the floor stays wet after rain. This helps Premrest decide which surfaces belong in a wet pendulum test.
What access does an owners corporation need to arrange?
Identify who can approve access to foyers, stairs and common corridors, and whether the building manager, concierge or a committee member will meet the testing team. Include concierge hours, induction requirements and any areas that need resident notice so the visit can be scheduled without disrupting the building.
What should I include in my slip testing enquiry?
Send the property address, suburb and a contact for access; the surface types and an approximate number of areas to assess; why you need testing and any deadline; and relevant specifications or details of past treatments. You can send these details through the contact page or by phone on 1300 207 915.
Do I need to prepare the floors before the test?
Keep to your normal cleaning routine so the floor is assessed as people actually use it, and tell Premrest about any recent polishing, coatings, deep cleaning or change of cleaning product. Point out high-traffic routes where wear may make the surface behave differently from less-used edges.
