Border town and halfway point on Offa's Dyke Path.
Knighton (Tref-y-Clawdd) sits within the Powys principal area of Mid Wales. Its commercial profile centres on rural commerce, which shapes the type of slip-testing work we typically carry out here.

Attendance in Knighton is coordinated with our wider Powys schedule. Most site visits are booked within 7–14 working days; urgent post-incident attendance can often be arranged faster. All reporting is UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and delivered within 48 hours of the site visit.
Why Knighton businesses test their floors.
Every commercial premises in Wales — whether a corner shop in Knighton or a multi-site retailer operating across Cymru — carries a statutory duty under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 to assess and manage slip risk. Insurance providers increasingly require documented PTV evidence at renewal, particularly where a previous claim has been filed or defended.
The pendulum test is the method HSE explicitly references for assessing slip resistance under wet conditions — the conditions in which the overwhelming majority of slip incidents actually occur. A dry-only reading tells you very little about how a floor performs when spillage, rain drag-in, cleaning water or other contaminants are present.
