Coastal tourism town with Heritage Coast beaches and an ancient town centre.
Llantwit Major (Llanilltud Fawr) sits within the Vale of Glamorgan principal area of South Wales. Its commercial profile centres on tourism & heritage, which shapes the type of slip-testing work we typically carry out here.

Why Llantwit Major businesses test their floors.
Every commercial premises in Wales — whether a corner shop in Llantwit Major 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.
