From a failed report to a finished floor

We read the existing slip test report, look at the floor, trial the options on that floor, and recommend whichever solution works best on it.

How do you decide which fix to use?

We read the existing slip test report, look at the floor, trial the options on that floor, and recommend whichever solution works best on it.

We do not treat one product or brand as the only answer. Then we do the works and arrange a retest after treatment. A retest is a separate measurement. Our works report is not a compliance certificate.

How to fix a failed slip test?

To fix a floor that failed a slip test, work out why it failed, then deep clean, apply an anti-slip treatment, add a slip-resistant coating, or replace the surface, and retest after the works.

We work across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. The four options sit on treatments.

1. You send the report we are meant to read

The product is the PDF you already hold: an in-situ wet-pendulum or AS 4663 report, with locations, slider type, P-ratings and whatever notes the tester wrote. Photos of the floor help; they do not replace the table of results.

If you have been told a kitchen needs P4, a ramp needs P5, or a hospital wet area has to meet a figure drawn from HB 198 or the NCC, put that in the notes. If you do not know the target, say so. Guessing a rating in the form does not make it the right one.

2. We look at the floor and trial the options

We read the existing slip test report, look at the floor, trial the options on that floor, and recommend whichever solution works best on it: deep clean contamination or residue; anti-slip treatment on tile and stone; a slip-resistant coating; or replace the covering. It says why that path fits, and what would be wasted effort.

The opinion is advice for a contractor scope. A retest is a separate measurement. Our works report is not a compliance certificate.

3. You get a quote for those works

Price follows the opinion. The quote covers the recommended intervention, preparation, access and any making-good that belongs with it. If two paths are plausible, we say so and price the one we would do first — usually the lightest that can still reach the required rating.

4. We do the works on your site

Once you instruct us, we attend and carry out the agreed work. We work across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. The conversation on site is about that floor: hours of access, isolation, curing time, and what the covering will look like when we leave.

5. A retest is booked after, not instead

When the surface is ready to be measured again, book a retest with SlipAudit. That visit is a separate step. The document we leave after grinding, treating or replacing a floor describes the works. It is not a compliance certificate and it is not a substitute for a new pendulum reading.

What we need from you

  • The slip test PDF, even if it is a few months old.
  • Site address and the area type — kitchen, bathroom, entry, pool, hospital, school, or other.
  • The P-rating you have been asked to meet, if anyone has named one.
  • A deadline if an insurer, auditor or occupier has set one.
  • Anything about after-hours access, occupied wards, or a floor that cannot be taken out of service for long.

What you should not expect

  • A promised pass before we have read the report.
  • A universal coating that turns every finish into P5 overnight.
  • A works report that you can file as the new test.

The quote form is the start of the job. Call 1300 207 915 if the report is sitting on a desk and you would rather talk first. If you need the next-step answer first, start at what to do after a failed slip test. Pricing on-site testing into a package is on slip testing for tenders; a measurement before practical completion is on slip test before handover. A wet pendulum fail, a P-rating that is too low, or whether to replace the floor are also on the FAQ.
