Slip testing in Melbourne
On-site slip resistance testing across the Melbourne CBD and metropolitan area from a Premrest business. Wet pendulum and dry floor friction tests to AS 4663:2013, a report that rates every floor against HB 198:2014, and a rectification quote from Premrest if anything falls short.
Melbourne floors and Melbourne weather
Melbourne gets its rain in short, frequent bursts, and the classic Melbourne slip happens on a polished lobby floor in the first ten minutes of one. Bluestone and granite paving in the CBD, honed stone in tower foyers, glazed tile in laneway cafes and terrazzo in older civic buildings all behave differently once wet, and all of them are tested wet for that reason.
We service the CBD and Docklands, the inner north and inner east, the bayside suburbs, the eastern and south-eastern corridors out to Dandenong, the western suburbs and the northern growth areas. Regional Victorian sites are quoted on request.
One supplier across Melbourne and the other capitals
Many of our Melbourne clients also have sites in the other two cities. Sliptest runs the whole program from one place: one account contact, one scoping method, one report template and one register, so the Melbourne results sit alongside the rest of the portfolio rather than in a separate file. See national slip testing programs.
Part of Premrest
Sliptest is the slip testing business unit of Premrest, Australia's go-to for commercial floor care, with crews working on Melbourne commercial floors every day. When a location falls short, Premrest quotes the rectification, carries it out and Sliptest retests. See rectification by Premrest.
How a single Melbourne site is priced
Pricing is set by state and by the number of areas tested, so the online form gives you the Victoria price the moment you add your locations. It covers travel within the metropolitan area, testing to AS 4663:2013 at every location, and the written report. After-hours visits carry a higher rate that is shown before you book. There is nothing to pay until after the visit.
What you receive
A report by email with a one-page summary and a full record for every location: photograph, surface, condition, readings, class and the HB 198:2014 target it was measured against, plus ranked recommendations for anything below target. See what your report contains.
- Office towers and end-of-trip facilities in the CBD and Southbank
- Shopping centres and strip retail from Chadstone to Highpoint
- Aged care and hospital campuses across the metro area
- Schools and universities, including wet play and pool areas
- Distribution centres and manufacturing sites in the north and west
- Strata common property in apartment towers and townhouse estates
Two methods, one visit
Wet-in-service areas are tested with the wet pendulum. Dry internal routes are tested with the dry floor friction method. Most Melbourne sites need both, and both are included in the same report.
