Slip testing in Melbourne

Melbourne is our home city. Slip Audit operates from Premrest's base in Thomastown, in Melbourne's north, and provides on-site slip resistance testing across the CBD and the entire metropolitan area.

Local testing, backed by local floor care experience

Slip Audit is operated by Premrest (Premier Restorations Group Pty Ltd), a Melbourne-based commercial floor care company. Premrest teams work on commercial floors across Melbourne every day, from office towers and bank branches to retail and industrial sites, so when your slip test uncovers a problem, the advice on what to do next comes from people who deal with these surfaces for a living.

We test existing pedestrian surfaces in accordance with AS 4663:2013 using both the wet pendulum and dry floor friction methods, and every report interprets your results against the recommendations of HB 198:2014 in plain English.

Melbourne coverage

We service the Melbourne CBD and greater metropolitan area, including the northern suburbs around our Thomastown base, the inner city, the eastern and south-eastern suburbs, and the western growth corridors. Sites outside metro Melbourne can be quoted on request.

What we test across Melbourne

Wet weather, polished lobby stone and heavy pedestrian traffic make entry zones and external surfaces the usual trouble spots in Melbourne buildings.

Commercial

CBD office towers, lobbies, end-of-trip facilities and managed buildings.

Retail

Shopping centres, supermarkets and strip retail across the metro area.

Aged care

Residential aged care and healthcare facilities throughout Melbourne.

Industrial

Warehouses and logistics sites in the northern and western industrial precincts.

More about the industries we serve

What you receive

  • Wet pendulum and dry friction test results, with P and D classifications, for every agreed location
  • Plain-English interpretation against HB 198:2014 guidance
  • Prioritised recommendations, ranked by risk
  • Referrals to rectify any surface that falls short
  • Optional retesting after rectification to document the improvement

Reports that lead to action

Most Melbourne building owners who order a slip test receive a table of pendulum numbers and nothing else. Our reports are different: every result comes with an explanation, a priority and a clear next step, and because we sit inside a commercial floor care group, the referral to fix a failed surface is part of the service rather than your problem to solve.
