Pull-off Adhesion Testing London
London's Specialist Coating Bond Strength Testing for Industrial Floors
Why London Contractors Need Adhesion Testing
We test coating bond strength before and after installation across Greater London and the M25 corridor. Our Elcometer testing reveals whether your epoxy flooring will stay bonded or fail within years.
Our teams identify substrate problems early, saving you from costly delamination repairs. Testing before coating application catches issues when fixes are cheap—not after the floor fails.
We assess existing coatings to guide overcoating decisions for warehouse flooring and industrial projects. Our reports tell you exactly what preparation your substrate needs.
What We Test Across Greater London
How Our London Teams Perform Testing
We use Elcometer 106 hydraulic testers to measure bond strength in MPa. Our technicians core through the coating to isolate test zones, then apply controlled force until failure occurs.
We test multiple locations across your floor, focusing on high-stress areas like doorways and ramp transitions. Our analysis shows exactly where separation occurs—at the substrate, within the coating, or between layers.
Proper concrete preparation ensures your substrate is strong enough for coating. Our testing confirms preparation quality before you commit to installation.
Understanding Your Test Results
We measure adhesion in MPa—most epoxy systems need 1.5 MPa minimum, heavy-duty floors require 2.0 MPa or higher. Our reports clearly show whether your floor passes specification.
Our failure analysis tells you exactly what went wrong. We photograph and document every test location, giving you evidence for warranty claims or remediation planning.
We test at 7 days for indicative results and 28 days for full cure values. Combined with slip resistance testing, our reports give you complete quality documentation.
What Our Reports Include
When to Book Testing
We test before installation to confirm your substrate is ready for coating. This prevents expensive failures that only show up after the floor is finished.
Our teams test during installation to track system development—at primer, base coat, and final cure stages. Catching problems early means cheaper fixes.
We investigate floor failures for warranty claims and insurance assessments. Our reports distinguish installation defects from substrate problems with quantified evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most epoxy floors need minimum 1.5 MPa, heavy-duty systems require 2.0 MPa or higher. We compare your results against manufacturer specs and give you a clear pass/fail.
We create small 50mm test areas that need repair after testing. Repair work is included in our service at no extra charge.
We recommend minimum three tests per 100m², with additional tests on high-stress areas. We'll advise on test density based on your floor size and project requirements.
We test at 7 days for indicative results and 28 days for full cure values. Early testing identifies severe problems before you finish installation.
Basic 3-location tests start from £250, comprehensive testing ranges £400-600. Testing fees credit against our installation quotes.
