Cheshire coverage.
We attend hotels in person across Cheshire, including:
Reports are accepted by all Cheshire local authority Environmental Health teams.
Cheshire's hotel sector reflects Cheshire country-house hotels, Chester heritage venues & Manchester-fringe business properties — properties whose slip-claim exposure benefits materially from rigorous, independent UKAS-accredited testing. Our Cheshire programme is shaped around the Cheshire 'Golden Triangle' country-house belt.
Court-admissible reports for Cheshire hotels
Slip-risk profiles vary dramatically by property type. Knowing the Cheshire hotel sector means we calibrate our testing scope and pricing precisely — no over-engineering, no missed exposure.
Cheshire country-house hotels (Mere Resort, Mottram Hall, Carden Park, Crewe Hall)
Chester heritage and walled-city hotels (Chester Grosvenor, Edgar House, Oddfellows)
Manchester-fringe business hotels
Northwich and Knutsford boutique hotels
Generic slip-test providers send the same report regardless of property type or region. We adjust our test methodology to the specific risk patterns we see in Cheshire.
High-spending weekend-spa clientele creates intensive cleaning-and-treatment demands on wet-leisure surfaces.
Chester's medieval rows and heritage thresholds require bespoke PTV management.
Cheshire's underlying salt geology produces ground-water mineral loads in spa-area surfaces.
Each zone of a hotel carries a distinct slip-risk profile and a distinct minimum PTV under UKSRG and HSE guidance. Across Cheshire, we test all of them with the slider, contaminant and shod-state appropriate to actual use.
Pool decks, changing-room thresholds, sauna and steam-room floors across Cheshire hotels.
Marble lobbies, polished porcelain bathrooms, corridors and entrances across Cheshire.
Greasy-shod testing using slider 55 (4S rubber) for chef-line and prep zones in Cheshire hotels.
Treatment-room thresholds, hammams, relaxation lounges, barefoot circuits in Cheshire spa hotels.

Pricing for a single-property, multi-zone Cheshire visit (pool surround, lobby, kitchen, bathrooms, spa) typically falls in the £500–£1,400 range, all-in. Larger properties with more test points, or those needing barefoot and shod-greasy testing, sit higher. Multi-property programmes attract group rates.
We provide fixed-price written quotations within one working day — no per-test charges, no hidden travel surcharges.
For routine due-diligence testing, we typically schedule a Cheshire visit within 2–3 weeks of quotation acceptance. For incident-driven or urgent testing — particularly where a personal-injury claim is anticipated — we aim to attend within 48–72 hours to capture the surface in conditions representative of the incident.
We recommend annual testing as a baseline for Cheshire hotel properties, with high-risk zones (pool surrounds, kitchens, spa floors, main entrances) tested every 6–12 months. Additional testing should be triggered after refurbishment, a reportable slip incident (RIDDOR or near-miss), changes to cleaning regime or chemicals, or insurer-driven request as part of underwriting review.
Our reports are produced under a stack of recognised standards: BS 7976-2 / BS EN 16165:2021 (the British and European pendulum test standard), UKSRG Issue 6 (2024) (UK Slip Resistance Group guidelines), HSE Slip Assessment Tool, and UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 (lab accreditation). For BOH staff zones, we additionally apply PAS 13 (safety walkway code of practice).
Yes. We offer urgent call-outs and out-of-hours testing for Cheshire hotels — particularly valuable when responding to a slip incident or capturing surface conditions before they change. Out-of-hours visits (overnight, pre-breakfast, between covers) are scheduled in coordination with the hotel manager to ensure minimal impact on guests and staff.
We hold UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation — issued and audited by UKAS, the only national accreditation body recognised by the UK Government. Many providers in Cheshire display ISO logos but are not UKAS-accredited; the difference is decisive when test data is presented to a court or insurer. UKAS-accredited labs can demonstrate a complete audit trail (calibration, technician competence, consumables traceability), and only those results carry the highest evidential weight in litigation.
Whether you operate a single boutique property or a group with sites across Cheshire, we'll return a fully-costed, no-obligation quotation within one working day.
Mon–Fri, 8am–6pm
Out-of-hours testing available by arrangement across Cheshire.
