Devon coverage.
We attend hotels in person across Devon, including:
Reports are accepted by all Devon local authority Environmental Health teams.
Devon's hotel sector reflects coastal resort hotels, Dartmoor country houses & cathedral-city venues — properties whose slip-claim exposure benefits materially from rigorous, independent UKAS-accredited testing. Our Devon programme is shaped around the South West's coastal hotel belt and Dartmoor country-house cluster.
Court-admissible reports for Devon hotels
Slip-risk profiles vary dramatically by property type. Knowing the Devon hotel sector means we calibrate our testing scope and pricing precisely — no over-engineering, no missed exposure.
Torbay 'English Riviera' hotels (Torquay, Paignton)
Dartmoor country-house and shooting-estate hotels (Bovey Castle, Lewtrenchard Manor)
Exeter cathedral-city boutiques
North Devon surf-coast hotels (Woolacombe, Croyde, Saunton, Watersmeet)
South Hams and Dartmouth waterfront 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 Devon.
Devon's long coastline subjects outdoor terraces to constant salt-air weathering — anti-slip coatings degrade faster than inland properties.
Outdoor-pursuits hotels see heavy mud loads in shoulder seasons — boot-room and lobby PTV must accommodate contaminated-shod use.
North Devon surf hotels see exceptional sand and saltwater ingress through changing-room and lobby zones.
Each zone of a hotel carries a distinct slip-risk profile and a distinct minimum PTV under UKSRG and HSE guidance. Across Devon, 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 Devon hotels.
Marble lobbies, polished porcelain bathrooms, corridors and entrances across Devon.
Greasy-shod testing using slider 55 (4S rubber) for chef-line and prep zones in Devon hotels.
Treatment-room thresholds, hammams, relaxation lounges, barefoot circuits in Devon spa hotels.

Reports are accepted by all Devon local authority Environmental Health teams.
Pricing for a single-property, multi-zone Devon 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 Devon 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 Devon 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 Devon 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 Devon 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 Devon, 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 Devon.
