← Hotel Slip Testing UK / Hampshire UKAS-Accredited Hotel Slip Testing

Slip resistance testing
for hotels in Hampshire.

Hampshire's hotel sector reflects New Forest country houses, Solent waterfront hotels & garrison-town venues — properties whose slip-claim exposure benefits materially from rigorous, independent UKAS-accredited testing. Our Hampshire programme is shaped around the New Forest's destination spa hotel cluster.

Local risk patterns

What makes Hampshire hotel testing different.

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 Hampshire.

New Forest grit and grass ingress

Outdoor-pursuits guests track high volumes of fine grit and grass into otherwise pristine spa hotel lobbies — affects PTV across the full guest path.

Marina and waterfront board-walk decks

Solent-side properties with timber deck walkways face seasonal algae build-up that significantly reduces wet PTV.

Cathedral-city heritage flooring

Winchester properties feature original flagstone and stone flooring requiring bespoke PTV management.

Hotel zones tested in Hampshire

Every floor in your Hampshire property, tested properly.

Each zone of a hotel carries a distinct slip-risk profile and a distinct minimum PTV under UKSRG and HSE guidance. Across Hampshire, we test all of them with the slider, contaminant and shod-state appropriate to actual use.

Hampshire FAQ

Common questions from Hampshire hotel teams.

How much does hotel slip testing cost in Hampshire?

Pricing for a single-property, multi-zone Hampshire 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.

How quickly can you attend a Hampshire property?

For routine due-diligence testing, we typically schedule a Hampshire 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.

How often should Hampshire hotels test?

We recommend annual testing as a baseline for Hampshire 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.

What standards are followed for Hampshire hotel testing?

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).

Are emergency or out-of-hours tests available in Hampshire?

Yes. We offer urgent call-outs and out-of-hours testing for Hampshire 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.

Are you UKAS-accredited or just ISO-certified?

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 Hampshire 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.
