Somerset coverage.
We attend hotels in person across Somerset, including:
Reports are accepted by all Somerset local authority Environmental Health teams.
Somerset's hotel sector reflects Mendip country houses, Somerset Levels heritage hotels & Glastonbury-area venues — properties whose slip-claim exposure benefits materially from rigorous, independent UKAS-accredited testing. Our Somerset programme is shaped around the Somerset country-house belt.
Court-admissible reports for Somerset hotels
Slip-risk profiles vary dramatically by property type. Knowing the Somerset hotel sector means we calibrate our testing scope and pricing precisely — no over-engineering, no missed exposure.
Mendip and Quantock country-house hotels (Bishopstrow, Babington House)
Bath-fringe country properties
Glastonbury and Wells heritage hotels
Somerset Levels and Exmoor-fringe 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 Somerset.
Properties on or near the Levels face periodic flood-zone exposure affecting ground-floor surfaces.
Festival-week traffic creates extreme load concentration on regional hotel stock.
Each zone of a hotel carries a distinct slip-risk profile and a distinct minimum PTV under UKSRG and HSE guidance. Across Somerset, 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 Somerset hotels.
Marble lobbies, polished porcelain bathrooms, corridors and entrances across Somerset.
Greasy-shod testing using slider 55 (4S rubber) for chef-line and prep zones in Somerset hotels.
Treatment-room thresholds, hammams, relaxation lounges, barefoot circuits in Somerset spa hotels.

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