West Midlands coverage.
We attend hotels in person across West Midlands, including:
Reports are accepted by all West Midlands local authority Environmental Health teams.
West Midlands's hotel sector reflects Birmingham city-centre business hotels, NEC airport hotels & conference venues — properties whose slip-claim exposure benefits materially from rigorous, independent UKAS-accredited testing. Our West Midlands programme is shaped around the UK's largest regional business-hotel hub.
Court-admissible reports for West Midlands hotels
Slip-risk profiles vary dramatically by property type. Knowing the West Midlands hotel sector means we calibrate our testing scope and pricing precisely — no over-engineering, no missed exposure.
Birmingham city-centre branded hotels (Hyatt, Hilton Metropole, Edgbaston Park, Grand)
NEC and Birmingham Airport gateway hotels
Coventry and Solihull business and conference hotels
Wolverhampton and Black Country business 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 West Midlands.
NEC and ICC arrivals create surge traffic across hotel lobbies, often in wet conditions — slip-risk peaks during major conference cycles.
Birmingham's modern hotel stock uses polished concrete extensively — performs well dry, but PTV drops sharply when wet without appropriate sealant.
Birmingham's canal-network-adjacent hotels face year-round damp loads on outdoor surfaces.
Each zone of a hotel carries a distinct slip-risk profile and a distinct minimum PTV under UKSRG and HSE guidance. Across West Midlands, 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 West Midlands hotels.
Marble lobbies, polished porcelain bathrooms, corridors and entrances across West Midlands.
Greasy-shod testing using slider 55 (4S rubber) for chef-line and prep zones in West Midlands hotels.
Treatment-room thresholds, hammams, relaxation lounges, barefoot circuits in West Midlands spa hotels.

Pricing for a single-property, multi-zone West Midlands 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 West Midlands 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 West Midlands 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 West Midlands 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 West Midlands 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 West Midlands, 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 West Midlands.
