Dumfries & Galloway · Queen of the South
Sure footing, from the Solway to Galloway.
Independent, UKAS-accredited slip testing across the south-west of Scotland — the Solway coast, the Galloway forest and the market towns. Grip measured wet and dry, with a report you can rely on.
The case for it
Why it needs measuring
Grip is invisible, and it fades quietly as floors wear and cleaning routines drift. A test sets a clear figure against it — long before anyone discovers the problem the hard way. The HSE is plain: slips and trips are the leading cause of serious injury at work.

How a visit goes
From booking to report
We come to you
Anywhere across the region, at a time that suits — out of hours where that keeps you open.
We measure it
Wet and dry, with the pendulum and, where it matters, surface roughness.
You receive proof
A clear, accredited report an insurer, the HSE or the Care Inspectorate will accept.
Who is responsible
The duty is clear enough: if people use your floors, you must keep them safe and be able to show that you have checked. It comes from the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Workplace Regulations, which apply across Scotland; in care settings, the Care Inspectorate expects slip risk to be assessed and managed. A measured value is that proof.
Independent, and answerable to no one
We lay no flooring, sell no coatings and take no commission — so the figure answers to nothing but the measurement. It comes from the same UKAS-accredited laboratory that has tested floors for Amazon, Gatwick, British Airways and TUI, and which examines more than 300 flooring products a year.
