Slip testing for every kind of building.

Different premises bring different floors, contaminants and footfall. Choose your sector to see how slip testing applies — or request a quote.

Supermarkets

Entrances, fresh-produce aisles, fish and deli counters and back-of-house combine water, packaging and heavy footfall, making supermarkets a classic high slip-risk environment.

Shopping centres

Polished mall floors, entrance-matting transitions and food courts see thousands of visitors a day, often with rain walked in from outside.

Retail stores

Glossy hard floors near entrances collect rainwater and create a slip risk exactly where footfall is highest.

Restaurants

Front-of-house tiles and the route to and from the kitchen pick up food, drink and grease throughout service.

Commercial kitchens

Grease, water and food debris on hard floors make kitchens one of the highest slip-risk areas in any building.

Cafés & coffee shops

Spilt drinks, milk and walked-in rainwater around the counter and seating create a constant wet-floor risk.

Pubs & bars

Spilt drinks, ice and cellar access make bar and serving areas a well-known slip hotspot.

Hotels

Lobbies, bar and restaurant floors, pool surrounds and bathrooms each present different wet-floor risks to guests and staff.

Care homes

Floors used by frail and less-mobile residents demand a higher slip-resistance target, especially in bathrooms and dining areas.

Hospitals

Clinical areas, entrances and washrooms combine cleaning regimes, spills and vulnerable users, so floors are tested against demanding targets.

GP surgeries & clinics

Waiting areas and treatment rooms see wet weather walked in and frequent cleaning, with many vulnerable visitors.

Dental practices

Reception and surgery floors face regular cleaning and disinfection that can change their slip resistance.

Schools

Entrances, halls, corridors and toilets see heavy, fast-moving footfall and weather walked in from outside.

Colleges & universities

Atriums, labs, sports areas and halls of residence combine high footfall with spills and cleaning.

Nurseries & early years

Floors used by very young children and their carers need dependable grip, especially around sinks and play areas.

Museums & galleries

Polished stone and timber floors in high-traffic public galleries can become slippery when rain is walked in.

Libraries

Entrances and public areas collect rainwater on hard floors where quiet, distracted footfall raises the risk.

Leisure centres

Wet changing areas, poolside and studio floors are among the most demanding slip environments, often tested barefoot.

Swimming pools

Pool surrounds, changing rooms and showers are barefoot wet areas, tested with the Slider 55 against strict targets.

Gyms & fitness studios

Changing rooms, showers and studio floors face sweat, water and cleaning products that reduce grip.

Airports

Vast terminal floors, often polished stone, carry huge footfall with luggage and collect water at entrances and around catering.

Railway stations

Concourses, platforms and stairs see heavy footfall and rain blown in — a classic environment for slip claims.

Bus & coach stations

Open-fronted concourses and waiting areas collect rainwater on hard floors used by large numbers of people.

Car parks

Ramps, stairwells and decks are exposed to rain, oil and vehicle drips, and sloped surfaces need higher slip-resistance targets.

Petrol stations & forecourts

Forecourts and shop entrances combine fuel, water and heavy in-and-out footfall.

Offices

Entrances, kitchens and breakout areas collect spills and walked-in rain on hard floors.

Factories & manufacturing

Production floors face oils, water, swarf and process spillage, with clear duty-of-care obligations to staff.

Warehouses & distribution centres

Loading bays, pick faces and entrances see water, dust and forklift traffic across large hard floors.

Food processing & production

Wet, greasy production environments are among the highest slip risks, with stringent hygiene cleaning that affects floors.

Cold stores

Condensation, ice and the move between temperatures make cold-store and chill-area floors a particular slip hazard.

Cinemas & theatres

Foyers, bars and sloped auditorium aisles combine spilt drinks, low light and changing levels.

Places of worship

Historic stone and tiled floors in high-occupancy buildings can become slippery when wet, with many older visitors.

Stadiums & arenas

Concourses, steps and hospitality areas handle surges of footfall with spilt drinks and weather exposure.

Showrooms & dealerships

Large polished display floors look impressive but turn slippery near entrances when rain is walked in.

Banks & building societies

Polished entrance and banking-hall floors collect rainwater where footfall is concentrated.

Pharmacies

Compact retail floors near entrances collect walked-in water, with many older and less-mobile customers.

Veterinary practices

Reception and treatment floors face cleaning, disinfection and spills, with frequent wet-mopping.

Public buildings & council offices

Civic entrances, halls and washrooms serve the whole public and carry clear duty-of-care obligations.

Student accommodation

Communal entrances, kitchens and bathrooms see heavy shared use and frequent spills.

Garden centres

Indoor-outdoor transitions, plant watering and trolleys keep garden-centre floors persistently wet.
