Our Derry client base spans public sector, hospitality, retail, industrial and legal work. The sectors we most regularly test in County Londonderry include:

What Makes Derry Different

The famous 17th-century Derry Walls are a major tourist draw, but the historic stone surface presents slip risks — especially in the winter when moss, frost and rain combine. We have worked with Derry City Council and heritage bodies on balancing visitor access with safe walking surfaces.

We tested the external paving of a Derry city-centre hotel following a slip incident at the entrance. The paving specification was fine when dry but dropped to a PTV of 19 when wet. The eventual solution combined a matting upgrade with a targeted anti-slip treatment on the worst-affected steps.
