UKAS Slip Testing Serving Dublin & County Dublin

Dublin, with roughly 1.5 million people, is a significant market for slip resistance testing. Ireland's capital and economic engine. Dublin's density of hotels, tech campuses, shopping centres and public buildings makes it the single largest market for slip testing in the country.

We travel to Dublin regularly from our UK laboratory, carrying out on-site BS 7976 pendulum testing, lab sample certification, floor safety audits and expert witness work under the same UKAS ISO 17025 accreditation (Schedule No. 7933) that governs every other job we do. A single accredited report is valid in Irish and UK courts, with insurers, and with the HSA (Republic) or HSE NI (Northern Ireland).

Who We Test in Dublin

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

What Makes Dublin Different

Dublin\’s mix of historic stone (O\’Connell Street, Temple Bar cobbles) and brand-new polished concrete (the docklands) creates an especially varied slip-risk profile. We see failures on both extremes — stone becomes lethally polished after decades of foot traffic, and new high-gloss concrete is often laid without any slip resistance specification.

We were recently engaged by a four-star hotel group on Dawson Street following an incident in their lobby. Post-incident testing revealed a PTV of 18 in wet conditions — clearly below the HSE \’high slip potential\’ threshold of 25 — and our accredited report enabled their insurer to settle defensively with full documentation.

Areas We Cover Around Dublin

Our Dublin coverage extends to: Dublin 1–24 postal districts, plus Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown and Fingal. Sites outside these areas can usually still be covered — please get in touch with a postcode and we will confirm.

Slip Testing in Dublin — Local Questions

How quickly can you get to a site in central Dublin?

For sites within the M50, we can typically attend within 5–7 working days. For urgent post-incident attendance in Dublin we can often get an engineer on site within 48–72 hours.

Do you test floors in Dublin hotels during operating hours?

Yes — the pendulum test is non-destructive and takes only a few minutes per test area. We routinely test Dublin hotel lobbies, bars and restaurants during quiet periods (typically mid-morning or early afternoon) with no disruption to guests.

What is the most common slip risk in Dublin retail?

Wet entrance matting during Dublin\’s frequent rainfall is by far the largest single cause of slip incidents in the city\’s retail environments. We recommend seasonal re-testing for any store with a high street entrance.
