UKAS Slip Testing Serving Kilkenny & County Kilkenny

Kilkenny, with around 27,000 in Kilkenny City, is a significant market for slip resistance testing. Kilkenny punches well above its weight — a heritage tourism destination with strong hospitality, retail and public sector demand. Its medieval streets and stone architecture make slip resistance a particular concern.

We travel to Kilkenny 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 Kilkenny

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

What Makes Kilkenny Different

Kilkenny\’s Medieval Mile is paved with historic stone that has been walked on for 800 years. In wet weather these surfaces present a genuine slip hazard — but they also cannot simply be replaced. We work with conservation officers and local authorities to document and mitigate risk without destroying heritage character.

We carried out a stone slip-resistance survey for a Kilkenny tour operator who was seeing a rising number of minor tourist injuries on guided walks. The resulting accredited report allowed them to produce a proper risk assessment, update their visitor briefings, and bring their insurer back on-side.

Areas We Cover Around Kilkenny

Our Kilkenny coverage extends to: Kilkenny City, Castlecomer, Thomastown, Callan and Graiguenamanagh. Sites outside these areas can usually still be covered — please get in touch with a postcode and we will confirm.
