UKAS Slip Testing Serving Newry & County Down / County Armagh

Newry, with around 27,000, is a significant market for slip resistance testing. Newry is Northern Ireland\’s newest city and a major cross-border retail and logistics hub. Its position on the A1/M1 Dublin–Belfast corridor makes it a strategic centre for both jurisdictions.

We travel to Newry 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).

What Makes Newry Different

Newry\’s retail parks attract shoppers from both sides of the border, and currency fluctuations drive enormous spikes in footfall. The resulting combination of unfamiliar shoppers, wet weather, and heavy basket loads creates a genuine slip-risk profile that quiet-town stores simply do not see.

We tested a Newry retail park anchor store where slip incidents were running at twice the UK retail average. Testing identified that the entrance floor surface — identical to the rest of the UK estate — was performing worse in Newry because the Mourne-direction rainfall was regularly overwhelming the entrance matting design.

Areas We Cover Around Newry

Our Newry coverage extends to: Newry, Warrenpoint, Rostrevor, Bessbrook and Crossmaglen. Sites outside these areas can usually still be covered — please get in touch with a postcode and we will confirm.
