UKAS Slip Testing Serving Sligo & County Sligo

Sligo, with around 20,000 in Sligo Town, is a significant market for slip resistance testing. Sligo is the largest urban centre in Ireland\’s North-West, a cultural hub with Yeats associations, a growing tourism sector, and a developing medtech presence around the Institute of Technology.

We travel to Sligo 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 Sligo

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

What Makes Sligo Different

Sligo\’s location on the Atlantic coast exposes buildings to some of the wettest and most wind-driven weather in Ireland. Coastal hotels, the Rosses Point promenade, and Strandhill\’s surf-destination infrastructure all face slip challenges that inland sites simply do not have.

We tested the external terraces and pool surround of a Sligo coastal hotel following a guest slip incident. Salt air had gradually etched the stone surface over five years, reducing wet PTV from a compliant 38 at installation to 22 at retest. The hotel used our report to initiate a planned stone restoration programme.

Areas We Cover Around Sligo

Our Sligo coverage extends to: Sligo Town, Strandhill, Rosses Point, Enniscrone and Ballymote. Sites outside these areas can usually still be covered — please get in touch with a postcode and we will confirm.

Slip Testing in Sligo — Local Questions

Do you cover coastal and pool-surround testing?

Yes. Pool surrounds, spa facilities and coastal terraces all face specific challenges — salt, chlorine, and UV weathering all affect slip resistance over time.

Can you travel to remote parts of the North-West?

Yes. We regularly test sites in Donegal, Mayo and Leitrim alongside Sligo bookings.

What is the typical testing frequency for a coastal hotel?

We recommend annual testing for any coastal property, and more frequent testing after significant weather events or refurbishment.
