Who We Test in Waterford

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

What Makes Waterford Different

Waterford\’s Viking Triangle contains some of the oldest paving and stone flooring in Ireland — and some of the most polished. Ten centuries of foot traffic has worn medieval stone to a mirror finish in places, which creates real slip risk when wet or during tourist season.

We tested a Waterford city-centre hotel following the installation of a new bar floor. The contractor had specified an attractive but unsuitable polished porcelain tile with a dry PTV of 31 but a wet PTV of 11 — essentially an ice rink when any drink was spilled. We documented the failure and supported the client in a warranty claim against the installer.

Areas We Cover Around Waterford

Our Waterford coverage extends to: Waterford City, Tramore, Dungarvan and Lismore. Sites outside these areas can usually still be covered — please get in touch with a postcode and we will confirm.
