Argyll & Bute · Earra-Ghàidheal
Sure footing — mainland, peninsula and isle.
Independent, UKAS-accredited slip testing the length of Argyll & Bute — grip measured wet and dry, with a report you can rely on. Mainland or island, we get there.
The case for it
Why measure grip
Grip is invisible, and it fades as floors wear, the weather comes indoors and cleaning routines drift. A test puts a clear figure against it — before anyone finds the problem the hard way. The HSE is clear: slips and trips are the leading cause of serious injury at work.
Both to BS 7976-2 and BS EN 16165, read against UKSRG guidance. The full method →
How a visit goes
From booking to report
We come to you
Mainland or island, at a time that suits — out of hours where it keeps you open.
We measure it
Wet and dry, with the pendulum and, where it matters, surface roughness.
You get proof
A clear, accredited report an insurer, the HSE or the Care Inspectorate will accept.
The duty
Where responsibility sits
The obligation is clear: anyone responsible for a floor in use must keep it safe and be able to demonstrate they have checked. That stems from the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Workplace Regulations, in force across Scotland, and in care settings the Care Inspectorate expects slip risk to be assessed and managed. A measured value is that demonstration.
No exceptions
Independent — full stop
We are wholly independent — no flooring to sell, no coatings to recommend, no commission from anyone — so the figure is unshaded by anything we might gain. It comes from the same UKAS-accredited laboratory that has tested floors for Amazon, Gatwick, British Airways and TUI, and that assesses more than 300 flooring products a year.

Have your floors tested
Send the surface, a rough area in square metres and where you are in Argyll — mainland or island. A fixed, no-obligation quote returns, usually the same working day. Island and remote sites are no obstacle, and we’re glad to test out of hours.
Independent and ISO/IEC 17025 accredited (UKAS Testing Laboratory No. 7933). We test floors; we do not sell flooring or treatments.
