Local risk patterns

What makes The Channel Islands hotel testing different.

Generic slip-test providers send the same report regardless of property type or region. We adjust our test methodology to the specific risk patterns we see in The Channel Islands.

Atlantic salt-and-sand exposure

Open-aspect Channel Island coastal hotels face the most aggressive Atlantic salt weathering of any UK hotel.

Granite outdoor flooring

Local granite outdoor surfaces vary widely in PTV when wet — bespoke testing essential.

Hotel zones tested in The Channel Islands

Every floor in your The Channel Islands property, tested properly.

Each zone of a hotel carries a distinct slip-risk profile and a distinct minimum PTV under UKSRG and HSE guidance. Across The Channel Islands, we test all of them with the slider, contaminant and shod-state appropriate to actual use.

The Channel Islands FAQ

Common questions from The Channel Islands hotel teams.

How much does hotel slip testing cost in The Channel Islands?

Pricing for a single-property, multi-zone The Channel Islands visit (pool surround, lobby, kitchen, bathrooms, spa) typically falls in the £500–£1,400 range, all-in. Larger properties with more test points, or those needing barefoot and shod-greasy testing, sit higher. Multi-property programmes attract group rates.

We provide fixed-price written quotations within one working day — no per-test charges, no hidden travel surcharges.

How quickly can you attend a The Channel Islands property?

For routine due-diligence testing, we typically schedule a The Channel Islands visit within 2–3 weeks of quotation acceptance. For incident-driven or urgent testing — particularly where a personal-injury claim is anticipated — we aim to attend within 48–72 hours to capture the surface in conditions representative of the incident.

How often should The Channel Islands hotels test?

We recommend annual testing as a baseline for The Channel Islands hotel properties, with high-risk zones (pool surrounds, kitchens, spa floors, main entrances) tested every 6–12 months. Additional testing should be triggered after refurbishment, a reportable slip incident (RIDDOR or near-miss), changes to cleaning regime or chemicals, or insurer-driven request as part of underwriting review.

What standards are followed for The Channel Islands hotel testing?

Our reports are produced under a stack of recognised standards: BS 7976-2 / BS EN 16165:2021 (the British and European pendulum test standard), UKSRG Issue 6 (2024) (UK Slip Resistance Group guidelines), HSE Slip Assessment Tool, and UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 (lab accreditation). For BOH staff zones, we additionally apply PAS 13 (safety walkway code of practice).

Are emergency or out-of-hours tests available in The Channel Islands?

Yes. We offer urgent call-outs and out-of-hours testing for The Channel Islands hotels — particularly valuable when responding to a slip incident or capturing surface conditions before they change. Out-of-hours visits (overnight, pre-breakfast, between covers) are scheduled in coordination with the hotel manager to ensure minimal impact on guests and staff.

Are you UKAS-accredited or just ISO-certified?

We hold UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation — issued and audited by UKAS, the only national accreditation body recognised by the UK Government. Many providers in The Channel Islands display ISO logos but are not UKAS-accredited; the difference is decisive when test data is presented to a court or insurer. UKAS-accredited labs can demonstrate a complete audit trail (calibration, technician competence, consumables traceability), and only those results carry the highest evidential weight in litigation.
