Services
Anti-slip coatings
Our anti-slip coatings provide permanent slip resistance on ceramic, porcelain, and quarry tiles. The virtually invisible liquid treatment enhances safety without altering surface aesthetics. Ideal for wet areas like swimming pools and kitchens, it allows immediate use post-application with minimal business disruption.
Pendulum testing
We conduct HSE-approved pendulum slip assessments to evaluate surface safety. This scientific measurement determines coefficient of friction values, identifying risks and compliance with current legislation. Testing informs tailored treatment recommendations for commercial and industrial environments.
Access ramps
Our non-slip ramp treatments ensure compliance with accessibility regulations. Designed for both internal and external use, these solutions prevent slips on inclines while maintaining wheelchair accessibility. Ideal for public buildings, transport hubs, and commercial premises.
Tactile warnings
We install tactile hazard warning surfaces meeting DDA requirements. These textured surfaces provide essential slip resistance and navigation assistance for visually impaired individuals in high-risk areas like station platforms and public walkways.
Terrazzo treatment
Our specialist terrazzo treatments maintain the natural aesthetics while enhancing slip resistance. Suitable for historic buildings and commercial spaces, the process preserves surface integrity while meeting modern safety standards for high-traffic areas.
