UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accredited slip resistance testing for food manufacturing sites across the South West & Wales — covering Bristol, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, South Wales and North Wales — including the Western Gateway Freeport at Avonmouth/Severnside, the Plymouth Freeport, the Filton aerospace cluster, the Celtic Freeport at Port Talbot/Milford Haven, and the Wrexham Industrial Estate.
South West & Wales · 9 counties
Sector profile. Food manufacturing creates the most demanding slip-testing environment in UK industry. Wet washdown regimes, organic residue, hot/cold zone transitions, hygienic resin floors, and BRC-driven cleaning chemistry all interact to produce slip risks that vary hour-by-hour through a production shift.
Regional industrial cluster. The South West & Wales is a key region for food manufacturing activity — covering Bristol, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, South Wales and North Wales — including the Western Gateway Freeport at Avonmouth/Severnside, the Plymouth Freeport, the Filton aerospace cluster, the Celtic Freeport at Port Talbot/Milford Haven, and the Wrexham Industrial Estate.
Every food manufacturing site in the South West & Wales has a distinct surface vocabulary that drives the testing protocol.
Polyurethane methyl methacrylate (PMMA) hygienic flooringthe dominant high-care food production finish, with PTV strongly affected by cleaning chemistry
Cementitious polyurethane (Flowfresh, Ucrete) heavy-duty production floorsthe BRC-favoured finish for wet-washdown zones
Epoxy resin floors in low-care zones, packing halls and ancillary areastested under representative wet conditions
Mechanically-keyed anti-slip aggregate finishes at process-water entry pointsthe highest-priority intervention zones
Stainless steel and aluminium tread plates at platform transitionstested independently of floor
Drainage-channel grilles and floor-drain surroundshigh-incident edge zones
