Builders' merchants yards combine large outdoor concrete-and-tarmac trade-counter areas with covered storage and loading zones — producing PTV briefs that include both staff and trade-customer public-liability considerations.

Every builders' merchants yards site has a distinct surface vocabulary that drives the testing protocol. We test the actual surfaces present, not a generic baseline.

Builders' merchants slip testing operates under HSE INDG225 and Workplace Regulations 1992 Reg 12, with additional public-liability considerations for trade-customer access. UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 reports support both HSE compliance and PL-insurer documentation.
