Pool Slip Testing in Bath

Bath pool landscape

Bath combines the Bath Sports and Leisure Centre with the Thermae Bath Spa (one of the most distinctive UK spa pool venues, with thermal waters and listed-building constraints), alongside heritage hotel pool stock across the World Heritage city-centre estate and the University of Bath aquatics facilities.

Typical Bath instructions

Typical Bath instructions include: heritage and listed-building pool compliance (with World Heritage Site constraints affecting remediation choices); thermal spa pool testing; hotel-group periodic compliance; and pre-acquisition due diligence for heritage hotel transactions.

UKAS-accredited testing across Somerset

We deliver UKAS ISO/IEC 17025-accredited pendulum and surface roughness testing in Bath and across the wider Somerset region under the same accreditation that covers our national operations. Pendulum testing follows BS EN 16165:2021 Annex C (the current UK standard, replacing BS 7976-2 in February 2022) using Slider 55 for barefoot pool environments, with Slider 57 and Slider 96 added for sock and shod transitions where relevant. Reports are typically delivered within five working days of the visit, with urgent attendance available where post-incident or pre-handover deadlines require it.
