Pool Slip Testing in Bristol

Bristol pool landscape

Bristol is the largest pool market in the South West, with the Hengrove Park leisure centre, hotel pool stock across the city centre and harbourside, the University of Bristol facilities, and council leisure centres operated by Bristol City Council partner trusts.

Typical Bristol instructions

Typical Bristol instructions include: leisure trust periodic compliance; hotel-group periodic testing across the harbourside and city-centre estate; care home and retirement-community pool testing across the South West; and pre-acquisition due diligence for regional hotel and leisure transactions.

UKAS-accredited testing across Bristol

We deliver UKAS ISO/IEC 17025-accredited pendulum and surface roughness testing in Bristol and across the wider Bristol 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.
