Pool Slip Testing in Manchester

Manchester pool landscape

Manchester combines a dense city-centre hotel pool estate with the Manchester Aquatics Centre, leisure centres operated by Manchester City Council and surrounding boroughs, the substantial private health-club estate around the Northern Quarter and Spinningfields, and university aquatic facilities.

Typical Manchester instructions

Typical Manchester instructions include: hotel-group periodic compliance; council leisure trust testing across MCR Active and surrounding partner trusts; pre-acquisition due diligence for hotel and leisure asset transactions; expert witness instructions for the regional PI bar.

UKAS-accredited testing across Greater Manchester

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