/ The local picture

Why slip testing matters for insurance & legal in Brighton.

Brighton's insurance & legal estate concentrates around the Lanes, the seafront and the Royal Pavilion, with a wider catchment across Hove, Kemptown, Hanover, Patcham, Portslade and the rest of East Sussex. The HSE region of competence is South East.

Within this sector, the typical risk vectors are loss of evidence due to remediation, refurbishment or routine cleaning before testing can occur. Slip-related personal-injury claims continue to make up the largest single category of UK public-liability insurance loss. The duty-holder is regulated by the Civil Procedure Rules, particularly CPR Part 35, and the courts, and expert evidence under CPR Part 35 must be impartial, independent, and directed to the court — not to the instructing party.

Typical surfaces we test in Brighton insurance & legal sites include any surface relevant to a pleaded claim, with chain-of-custody documentation. Where the surface is wet, contaminated, or in a barefoot zone, the appropriate slider and contamination protocol is selected at the point of test.

/ FAQ

Common questions.

How quickly can you reach a insurance & legal site in Brighton?

Standard mobilisation to Brighton and East Sussex is 2–5 working days. Urgent or post-incident response within 48 hours is available — call 0208 246 5562 to confirm capacity.

Are you UKAS accredited for slip testing?

Yes. Our pendulum slip testing is performed under our UKAS ISO 17025 accreditation, using calibrated equipment with traceable certification. UKAS accreditation is held by a minority of UK slip-testing providers and is the most defensible credential for an evidential report.

What happens if my Brighton insurance & legal site fails the slip test?

You receive a clear narrative of why it failed, which test points are problematic, and a tiered set of remediation options — operational controls, surface treatment, or replacement. We are independent of treatment manufacturers, so the advice is free of conflict.

Will the report be accepted by my insurer or by the HSE?

Yes. Reports are formatted to meet the evidential standards expected by UK insurers, the HSE region South East office, and the courts. Calibration certificates and chain-of-custody documentation are included as standard.

Do you cover East Sussex in general, not just Brighton city centre?

Yes. Our Brighton field cover extends across Hove, Kemptown, Hanover, Patcham, Portslade and the wider East Sussex at no additional travel cost. Single fixed-fee quote, inclusive of travel.
