Pool Slip Testing in Portsmouth

Portsmouth pool landscape

Portsmouth combines the Pyramids Centre with hotel pool stock around Gunwharf Quays and the waterfront, leisure centres operated by Portsmouth City Council partner trusts, and the University of Portsmouth facilities.

Typical Portsmouth instructions

Typical Portsmouth instructions include: leisure trust periodic compliance; hotel-group periodic testing around the waterfront estate; pre-handover testing on commercial refurbishments; and care home portfolio testing across the Hampshire residential-care provider base.

UKAS-accredited testing across Hampshire

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